Which brides will suit?
A wedding white bouquet is suitable for a celebration at any time of the year, it is a particularly good choice for girls who have chosen a holiday scenario with a classic snow-white robe.Such a composition will beautifully emphasize the conservative style of the bride and in a special way will tint pearl jewelry on her hair.
Despite the fact that delicate bouquets of white flowers for a wedding are perfectly combined with any style or style of dress, they are nevertheless best chosen by the most fragile and young virgins.
Light shades emphasize their modesty, innocence and vulnerability. For more "mature" brides, it is recommended to use bouquets with color and bright design.
In addition, it was noted that girls who are particularly prone to white shades are given preference for inner calm and poise. As for the external data of the bride, they do not play any role. Snow-white compositions are perfect for blondes, brunettes, and chubby or thin ladies. The main thing is that the decor of the bouquet goes well with accessories and dress.
Color selection
When designing a wedding bouquet, first of all, you need to pay attention to what flowers it will consist of. Traditionally, solemn compositions are made out of white roses, as they look gently and attract the attention of others. In addition, light buds originally complement any style of dress.
To give roses more effect and expressiveness, they are complemented with a blue and pink tint.
It will look good at a wedding ceremony and a mono-bouquet, it will become a symbol of pure and true love.
Noble roses, thanks to their luxurious and regular shapes and beauty, emphasize the romance of a young girl. In addition to roses, when creating snow-white bouquets, florists also use delicate callas, chrysanthemums, peonies, freesias and mysterious orchids. In the summer, compositions can fill tulips, lilacs, daisies, lilies of the valley and gladioli.
Tulips are considered special flowers, because they look fresh and natural, indicate a reverent and tender love. A mono-bouquet of white tulips is suitable for young girls who are characterized by purity of soul and innocence.
Lilies of the valley most often choose brides who are prone to creativity and adventurism.
The only thing is that these flowers are too "moody": their flowering period is short and they quickly fade.
If the celebration takes place in the spring, then the bride can indulge herself with a delicate and stylish composition of lilies of the valley.
For girls with expressive and extraordinary appearance, it is recommended to select bouquets of orchids, they look elegant, and their interesting colors will give the bride an individual image.
If peonies are chosen for the composition, then they are necessarily supplemented with inflorescences of small hydrangea. They look especially sophisticated and fit well under the image of a fragile and tender girl. Hydrangeas are most often used as the main background to give the bouquet splendor and volume.
Ranunculuses will also become an original choice for a snow-white composition, their monotonous shade looks stylish and impressive, in addition, these flowers can be combined well with different colors.
If the bride wants to have an unusual bouquet, white anemone decoration is also suitable for her. The contrasting transition of a dark shade to their core (from light blue to black) makes the flowers very interesting.
Combination with other colors
Of course, white bouquets are beautiful, but sometimes the style of wedding decoration requires complementing them with bright shades. To get a harmonious and holistic composition, it is important to choose the right combination of colors. Since in floristry it is possible to use the entire classic circle of flowers, consisting of 7 tones and purple, then it is necessary to correctly make transitions. To do this, you should add the composition of the primary primary colors and only then dilute them with intermediate secondary colors.
First of all, you need to decide which palette will prevail in the bouquet: cold or warm.If you plan to make a composition of warm colors, it is recommended to combine a white background with orange, beige, peach and cream color. Wedding bouquets in red and white will also look good. To design a composition in cold shades, white should be diluted with gray, purple, green and blue.
Black-and-white bouquet is ideal for courageous brides, but in order to beautifully complement the image, you should carefully select accessories.
Bright combinations of colors look interesting in wedding compositions, in which the main background is made white and the edges are decorated in opposite shades. Thanks to a skillful game with shades, it is possible to emphasize the beauty of an individual flower.
The most important thing is not to overdo it with a sharp contrast, otherwise the bouquet will turn out ridiculous and unnatural.
It is best to experiment with pastel colors and prefer a sky blue, twilight and beige shade.
Bouquet design
Since the wedding ceremony is considered the main event in life, for its organization it is necessary to provide for all the nuances, and the choice of style for a bouquet is no exception.
At the same time, when buying a floral arrangement, it is important not only to pay attention to its cost, but also to the decor of the bride’s dress, season. So, for example, snow roses, orchids and lilies can be collected in a bouquet both in summer and winter, but seasonal flowers such as daisies, tulips and lilies of the valley are available only in a certain period.
In addition, the design of the wedding bouquet provides for a certain form. To date, florists under the order can create the following types of compositions.
- Round. To do this, snow-white flowers are spiral mounted on a special frame. The result is a bouquet with the correct round shape, but on the side it looks flat.
- Hemisphere. It is considered the most common option for modern girls. The composition looks voluminous and beautiful.
- Ball. It is characterized by an interesting appearance and is great for creative people. A small ball is assembled from flowers on the frame; it is attached to the wrist with a special tape.
- Skipper. The bouquet has an elongated shape, because it is collected and attached to its own stems of the plant.
- Cascade. It features an unusual view in the form of a falling waterfall. For its design, they first make a voluminous base, then separate inflorescences are attached from it with a pass.
- Sickle. In this case, the buds are fixed on the frame, getting the shape of a crescent.
- Glamelia. This design is considered the most complex, since the composition is collected from individual petals and decorative elements. The result is an elegant and stylish bouquet in the form of one large flower.
In addition, florists can optionally complement the wedding attribute with original ribbons, wildflower inflorescences, beads, rhinestones and berries. The choice of decorative elements depends not only on the personal preferences of the bride, but also the style of the wedding dress. The image of the girl should be original, sophisticated and holistic.
Combination with dress and accessories
A wedding bouquet is the main component of the bride’s style, so most often girls try to choose white compositions that do not stand out from the background of the dress and add delicate notes along with it. In addition, the snow-white attribute also provides natural makeup, bright lipstick and defiant manicure will ruin the color balance.
Despite the fact that the white bouquet is considered universal and harmonizes with any style of clothing, it should not stand out too much in the image and attract a lot of attention.
Snow-white compositions are ideally combined with light dresses, while it is advisable to choose flowers in a bouquet a few tones darker from the dress. So, for example, if the fabric of the dress is milky white, then the ideal solution would be bouquets in which there will be shades of pink and cream.For a colored dress, it is advisable to purchase small white bouquets, they will not appear bulky and much more convenient when performing a photo shoot. Large and bright compositions, on the contrary, will be able to cover the beauty of the clothes and the face of the bride.
We must not forget that the wedding attribute must find its combination in the image of the groom.
To create a single sample, newlyweds are advised to arrange white bouquets in the same style as the groom’s boutonniere. The result is a harmonious and luxurious couple. It is equally important that the flower arrangement is ideally suited to the girl's hairstyle. An interesting solution would be if the bride adds a living flower from a wedding bouquet to the styling.
A solemn accessory is also selected for the girl’s gloves, in the case when there is openwork decor or beads on them, the composition should be supplemented with a similar decoration. In this case, the stems of the flowers should be well cut and wrapped, especially for white roses.
It is undesirable to collect compositions from plants that have too bright aromas, as the flowers will be with the bride all day and can cause allergies or cause headaches.
As for the harmony of the bouquet with the dress, it is worth noting that recently modern brides give preference to different shades. Therefore, if a girl chooses a blue, red, beige or purple outfit, he will be able to originally complement the white composition of fragrant flowers. For brides in a beige dress, it is advisable to purchase snow-white bouquets diluted with purple, red, blue and brown. In this case, the flowers are selected the most delicate, and in the style they try to avoid unnecessary decor elements and expressive contrast.
Cream decoration will help emphasize the snow-white bouquet, in which there are cold tones. For example, the background can be made of white roses, and the edges can be decorated with dark purple, lilac and lavender inserts. The image of the bride will look stylish with a bouquet made in white, yellow and coral shades. If the girl decided to wear a light brown outfit, then in a similar color scheme there should be a bouquet. To do this, buds of gray, red and blue colors are woven into white flowers.
Depending on the style of the dress, the shape of the snow-white composition is selected. If there are no decor elements in the outfit, then the bouquet is also made simple, which will add charm and style to the image. For a dress sheathed with beads and ribbons, it is advisable to purchase small bouquets of roses, on the petal of each of which beads will be glued.
