Bridal bouquet colors can always have some hidden meaning for the bride and groom, if you pay attention. A certain combination of flowers with the right color and design can certainly tell more than words. Usually people know what a color means but do we ever pay attention to the bridal bouquet colors?
When you choose a bridal bouquet color, take some small things in consideration. For example, if it matches your dress and your maid’s of honor dress and if it does, that color is perfect for you. If you plan to choose only one color for your wedding, make sure everything matches, including your bridal bouquet.
At the beginning, the bride and groom wanted to show the guests what they wanted in their new life through the bridal bouquet. It is also considered good luck if you have certain flowers or a certain color in your bouquet.
You can choose a trendy color for your bridal bouquet or you can go and have one which has a special meaning to you and your future husband.
For example the color red represents passion and love but it is also known to bring good luck and a lot of happiness; if you combine it with pink you will add friendship.
Orange is the intellectual color which inspires the couple to create great things together and combined with light blue it will also mean a healthy life and a happy marriage.
A bridal bouquet which includes the color purple will mean financial growth and spiritual connection between the bride and groom. Yellow color means a growing intellect and cooperation between the man and wife and white means purity, a protected house and fidelity.
Tell your florist what design and colors you want and be sure that at least one of the colors contained by the bouquet matches the whole arrangement color. The best thing is to create smaller versions of your bouquet and put them on every table in the restaurant.
Wedding day is without doubt one of the biggest days of our life so choose carefully everything, especially the color, if you don’t want to regret anything at the end of it. It is very important to have a special wedding and be happy about everything, especially your bridal bouquet color.
Don’t be stressed, try to make good decisions and ask your florist to show you different tones of the color you desire so that you can make the perfect choice. Also, give as much information as you can before ordering a bridal bouquet: maid of honor dress color, your dress color, the whole arrangement predominant color and, of course, the color you wish to add in your bouquet.
One of the most important things about your bouquet is the fact that you must like it, no matter how it looks and what others say. If you just hate the color somebody recommended, don’t use it; choose something you like and don’t feel bad about it, after all, it’s your wedding.

The wedding day is about having fun, and the bridal bouquet should reflect this.
Carnations and gerberas are other flowers that have been favoured with a yellow bridal bouquet because of their variations of the shade of yellow.

Any florist worth their weight in gold would be happy to advise you on the best shades to accompany the yellow bridal bouquet.

A purely pink bridal bouquet is the most fun bouquet to have in the spring or summer. It is chic, sweet, and extremely fashionable. Pink-themed weddings are feminine, romantic, and frilly, so a pink bridal bouquet sets the tone for what is sure to be a dreamy affair. A pink bridal bouquet can be made up of any flowers, so they can really reflect the bride’s personality. Pink Gerbera daisies are whimsical, while pink heliconia are exotic. Pink roses are more traditional, and pink orchids are elegant. A pink bridal bouquet can be almost any shade as well, so the bride has a choice of shades running from blush to hot pink.
The wedding theme can help decide what kind of flowers and what shades of pink to choose. For a traditional wedding, where the dress is white or off-white, pale pink roses with baby’s breath or light pink orchids with stephanotis are tasteful because the white of the other flowers breaks up the pink of the heavier flowers. Hair decorations, dress details, and bouquet ribbons can also be pink to give a perfect balance to the color. Chances are, many other aspects of the wedding will be pink, including the invitations, the bridesmaid’s dresses, and the reception decorations. A pink bridal bouquet with some white flowers is usually a good compromise for a groom who does not want to be surrounded with this very feminine color all day long.
Since pink is usually a spring color, many brides who have outdoor ceremonies have a more casual pink bridal bouquet. Pink roses are the easiest flower to start with, which can be mixed with other white roses, white daisies, or white miniature calla lilies for a romantic look. Or, pink orchids can be mixed with snapdragon, petunias, and delphiniums to create a light-hearted pink bridal bouquet for a garden wedding. Even pink carnations and pink roses make a fun and interesting bouquet for someone on a budget. There are definitely an infinite amount of possibilities if you are looking for a pink bridal bouquet.
For many brides, however, pink is clearly a state of mind. In fact, there are some brides who cannot get enough pink in their wedding. In order to get the most mileage out of a pink bridal bouquet, the best way to go is with the Gerbera daisy. These daisies have substantial blooms and come in the most saturated colors of pink, including hot pink and fuchsia. If you want the most extremely pink bridal bouquet you can find, the best combination is pink roses and pink gerbera daisies. A matching frock completes the picture of what will truly be the most outrageous pink wedding on the planet.
Whether your pink-themed wedding is conservative or outrageous, a pink wedding bouquet has endless possibilities. Since most wedding flowers come in some shade of pink, it isn’t hard to find a flower that reflects your mood, or your budget. A pink bridal bouquet is also said to represent love, devotion and warmth. In any case, a pink bridal bouquet is a delightful floral accessory to carry down the aisle at a beautiful spring wedding.

No bridal bouquet would be complete without a touch of greenery, but why not try something different for your wedding and go for a completely green bridal bouquet to create a look that is all natural and totally different from anything you may have seen before.
Every bride wants her wedding day to be unique in some way and even though the rest of the wedding may be traditional, you can afford to try something different with your bridal bouquet. Looking back at wedding photos is something that everyone enjoys, and when you look back and see a green bridal bouquet, you will be pleasantly surprised at how much this statement bouquet says about you.
For those that are environmentally friendly, a green bridal bouquet is a way in which they can express their views even on the most exuberant day of their life, and is almost metaphoric in statement. Of course the bouquet itself doesn’t have to be just green in colour and the odd burst of red or pink will add a little extra something to ensure that the look isn’t too dull in creation. A winter or Christmas wedding, for example, can be set off just perfectly with a green bridal bouquet and when you combine deep and rich green colours with another statement colour such as red, you get a traditional bridal bouquet with an extra twist, and these are perfect for cold weddings as it adds a warmer feel.
For those that like to take their environmentally friendly nature to other levels, it is becoming more and more common for brides to be holding bouquets consisting of fresh green herbs. Although this may not be to everyone’s taste, it sure is different and is guaranteed to have people talking! Why not try and use this idea within your green bridal bouquet and use herbs alongside other flowers to create a look that is completely unique and also a wonderful aroma to waft behind you as you glide towards your husband to be.
For another idea of a unique green bridal bouquet, why not reverse the usual pattern of bouquets and have both flowers and greenery but in consistencies that are reversed. Most people have greenery to provide a backdrop for their main wedding flowers, but if you wanted to create a completely different look, you could use pretty flowers of any colour to provide the backdrop for your greenery. Alternatively, if you didn’t want to stray too far from the traditional, you could always just incorporate more green into the main bridal bouquet, and this still makes for a more unique one, but containing just the right amount of traditional elements.
A green bridal bouquet can make the perfect addition to any wedding and can be made as much of a statement as you want it to make. Creativity is the key to any bridal bouquet and by making a statement piece that is your bridal bouquet; you can ensure that people will be staring at you for all of the right reasons!
