Can the bride's bouquet be burgundy and how best to choose flowers for it - read the article.
What do burgundy shades mean in a bridal bouquet?
The language of flowers speaks volumes. For example, burgundy shades in the bride’s bouquet speak of strong and reverent love. Burgundy flowers are often considered a sign of love at first sight.
Burgundy flowers are a symbol of the bride’s charm and magnetism.
In addition, burgundy color is the personification of luxurious life, elegance and intelligence.
Choosing a place for the celebration
Weddings are usually held in the city in a banquet hall. For a wedding in an eco or rustic style, the bouquet is too bright, but for a classic European wedding it is just right. Season: autumn, winter, early spring. Red berries will not spoil, but will only decorate the bride’s burgundy bouquet. The photo below is proof of this:
Bridesmaids can wear burgundy dresses in different shades. The backs of chairs, the wedding arch are decorated in the same colors, and the wedding procession is decorated with bright flowers. It is advisable to dilute the dark red color with softer shades - pale pink, cream, ivory, but best of all white. White is the most neutral color in the palette; it does not overload or excite guests, and guests may soon get tired of the abundance of red tones.
What kind of bride would suit a burgundy bouquet?
Burgundy bouquets look good at weddings held in the fall and winter. Burgundy color is a warm shade; it looks expressive both at the ceremony and in photographs.
Burgundy bouquets can be prepared for brides of different physical builds: a round bouquet is more suitable for petite girls, and a voluminous one is more suitable for tall girls.
The main rule to remember is that the more modest the bride’s dress, the more luxurious the bouquet should be . And vice versa, the more beautiful the outfit, the simpler the bouquet.
If the bride's dress has a classic cut, you can create a bouquet of lilies, tulips, roses, and gardenias in burgundy shades. If the dress has an unusual cut, then the flower arrangement is not made in a standard way. It is complemented with decorative elements and exotic plants.
It is important that the color of the bouquet contrasts with the color of the wedding dress , since if the color is similar, the bouquet will merge with the dress.

The composition of such compositions must follow certain rules. In particular, florists do not choose all flowers for arrangement, since some of them do not combine at all. There are several of the most popular options for wedding decorations of flower arrangements, from which the bride can build on, coming up with her own, original version.
Composition of burgundy roses
This is a classic that is revered by many brides. Thanks to the wide variety of shades, roses can be used to create a variety of designs. Rich burgundy-colored buds look beautiful in any variation. These shades differ in tone (darker, lighter and more delicate), so with their help you can create amazing attributes of the bride.
Still, florists recommend using more classic shades and avoiding dark ones. The latter symbolize fading or unrequited love, so they are inappropriate in wedding decorations.
Such roses with snow-white or green buds look very beautiful. This will make the composition more beautiful and interesting.
Options with lilies
If you want to get an original Marsala wedding bouquet, lilies are a great option. An incredible aroma and beautiful appearance perfectly complement the image of a gentle girl. Since the lily is often found in many folk legends, it is considered one of the most important in the design of wedding ceremonies. Burgundy flowers speak of perfection and the complete power of a woman over her lover. They are perfect for romantic and gentle girls.
Wear-resistant plants look great even in winter. With their help, you can create long bouquets of different shapes, complementing them with buds in red, tiger or white shades.
Compositions with orchids
Delicate and romantic orchids evoke the most pleasant feelings. These plants symbolize family harmony, wisdom, passion and intimacy. To decorate wedding paraphernalia, you can use plain orchids or with petals of different colors. You can make mono compositions, as well as complement them with lilies, roses, hydrangea and alstroemeria.
Bouquets of callas
Lush and incredibly beautiful buds have become popular relatively recently. They are perfect for fragile and delicate girls who want to express their passionate love for the groom. When making a composition of calla lilies, you should leave their long stem and tie it with a decorative ribbon. The plants are combined with orchids and roses in different tones.
Before composing compositions, you should study the options for combining shades and how to use them correctly:
- Burgundy tones look good with white plants. You can also match them with flowers of a different shade, which will make the composition delicate and harmonious.
- You can choose milky and pastel shades, which will make the image more feminine.
- The entire sand and yellow palette goes well with wine buds. For example, you can use eustomas, ranunculuses, and chrysanthemums.
- Lilac and violet tones are also suitable, which make the composition more sophisticated. Irises can add extravagance to a composition.
- Rich burgundy is complemented with blue plants, which can be steppe flowers or hydrangeas.
- A good combination is also with a brown color scheme, which looks very unusual and interesting.
It should be borne in mind that cherry tones are suitable for both mono-bouquets and for decorations using several plants. Greenery, cinnamon sticks, and lace complete this product. In addition, the bouquet can be given different shapes: drop, oblong, disheveled or spiral.
How to make a wedding bouquet from rose petals
Some brides are so sensitive about the upcoming celebration that they want to take everything into their own hands. The presence of step-by-step instructions with a detailed description of the stages of assembling the bouquet will be useful in this case. For the bouquet you will need:
- burgundy rose petals 150-200 pcs.;
- pink rose petals 50-100 pcs.;
- hot glue gun;
- toothpicks;
- porta bouquet holder;
- ready-made skirt for a portaquet with a latch;
- satin white ribbon;
- ruscus;
- gypsophila.
Step-by-step instructions with photos of the stages on how to make a wedding bouquet from burgundy rose petals:
Before starting assembly, let's prepare the rose petals. To do this, we tear off the lower hard edge of each petal where it was previously attached to the sepal. We cut it off by about 0.2-0.3 cm. Then, twist it into a tube. We wind the second petal on top. For this blank we take 2 or 3 petals. We select a smaller petal in the middle, and wind the larger one on top.
Glue the blank to the toothpick, fixing it inside the twisted petals.
We wrap the leg of the porta bouquet with ribbon. We fix the satin ribbon at the bottom using a glue gun. We wind the tape tightly diagonally. We fix it in several places with glue. This fixation will keep the tape in place and it will not roll down. Glue the upper edge of the tape to the bottom of the round part of the porta bouquet.
We attach blanks of burgundy and pink petals to a porta bouquet holder. You can add greens or gypsophila inflorescences.
We stick the blanks on toothpicks into dry piaflor so that the glue does not spread. We form a random pattern on a burgundy background with improvised pink buds.
We put gypsophila inflorescences on the bottom. Below it we add a row of greenery from ruscus leaves.
We put the finished skirt for the portaquet on the leg and snap it into place.
Decor
Florist designers pay special attention to decorating a wedding bouquet. A spectacular accessory requires a decent frame
The bride's bouquet of hydrangias is additionally decorated with:
- ribbons of different lengths and textures;
- a cover (corset) for the leg with beautiful embroidery with pearls or rhinestones;
- lace;
- beads, brooch or pendant, which are attached to the bouquet itself;
- a talisman made of a talisman stone.
For original and bold wedding decisions, non-standard decorations of wedding bouquets are used, for example, a rough cord, buttons or letters with the initials of the newlyweds. In combination with delicate hydrangeas, memorable, non-trivial flower arrangements are obtained.
