You can add individuality and brightness to your wedding bouquet by adding red shades to it.
However, in addition to color, the bouquet can have different shapes, types of plants and colors. It has long been believed that the color red is a symbol of passion and fire. He can characterize the bride as an ardent and bright nature. The red color in Orthodox culture symbolizes the blood of Christ, so the bride can also have a bouquet of red flowers at the wedding ceremony.
In India and Asia, the color red is very common: newlyweds wear wedding dresses in red tones, representing health, success and fertility in the future marriage. In the east, scarlet color means cheerfulness, activity and energy.
Symbol of love and life
If white flowers have been associated with virgin purity since time immemorial, then scarlet flowers expressed sensuality and passion. The symbol of purity was the lily. In contrast, red roses or poppies stood out, expressing true love and pleasure. In the East, a bride's red wedding bouquet of carnations signified her beloved's obsession. Declaration of love is also indicated by other red flowers - tulip, chrysanthemum, mallow. Interestingly, the white and red rose symbolizes unity of interests.
Interesting! Floriography (the language of flowers) was secret in the Middle Ages. This knowledge could not be discussed openly. Language was used to anonymously express feelings.
Red color is a sign of royal luxury, gives self-confidence, and promotes activity. Women in red dresses attract the eye. A bride with a wedding bouquet in red looks harmonious in a wedding dress of any shade. A well-composed composition goes perfectly with a dress in white, red, and beige tones.
The size depends on the amount of trim on the wedding dress. The more details there are, the more modest the accessory should be. For simple dresses in a minimalist style, voluminous floral decorations are suitable.

What does the color red symbolize?
The color red symbolizes beauty, love and passion. In Russian it means “beautiful”, which is why they said “beautiful maiden” in Rus'. This color was considered feminine. There is a belief that it protects against the evil eye.
In Eastern culture, Yang represents the male energy. In Africa, this color was worn by leaders, in Europe - by cardinals. In India and Southeast Asia, it is traditional for the bride's dress.
Red is the color of love, it’s the hearts on Valentine’s cards and red light streets. Awakens passion, puts you in an erotic mood. In Japan, there is a myth about an invisible red thread that connects two people created for each other; this thread never breaks and will definitely bring these people together.
Monobouquet or composition?
Many women still prefer roses to all other flowers. To prevent the composition of roses from looking banal, it is decorated with small floral umbrellas, for example, white fragrant stephanotis. Roses are quite capable of replacing peonies or tulips.
Monobouquets benefit from their shape. Chic cascading accessories falling to the hem of the dress attract the eye with their composition. Moreover, to compose them, flowers of one type are enough. Compositions in the shape of a heart, crescent or fan also look eloquent. A muff bouquet will keep your hands warm during a winter ceremony. And flower bracelets, popular in the wedding industry, look original and allow you to free your hands.

Carnations are a rare success, as they are associated more with Victory Day than with a wedding day. However, an experienced florist can work wonders with these flowers.
For a classic wedding, you can choose a white dress and a flowing bridal bouquet in red. And for the bridesmaids - red straight dresses and give each one white flowers for a photo shoot in contrasts.
If the bride likes a combination of shades, the choice may fall on a bridal bouquet in red and white or a combination of white and blue and white and pink shades.

Which brides is it suitable for?
Roses are unique and at the same time universal flowers. They will suit a bride of any size and a wedding dress of any style. If we talk about what kind of bride the “queen of flowers” is suitable for, it is more correct to consider the features of the finished flower arrangement.
One of the most popular shapes of a bouquet with roses for a wedding is considered to be round. Flowers here are arranged in a spiral, thanks to which it is possible to obtain a flower circle on a small handle-stem.
Tall and slender young ladies are recommended to choose bouquets with long stems or cascading compositions. Such bouquets are ideal in combination with straight-cut dresses, “fishy” dresses, that is, dresses without unnecessary pomp.
The more complex and lush the dress, the simpler and more laconic the bouquet should be. For outfits with trains or a long veil that goes down to the floor, cascading compositions are not suitable
A cascading bouquet and train will double the attention of guests, concealing each other’s beauty. As a result, neither the train nor the flowers of the original shape will receive the portion of admiration due to them
Cascading bouquets, “rod” compositions and flowers on long stems are also “contraindicated” for petite brides. They will look too big in the hands of short girls, further contributing to a visual reduction in height.
Lovers of practicality and original solutions can choose bouquets in the form of a bracelet or clutch. The first one is worn on the wrist and is good for summer weddings. The second one is made in the form of a muff and looks most organically in winter celebrations. Both options leave your hands free, but throwing such a composition (if provided for in the celebration scenario) is not entirely convenient.
Harmony with white
A bouquet of several shades can be combined with the outfit of the bride or both newlyweds. The most familiar combination to the eye is a wedding bouquet in red and white. White color is neutral. It matches any shade and will not ruin any bouquet. Among the white and red compositions, the following look advantageous:
- red roses and white callas;
- red and white gerberas;
- dahlias in burgundy, red and white tones with any small flowers;
- red tulips and white daffodils;
- gladioli of both shades.
Attention! Gerberas are successful in any color combination. You can put together a bouquet of red, orange, yellow, pink gerberas - and it will look harmonious and not overshadow the newlyweds’ outfit.
For a wedding in a vintage style, the bouquet can be complemented with beads, glass beads, and pendants. For a wedding in an ethnic style, it is better to choose wild or country flowers, decorating them with spikelets and branches with berries.

How to complement a wedding bouquet
Since the white-red combination is already very bright in itself, the main point of decorative additional elements is to slightly mute the image and add tender and sensual moments .
Be careful and try not to overdo it with jewelry, as you may end up with a complex combination that will distract from the main image of the bride.
The following decorative elements in a white and red bouquet are especially popular:
- pearl;
- satin ribbons;
- rhinestones;
- chains;
- green petals.
If you want to make the flower arrangement more natural and natural, you should add green plants. Try to choose the most saturated tone.
Despite the fact that red is considered a controversial color, it is ideal for a wide range of dresses. This applies not only to styles, but also to colors.
