A blue bridal bouquet is one of the most optimal options, which looks favorable in the hands of the bride in any situation. Flowers of this excellent shade are combined with different species, resulting in beautiful compositions.
They are perfect for celebrations that take place at different times of the year. The shades of such a bouquet are reminiscent of the endless sky, symbolizing eternity, fidelity and romance. At the same time, it will emphasize the tenderness and sophistication of the bride.
What kind of brides is it suitable for?
Blue is universal.
It perfectly sets off the fresh beauty of a very young girl and makes the image of an older woman sublime and mysterious. Blue bouquets seem to be created for a radiant spring and hot summer. They add a fresh accent that fits perfectly into the surrounding reality. But even in golden autumn or contrasting white winter, shades of blue look decent, reminiscent of airiness and romance.
As for the bride’s color type, here too a wide palette of blue tones will allow you to choose the right option for both a delicate blonde, a burning brunette or a bright red-haired young lady .
Interesting! Don’t think that blue goes only with pastel colors; bright colors suit it just as well.
Rich blue, carefree yellow, enchanting blue - all these options, despite the rather high contrast, look very elegant. Blue goes great with white. This composition looks incredibly fresh and solemn. Beige or pink will make the heavenly shade even more delicate, sublime, and romantic. If you want to add more mystery to your blue bouquet, then feel free to pair it with lilac.
Most often, a blue bouquet is present at themed non-standard celebrations , and indeed, such an accessory goes perfectly with a straight or Greek dress, high waist, and natural fabrics.
Boutonniere for the groom
This accessory is used not only to decorate the groom’s suit, but also to decorate the clothes of witnesses. The bouquet is attached to the top of a man's outfit (pocket, lapel), thus emphasizing the special status of the participants in the celebration. You can use a boutonniere to communicate a man’s status to others. For married guys, the bouquet is attached to the right, and for unmarried guys - to the left. Such decoration will help the groom look elegant, but less formal.

It is important to purchase the right boutonniere. The accessory must:
- match the girl’s image (same colors or same color scheme);
- complement the young bouquet (if there are decorative berries and herbs, a boutonniere can be created only from these components);
- match the image of the man himself (if he is wearing a blue suit, you should not buy the same boutonniere; you should look for bouquets and a neckpiece of the same color);
- be persistent (it is better to make an accessory from seasonal flowers that will not wither by the end of the holiday).
Compositions with flowers in heavenly colors
When choosing flowers, focus on your own image and wedding theme:
- For Provencal, rustic, eco-celebrations, field and garden plants are perfect - cornflowers, bells, irises, delphiniums, hydrangeas;
- A fairytale, exotic, fantastic wedding requires more elegant forms, so orchids, roses, lilies, callas are suitable;
- a vintage ceremony without large peonies, eustoma, and alstroemeria.
Don’t be afraid to add fresh greenery and a variety of sky-colored decor to the composition.
Orchids
These tropical flowers, despite their delicate appearance, have the necessary endurance, the main thing is to provide them with constant access to moisture. That is why porta bouquet is most often used in such compositions. A sponge with cool water, of course, makes the bouquet heavier, but your orchids will remain fresh and beautiful until the end of the evening.
There are many heavenly shades of this plant: from almost blue to very light. Flowers with a contrasting pink or blue center look piquant. An interesting solution is to add other plants exactly under this non-main shade.
Important! Most often, cascading bouquets are made from orchids.
If you add a yellow or peach tone to blue orchids, you will get a bouquet for a fairy-tale princess. For a gypsy wedding in boho style, blue orchids are combined with yellow alstroemerias into an asymmetrical lush composition and complement the look with the same hair wreath.
Pale blue hydrangeas
The inflorescences of this fabulous flower look airy and voluminous, which allows the shades of blue to play on them in all their glory.
In the language of flowers, this plant means modesty and honesty. If we talk about the more visible advantages of hydrangea, then first of all it is endurance and compatibility with any other gifts of flora, both field and exquisite. The flower does not tolerate drought very well , so as soon as possible, place the stems in a vase or use a porta bouquet.
Hydrangeas make incredibly fluffy luxurious pomanders - absolutely spherical bouquets without a handle, which are attached to a satin ribbon and worn on the wrist.
Among other unusual forms, brides are offered a fan or a basket - spherical inflorescences look great in such a frame. However, a classic round bouquet of hydrangeas will not leave anyone indifferent.
Delphiniums
Delphinium also presents lush inflorescences, but no longer round, but elongated. They are quite hardy, although they require moisture, and go well with any garden or cultivated plants.
Advice! Delphinium drinks water much better not even from a porta-bouquet, but from a moistened cotton swab inserted into a hollow stem. Ask the florist to make such special capsules, and the total weight of the bouquet will immediately decrease significantly.
Due to its shape, delphinium is usually not used in a round bouquet, but in a disheveled, asymmetrical composition, or “scepter” the flower will be able to show its best side.
Don’t forget to add more greenery, as well as very small or, on the contrary, large textured buds. This will make the overall picture more interesting and stylish.
The duet of blue delphinium and large disheveled peonies looks great. On the other hand, miniature lilac inflorescences or neat buds of cornflowers will make the main character just a more representative delphinium, and such an ensemble looks no worse. The combination with roses, preferably bush roses, in pastel light or yellow tones is also interesting.
White and blue roses
Rose is a flower of love and fidelity, the most popular option for wedding bouquets. The blue color is given to it artificially, but this does not in any way affect the beauty and freshness of the petals. This bouquet looks fantastic, gentle and very fresh.
Small spray roses, large textured buds or the delicate tousle of the David Austin variety are equally beautiful in heavenly tones.
A very elegant combination - blue and cream roses , and you can also choose different looking buds. This composition communicates tenderness, dreaminess, loyalty and readiness to protect each other.
According to signs, the thorns on the stems of a rose will cause possible quarrels, so they must be carefully cut off. This is also useful because otherwise you or your girlfriends catching the accessory risk getting hurt or tearing the fabric of the dress.
Roses are capricious plants, and therefore they cannot be placed in a vase with other flowers , otherwise the neighbors will be poisoned by special enzymes.
Bluebells and cornflowers
For a celebration in a natural theme close to nature, for example, rustic, Provence, country, a composition created from modest wildflowers is also perfect.
In this case, the shape of the bouquet is chosen free, with slight asymmetry. Other wild flowers - daisies, lavender, clover - will be an excellent addition to the picture.
Various greens, ears of wheat, still green or already bleached by the sun, dried flowers, cloudy cotton inflorescences - all this will turn a completely simple bouquet into a real work of art, without leaving the natural style.
A composition of wildflowers most often does not require decoration. Framed by exquisite jewelry and rhinestones, delicate buds look strange and alien. It is better to leave the native greens and tie the stems with regular twine. A single satin or lace ribbon in a heavenly tone is also acceptable in some cases - be guided by the overall design of the celebration.
Peonies
Lush, large flowers have long been loved by brides, displacing the royal trio of roses, lilies and orichids from the pedestal. And this is not at all surprising - peonies, despite their luxurious appearance, are inexpensive, grow in the middle zone, so they can be cut at your own dacha.
Slightly disheveled buds are great both at a natural, rustic celebration and at an elegant vintage wedding. It all depends on the frame of the flowers - an abundance of greenery, lace or a slender satin leg can give the composition both an extremely elegant and completely natural look.
Peonies blend well with other flowers without trying to evict them from the vase, so they are perfectly complemented by field, garden or exotic plants.
Idea! An extremely original composition is obtained by adding tropical protea of blue or, on the contrary, pale color to the blue fluffy inflorescences.
The classic combination is peonies and roses, but remember the capricious nature of the queen of flowers. After the celebration, the bouquet will have to be divided and the peonies placed in a separate vase.
Peonies do not tolerate frost and drought well , so they are rarely chosen for winter celebrations. At a summer wedding, the bouquet should be placed in water as quickly as possible for safety.
Harmonious bouquet: companion plants for roses
Roses are beautiful, varied and versatile. Bouquets of them can be given to everyone and for any occasion. They look elegant in mono compositions, alone, next to other flowers.
When arranging bouquets, roses will always dominate, so you need to be careful not to overload the composition with additional plants.
There is a rule that works flawlessly. If you combine three shades, then choose the following proportion: 60:30:10. That is, 60% is the main color, 30% is an additional color and 10% is an accent color.
Add to roses:
- greens (fern leaves, bergrass, robilini, bamboo);
- small inflorescences (gypsophila flowers, goldenrod, astrantia, lavender);
- flowers with small buds (eustoma, freesia, lily, orchid, soft tansy, small chamomile);
- lush inflorescences (viburnum, delphinium, trachelium).
White roses look very cute in combination with flowers of lilac and violet shades.

Wedding accessories and decor
Depending on the theme of the wedding, the design of the bouquet can be either incredibly luxurious, consisting of pearls, rhinestones, brooches, or absolutely simple and natural - twine or a simple ribbon, as if taken from the newlywed’s braid.
A leg dressed in a skirt made of tulle or lace looks good. This kind of decor is useful if you use a porta bouquet, floral wire or other auxiliary components that need to be hidden from prying eyes.
Dense petals, for example, of orchids, will perfectly withstand even glued rhinestones or pearls, but you cannot do this with lilies or peonies. The easiest way to add decor is ordinary wire wrapped in satin ribbon. You can give it any shape, hang various details, for example, a pendant in the shape of a birdcage, and carefully place it between the buds.
Winter's Tale
The whole color of blue is fully revealed in winter. White snow and a white bride's outfit harmoniously combine bridal bouquets in blue with some additions. To add winter notes to the composition, you can use certain decorative elements:
- Beads will greatly decorate any composition, and blue will be no exception. In addition to beads, you can use crystals, which look like sparkling pieces of ice when light hits the edges.
- Openwork lace will remind you of patterns on glass on a frosty winter day. They decorate the stem of a bouquet for convenience, since the green stems of plants can stain not only snow-white gloves, but also a wedding dress with juice. For the same purposes, satin ribbon is used to wrap plant stems.
- The addition of twigs coated with silver paint to the composition evokes an association with a coating of frost on a frosty winter morning.
- Sprigs of coniferous plants will give the bouquet a truly New Year's mood, in addition, the smell of pine needles will accompany the newlyweds all day, relieving fatigue and soothing headaches. If desired, you can include pine cones and Christmas tree decorations in your wedding ensemble.
Some recommendations will help add variety when creating a flower arrangement, but you need to remember a sense of proportion in such an important matter as creating a wedding floral ensemble.
Symbolism of color
Blue is a combination of sublime white and confident blue. The shade of the sky and lakes, it is usually interpreted as purity of intentions, nobility, hope for happiness.
In a wedding bouquet, blue at once speaks of the bride’s romance and dreaminess, but at the same time reminds that the feelings connecting a couple are not only passion, but something deeper and more sublime.
Interesting! Heavenly, eternal, Christian love is also associated with this color.
The blue bouquet is chosen by very devoted girls who are ready to show care and accept it from their spouse.
