The peculiarity of a bouquet of white roses is its versatility and laconicism. These are the only flowers that look harmonious in monochrome compositions and practically do not require framing with decor and floral inclusions.

White color is the leading shade in the wedding palette. It will appeal to everyone who honors traditions and is committed to the classics in the design of a wedding event. White roses are suitable for self-confident girls who strive to independently achieve heights in life. But flowers will also appeal to romantic, delicate natures who want to find reliable support and protection in their companion.

How to choose a bridal bouquet of roses
Without a bouquet, no matter how elegant the wedding dress is, it will seem unfinished. It must be consistent with the main style and color scheme of the celebration, and also be in harmony with the boutonniere on the groom’s suit.
You shouldn’t skimp on it; it’s best to seek help from professional florists who will create a unique composition especially for you.
What recommendations are there when choosing a wedding composition? Let's try to figure it out. First, you need to understand that the wedding bouquet must be made up of the freshest and strongest flowers, because throughout the whole day it will be in the hands of the bride, and at the end of the day, according to the good old tradition, it will go to one of the unmarried bridesmaids.

Therefore, it should be able to withstand the whole day and maintain a fresh appearance until it goes to a new owner.
The most popular at the moment are wedding bouquets made from roses. Roses are universal flowers with a large color palette, a huge number of subspecies, and, in addition, they look great in combination with other flowers and decorative elements.
In other words, roses provide florists and customers with a huge choice, which, of course, is good news.

Roses are stunning flowers; they can look either luxurious and rich, or sweet, innocent, and modest. The solid stem and the bud firmly sitting on it allow this flower to be used in various, even the most non-standard, compositions.

Wedding bouquets of roses of different colors
White roses are the most common participants in young people's weddings. White color is a symbol of purity, innocence, sincerity.
Of course, it is ideal for a wedding ceremony, symbolizing the beginning of a new, bright relationship.
However, more and more often, newlyweds are choosing brighter colors to decorate their wedding composition. Red roses win over white roses for several reasons.
Firstly, they are more durable. And until the very end, the celebrations will look as if they had just been cut from a bush.
White roses, of course, will not wither, but they may darken and crumble in places. By the way, cream roses can be a good alternative to white roses - they are just as delicate, but much more durable.
The second reason why newlyweds are increasingly choosing scarlet roses is their symbolic meaning. Red is the color of love, passion, fire. All newlyweds are burning with these feelings and want to keep them for life. And wedding signs indicate that red roses will help to do this.
In order to avoid unpleasant situations and ensure that the bouquet pleases you throughout the day, it is recommended to use a porta bouquet holder. A porta bouquet holder is a kind of structure with an oasis in which the base of the composition is placed. Thanks to this technique, it can withstand even the hottest summer day.
Roses go well with other flowers. Lilies are considered ideal neighbors. Roses and lilies complement each other perfectly and also give those around them a stunning aroma.
For these flowers, delicate shades are usually chosen: pink, beige, white, lilac, light yellow lilies go well with roses. Interestingly, blondes are more suited to warm tones, while brunettes are better off opting for cool tones.

An interesting combination is a composition of roses and orchids. When composing just such compositions, florists use different colors of roses and orchids. Some flowers symbolize the bride, others symbolize the groom. This emphasizes the idea of two people uniting.
Bright colors for wedding compositions are usually chosen by middle-aged couples who have a strong character and are quite emotional. Bright shades look great in balloon bouquets.
This unusual composition adds individuality to the wedding and is suitable for people with extravagant taste.
Pink flowers symbolize youth and are usually chosen by young couples. The bride looks fragile and tender. The dress can be of any shade, just like the groom's suit - pink flowers go perfectly with any outfit.
However, pink flowers are usually matched with light suits and pure white dresses. Pink color is pure, light, indicating that the relationship between the newlyweds will be the same.
Many couples are wary of blue and yellow shades for weddings. But, despite all the signs and superstitions, these are very bright, deep colors that can refresh the usual idea of a wedding and make it truly unique.

These colors are perfect for themed weddings, which have become increasingly popular lately. So you can safely use all sorts of shades of these colors when choosing a wedding composition.
Wedding bouquet of artificial roses
Roses are classic flowers for a wedding bouquet, but you should not neglect them when decorating a banquet hall or any other place for a celebration. As a result, you will receive not only a stylish design, but also a divine fragrance throughout the entire wedding celebration.
What does it symbolize
The bearer of basic symbolism in the image of the bride is the color of the bouquet. The language of flowers has not been canceled, because without words it is able to talk about feelings, emphasize individual features of the image and the importance of the event. It is impossible not to love tender and charming roses, because they are a symbol of eternal love that can overcome any obstacles. A rose as the basis of a bouquet should be chosen by those who want to emphasize luxury and nobility, good taste and restraint. Important! To create a bouquet, not only full-size large flowers are suitable, but also varieties of roses with miniature flowers, and even unopened buds.
A white bouquet is like a cloud - airy and weightless, it carries the most sublime emotions and bright feelings. The bride's bouquet, collected from white roses, personifies the devotion and purity of the young couple, the youth and purity of the future wife. This symbolism is not accidental - according to legend, Archangel Gabriel wove a wreath from white roses for the Virgin Mary, who personifies chastity, perfection and mercy. And the church to this day allows brides to attend weddings exclusively with a white bouquet in their hands.
Combination with dress and hairstyle
When choosing a bouquet, you should pay attention to combinatorics - the flowers should be in harmony with the general concept of the bride’s image. Some stylists recommend paying attention to the smell of roses. It should not be intense, but sound in unison with women's perfume, creating a multifaceted aromatic flair around the newlywed.
The main rule in choosing flowers is that the more decor there is in a girl’s outfit, the more modest the wedding bouquet should be. A minimalistic monochromatic option is suitable for a dress rich in decor - decorated with rhinestones, stones, embroidery and lace. The versatility of white roses allows us to recommend them for dresses in almost any style - a long floor-length dress, a short cocktail dress, a tight bodice with a fluffy skirt, a strict straight-cut dress, an empire style dress.
To prevent the white bouquet from blending in with your clothes, you can use green splashes between the flower cups. They will add naturalness to the composition and “dilute” the palette. For the same purpose, a scarlet satin ribbon is used, which can be used to tighten the base of the bouquet, making it more stylish and elegant.
An interesting option is a combination of a bouquet in white colors and a bright bride’s dress. Whiteness will successfully contrast with an outfit of pink, green, bright red, yellow shades.
White roses look especially touching in the image of a blonde bride or the owner of light brown hair. The flowers included in the bouquet can be used to decorate the newlywed's hairstyle - they are woven into a braid, decorated with lush updos or delicate loose curls.
Important! When composing the composition, do not forget about the boutonniere for the groom - it should be in harmony with the bouquet.
Shrub roses for a wedding bouquet
Classic large roses are, of course, elegant and beautiful, but what could be sweeter than a stylish wedding arrangement made up of spray roses? Such compositions always look more elegant and sophisticated, perhaps because they are not used so often.
But wedding fashion does not stand still and every bride dreams of making her wedding special, so many girls end up choosing just this type of rose.
As for the composition, the most stylish looking bouquet is a ball bouquet made from rose buds. But, of course, the florist can offer other variations; the choice still remains with the newlyweds.
Compositions made from spray roses, just like classic ones, can be decorated with other varieties of flowers and plant elements. But it is worth noting that since these roses are much smaller in size, the other flowers in the composition should not be large.
Shrub roses are great for romantic people who decorate their wedding in a fairytale, medieval or rustic style.
Interestingly, the shape of the bouquet depends on the bride’s build. For petite, thin girls, it is recommended to choose small, elegant compositions or in the shape of a ball, but for tall girls, models with long stems of flowers are more suitable.
To prevent such compositions from looking sloppy, florists can decorate them with ribbons, lace or any other decorative elements that suit the style.
Since spray roses are, by definition, delicate and romantic, it is worth choosing the appropriate colors. You'll have to give up bright, bold colors and pay attention to pastel colors: beige, cream, pink. Only such shades in bush roses will add harmony to your image.
Options for wedding bouquets with white roses
In addition to the classic round bouquet, white roses are suitable for extraordinary floral solutions:
- with lace and strings of pearls;
- with leaves and organza;
- hanging cascading;
- spherical mini-bouquet without leaves, decorated with rhinestones;
- composition in the form of a fan, with small decorative beads, ribbons and greenery;
- a boutonniere on the wrist of 3-5 buds, which is worn on the hand;
- composition decorated with paired accessories - angels, hearts, doves.
Important! A round bouquet is considered the most harmonious, promising regularity and tranquility in the future life of the newlyweds.
What can you combine with?
To add variety to the classic version, you can dilute the composition with other plants that go well with the “queen of flowers”.
- Irises. A bouquet of white roses with bright blue irises will look original and impressive; they will add freshness to the image. If you want to add warmth to your wedding dress, you can choose orange or yellow inflorescences, and purple and violet buds will create a romantic atmosphere.
- Hydrangea. The long flowering period allows the plant to be used from spring to late autumn. Miniature modest flowers will not stand out from the overall tone of the bouquet, but will only emphasize its beauty. Thanks to the variety of shades of hydrangea, every bride will be able to choose a color solution for herself.
- Chrysanthemums. Many people underestimate this flower because of its apparent simplicity. However, it is the chrysanthemum that can emphasize the beauty and grace of boiling white roses. Large roses and small spherical chrysanthemums will look organic.
- Phalaenopsis. A tandem of white roses and phalaenopsis of the same color will help create a graceful and majestic bouquet. Flowers in light blue, soft pink, and pale yellow shades are also suitable.
Important! It is not recommended to use ferns and palm leaves in bouquets; they do not harmonize with the atmosphere of two loving hearts.
What are the rules when creating wedding bouquets of roses?
- The most important thing when choosing colors is not to choose flowers of the same color as the wedding dress. The bouquet should not merge with the dress; it, as a kind of accessory, should be the highlight of the outfit and attract the attention of others. In other words, if the dress is white, then it is better to choose a composition in a contrasting color or make it up from flowers of several shades.
- It is worth noting that you need to be careful when choosing white roses. If the dress is cream or a similar color, then it risks looking dirty against the background of flowers. Be careful!
- When designing a composition, you can use decorative elements similar to elements of your clothing, accessories, and interior.
- Regarding the dress, it is better to make the floral arrangement contrasting, that is, if the dress is narrow or modestly cut, then it can be ordered more voluminously, and if the dress is voluminous and airy, then it should be simpler.
- It is not recommended to combine more than three varieties in a bridal bouquet of roses, which cannot be said about other varieties of flowers and ornamental plants. The main thing is that it does not look ridiculous and is subordinate to the overall wedding style. But everything needs moderation. You need to be able to find a middle ground, make a composition such that it does not overshadow the bride’s dress and at the same time does not get lost against its background.
Of course, if it is difficult to solve this problem on your own, then you can always turn to florists and stylists for help, who will be happy to help you understand all the intricacies of flowers.
Forms of wedding bouquets
The most common type is the classic rounded model. It turns out this way due to short stems and lush buds. A miniature, neat model will look great in the hands of a short bride. They are quite simple to make and strong to use.
An unusual shape that is gaining popularity is the ball shape. For such compositions, a frame is made to which small flower buds are attached.
Yes, such compositions are not very common yet, but they are very convenient: you can attach them with a special bracelet to your wrist and not worry about accidentally losing them somewhere.
The cascade shape is usually chosen by tall girls. It consists of flowers of different lengths and is decorated with a large number of ribbons. This shape looks very sophisticated and is suitable for a classic wedding.
A bouquet-handbag or basket is rare, but looks quite impressive. From the name it is clear that this is a basket or handbag decorated with flowers.
This shape is not suitable for a traditional wedding, but rather for a themed one, and will also look best with a short wedding dress on a girl of average height.
In fact, there are many more different forms of wedding compositions; here are the most successful options. But undoubtedly, the choice of each bride is individual and it will be special in its own way.
