There are universal flower arrangements that look appropriate at any celebration and in the hands of girls of all types, ages or personalities. These include without hesitation a wedding bouquet of spray roses - at the same time romantic and strict, elegant in its simplicity and surprisingly touching. It is equally harmonious in an ensemble with a classic fluffy dress, buried in lace, and with a loose “half-gypsy” outfit of the incredibly popular boho style today.
Bush varieties of roses are combined with almost all plants used in wedding floristry. And they are not “averse” to any decor. Jewelry and decorations make such a bouquet classic, shells make it “sea,” and succulents added as a “partner” make it rustic.
Peculiarities
Shrub roses were bred not so long ago, only a century ago , but they have already become loved no less than their exquisite older sisters.
Their main difference is that there are several buds on one branch , and the plant itself resembles a bush. The flowers are much smaller, more delicate and neat than the fabulous, but rather strict garden flowers.
There are quite a few varieties of spray roses - with more rounded or curved petals, white, pink, cream, scarlet, even lilac. The stems most often have thorns, but they are easy to remove.
Important! When using a porta bouquet holder, in which the buds are placed on extremely short sections, the question of removing the thorns is completely removed.
Despite their natural appearance, miniature roses are not so easy to work with , especially if you want to get a free-form bouquet, the so-called ruffled one. Therefore, if you do not have solid experience in creating such compositions, it is better to contact a professional florist.
How to avoid a dangerous neighborhood
No matter how carefully the color scheme of the bouquet arrangement, its texture and shape are selected, all efforts will be reduced to zero if the plants quickly wither. To prolong the life of the “queen of flora”, you should not place it in the same vase:
- daffodils;
- hyacinths;
- carnations;
- mignonette;
- sweet pea;
- gillyflowers;
- lilies of the valley
All of these flowers emit toxins that are dangerous to roses and accelerate their withering. Daffodils and hyacinths also fill the water with mucus, which clogs the stem capillaries and prevents moisture or nutrients from reaching the buds.
It is better to avoid proximity to any bulbous plants other than lilies. They have a beneficial effect on the “flower queen”, and this process is mutual.
Noble roses are “quarrelsome.” They are capable of “poisoning the lives” of their neighbors in the bouquet, and in the literal sense of the word. Chrysanthemums, delphiniums, lilacs, and irises are especially affected. Hybrid tea varieties of dark and light shades are also not recommended to be placed in the same vase.
However, today, when multi-component arrangements of field, garden and exotic plants are in fashion, we have to “get around” the rules. For plants that secrete mucus or toxic sap, the stems are burned, the water in the vase is changed more often, and disinfecting and nutritional additives such as “Crizal” are added. A floral sponge (piaflor), which will prevent the stems from touching, will also protect against dangerous mutual influence.
Color spectrum
The shade of a wedding bouquet is no less important than its shape and constituent elements.
A rose, especially a bush rose, always speaks of love, but each specific color adds its own meanings:
- Thus, white buds mean innocence, purity and the beginning of a new family life;
- Brides often choose pastel shades, which, on the one hand, give a slight accent, and on the other hand, do not stand out from the overall romantic image. Pink spray roses look great, from very pale to rich. This shade symbolizes impossible tenderness and caring attitude towards each other;
- Red buds speak of the passion, emotionality and inner strength of the bride, and the mutual admiration of the newlyweds. This composition is considered classic, and at the same time it creates a bright, charming accent that must be repeated in another element of the image - lipstick, nail polish, shoes. This will create a complete picture and emphasize the ideal taste;
- Another delicate color scheme is a peach bouquet, which speaks of gratitude to each other for your meeting;
- Due to prejudice, yellow roses are rarely used in wedding arrangements, but modern florists consider such neglect to be wrong and endow sunny buds with a joyful meaning of well-being and optimism;
- The bright orange ensemble expresses bubbling energy and activity. This color scheme is perfect for a themed wedding;
- Green roses are a symbol of tranquility and fertility, and therefore they are often used by brides expecting a baby;
- Blue and light blue roses are also popular. There are no such shades in nature, but a professional florist can easily create for you a similar composition that expresses nobility and purity.
Dimensions
In order for the accessory to look perfect, it is necessary to take into account not only the theme of the celebration, but also the external characteristics of the bride. It’s good that spray roses are universal and look decent in any form:
- The larger the girl, the larger the bouquet should be;
- Very fragile young ladies should opt for miniature compositions , for example, tussie-mussie - several graceful flowers in a cone-shaped iron vase;
- The cascading shape of the bouquet is perfect for tall, stately brides - an inverted drop or a waterfall of greenery with miniature roses looking coquettishly;
- Short young ladies should take a closer look at the classic round shape with a leg.
Miniature buds also look great in non-standard shapes , for example:
- fan;
- sphere on satin ribbon;
- flower bracelet;
- A fantastic glamelia created from hundreds of individual petals.
Important! A freely assembled bouquet looks no worse with spray roses, but getting it due to the uneven stems is not so easy.
Another interesting solution is to play on the difference in size and create a composition of garden and bush roses. Plants that are the same in tone but different in size will create a sensation.

Wedding composition ideas
Shrub roses are self-sufficient and can create a charming composition on their own:
- mono bouquet in one color;
- with a gradient from darker buds in the center to lighter ones at the edges;
- contrasting two-color combinations of red and white, pink and yellow, green and orange.
Shrub roses are not very fond of vase neighbors, but this problem can be solved by wrapping the stems in special floral capsules - and then nothing will limit the choice.
Small elegant buds look great both with simple wildflowers - cornflowers, violets, bells, lavender, and with luxurious lilies, orchids, callas. The choice depends only on what kind of final picture you want to get.
With white and colored alstroemerias
Alstroemeria resembles a small graceful lily and has a huge palette of colors , including extremely exotic ones - with stripes or spots.
In a duet with spray roses, these flowers look captivating, perfectly emphasizing the elegant tenderness of their neighbor. And if you choose red roses and white alstroemeria, you will get a miniature version of the classic bouquet of garden roses and lilies, only much more romantic and innocent.
Monochrome combinations of these two plants also look great - white, pink, peach or lilac. If you want to make bright alstroemerias the main character, then it is better to choose white or cream roses.
With chrysanthemums and irises
Bright, exquisite irises and fluffy chrysanthemums will create a truly charming ensemble with spray roses. Various shades are possible, but remember that they try not to use more than three pure colors in a bouquet, so as not to create a feeling of chaos.
Advice! Chrysanthemums make both the soloist of the composition and create a more equal ensemble, best of all - in a natural free form.
Most irises already have two tones - yellow and blue or purple, so you can only add one color. However, there are also completely white irises. In this case, they create a monochrome composition and play on the difference in textures. Bouquets of pastel shades are good - pink, lilac, peach.
From eustoma, garden rose and freesia
Resembling a rose, but more lush and homely, eustoma looks interesting even in a duet with bush roses, making them more elegant and graceful.
If you decorate such a bouquet with large garden buds and delicate freesia petals, the overall picture will turn out to be truly luxurious.
A monochrome of these plants, immersed in greenery, looks good - white, cream or pink. Bright colors are also acceptable, in which case it is advisable to play with bicolor plants. For example, eustoma and freesia often have a rather bright edging, and the rose should be chosen to match the non-primary color .
It is not forbidden to take two-color roses, both garden and bush , but in this case it is important to maintain the uniformity of the rest of the background so that the bouquet does not turn out to be too colorful.
From peonies
Lush large peonies will become the soloists of the composition, but charming miniature roses will only benefit from such proximity.
With the help of decor, they create either an absolutely vintage accessory - for example, a pink or powdery pomander, decorated with pearls, brooches and feathers, or a natural bouquet with ears of corn, dried flowers, and herbs.
An interesting combination of spray roses and peonies in a cold range of blue and lilac. Such an exquisite picture amazes with its dreaminess and charm. If you choose rich scarlet, orange or even burgundy tones, the composition will turn out to be passionate, sensual and at the same time tender.
The classic is a combination of white and pink flowers, and both roses and peonies can be a bright accent.
Successful combinations
Since roses are available all year round, let's look at what flowers they can be combined with in a certain season.
In summer
In summer there is the greatest variety of all kinds of flowers and plants. In the warmer months it will be good to add to roses:
Hydrangea and forget-me-nots
Bells and daisies
Peonies and lilies
Orchids and eustomas
During the hot season, bright and colorful bouquets are popular; orange, yellow, scarlet inflorescences with the addition of greenery are suitable.
in spring
This season it’s great to dilute roses with wildflowers, irises, and tulips, and in May lilacs will fit in well.
In spring, wedding compositions in delicate pastel colors, such as peach, cream, lilac, and pale yellow, are very popular.
Winter and autumn
In the cold season, callas, gerberas, carnations and chrysanthemums are appropriately combined with roses. Bouquets with this composition will not freeze and will retain their original appearance throughout the holiday.
In the winter months, you can use either light buds, for example, white, pale blue, pink, or, conversely, bright colors - blue, red, purple, fuchsia.
In autumn, burgundy, orange, brown, chocolate, mustard, and tangerine shades in a bouquet will be popular.
Matching the bride's style
Rose bushes are suitable for both very young girls and older women. The color is selected taking into account the overall design of the celebration, as well as your color type:
- For blondes, a pastel range of spray roses is well suited - peach, pink, cream, but it is better to refuse pure white or dilute it with another shade;
- hot brunettes can choose between snow-white and bright, contrasting options;
- Red-haired ladies have access to a wide palette , but they look best framed in orange, scarlet and green tones.
Advice! Don't mix warm and cold tones. This rarely looks appropriate.
We should also focus on white spray roses, as this option is extremely popular. To ensure the bouquet blends in with the dress, add fresh green leaves or choose slightly darker petals.
It is not recommended to perform such a trick in the opposite direction - a darker shade of the dress - ivory or ivory - looks untidy in a duet with snow-white roses.
If you use bright shades of purple, blue or red, then they should be repeated in some other element of the image - a hairpin, shoes, a dress belt, otherwise the bouquet risks looking too flashy.
Decor
When choosing a bouquet design, be sure to focus on the theme of the wedding , because what looks harmonious and cute in one style will be perceived as alien in another.
A vintage or retro celebration implies an abundance of various details. The bouquet is decorated with a skirt made of tulle or lace, feathers, rhinestones, and pieces of fur. Pendants in the form of a birdcage, a mask, hearts, keys and locks look very good. The flowers themselves can be decorated with rhinestones or pearls of a contrasting color, mesh, artificial birds or butterflies.
If the outfit or accessories have some bright accent, for example, beads or a lace pattern, then a great idea is to repeat it in the design of the bouquet, for example, by decorating the leg accordingly.
When decorating a bouquet for a celebration in natural styles - rustic, country, eco-wedding - pay attention to craft paper, ordinary twine and even untreated linen.
Art Nouveau and steampunk allow the use of unusual elements for decoration - abstract sculptures made of plastic, wood and metal, newspapers, wires, gears and microcircuits.
An ordinary satin ribbon intercepting succulent stems is a classic, but no less captivating option.
Selection rules
Charming plants are quite capricious. They are difficult to give the required shape, so if you do not have much experience in composing such compositions, it is better to contact a professional florist. This is especially true for complex non-standard bouquet shapes and the use of an abundance of shades.
Here are some more useful tips:
- Shrub roses have a rather spicy scent , so be sure to check in advance to see if you are allergic to it. If necessary, ask to treat the buds with a special solution that will muffle the aroma;
- Young girls look great with buds just beginning to bloom , older women - with fully formed inflorescences;
- Take care of the convenience of the bouquet handle. It should not be too wide, short, slippery, scratchy, or with protruding thorns. Remember that you will have to carry the accessory in your hands all day, so it will be useful to think about your own comfort;
Important! Roses are available year-round, but still contact the salon in advance, at least a couple of weeks before the wedding, because the desired shade or variety may not be available.
- Flowers should be as fresh as possible and treated with a special composition that slows down fading. The wedding day is quite long, and the buds cannot do without help;
- Choose a bouquet when you have already completely decided on the dress, makeup, hairstyle and theme of the celebration , because even the most beautiful accessory loses its charm in an inappropriate setting.
