It is generally accepted that the most desirable flowers for a woman and the best expression of sincere feelings are red roses. But what if you try to move away from the recognized stereotype and look for a more interesting solution, because a bouquet can become not only a pleasant gift, but also an element of flower therapy that can change relationships...
“Flowers are the most charming creatures that God created, but forgot to put a soul into,” this statement belongs to Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887), an American religious figure, less famous than his famous sister, the writer Harriet Beecher Stowe. The words are only partly true, because flowers can have a significant impact on a person’s soul, helping to cope with bad moods and emotional experiences.
This property of flowers was noticed by the ancients. Indian Ayurveda to this day heals people not only with flower potions and aromas, but also with simple contemplation of flowers, wearing flower wreaths and garlands, and applications of flowers and their petals. Ancient Chinese healers used flowers to free the body from negative energy, attaching the greatest importance not to medicinal properties and aromas, but to color. They believed that the light waves emitted by one or another flower harmonize the functions of certain organs.
Modern science has not yet figured out how things stand with the treatment of specific diseases, but the influence of color on the emotional mood is beyond doubt. And in this matter it is better to rely on the knowledge of modern psychologists.
Depending on their temperament, people perceive living nature differently. Active, hot, balanced sanguine people are drawn to natural colors, preferring modest wildflowers or those that resemble them. Fast, passionate, unbalanced choleric people are more satisfied with the demonstrative display of bright, lush garden forms. Slow but collected phlegmatic people, stingy in showing emotions, find harmony in calm tones. And sad, sentimental and vulnerable melancholic people are drawn to the softness and lyricism of the pink and blue romantic palette.

Using the Luscher color test, it was determined that color preferences among citizens of our country of both sexes are in the following order: green, red, purple, blue, yellow. And although this sequence speaks of abstract flowers, it is clear that there are more fans of soft greenish pastel tones in a bouquet than red roses. Interestingly, in England they received a completely different order: blue, red, green, yellow, purple.
Colored wedding bouquet: features of composition
The bouquet can be monochrome or colored. To correctly compose a color composition, many factors should be taken into account, namely: the theme and style of the celebration, the color scheme of the design, the harmonious combination of colors of the bride’s bouquet and wedding dress. They also take into account the time of year and the girl’s color type. It is important to correctly choose the shape of the bouquet itself : sphere, drop, cascade. A spherical bouquet is almost universal; plump young ladies should prefer a crescent or cascade one.
The bouquet is drawn up after the image of the bride has been developed, the dress and hairstyle have been selected. It’s not bad if it matches the groom’s outfit.
Usually the emphasis is on one detail, but brightly. For example, the color of the groom’s tie or boutonniere is a rich, catchy color and the key flower of an identical color in the bride’s bouquet
Styles
As for the models themselves, designers advise not to limit yourself in anything. If you wish, you can make absolutely any dress in the color you want.
However, there are still those options that are best suited to a powdery shade:
- Lush with lots of petticoats or with rings is the perfect combination. Because the image turns out incredibly gentle. If you choose a bodice embroidered with rhinestones, you can surprise your guests with a sense of taste. Often such couturier outfits are made from complex lace fabric or guipure.
- Mermaid is the second most popular style. Its essence lies in the fact that it fits tightly to the figure, flaring down from the knee. As a rule, when sewing, many designers use two fabrics. The denser and more expensive one is considered the main one and goes to the knee line. For the lower part, tulle is used, which flows easily.
- Floor-length dresses with long sleeves - to show off all the beauty of color and fabric, it is better to choose long sleeves. It can be made of lace fabric, under which your hands will be visible.
It is generally accepted that powder is one of the luxurious and expensive colors. That is why the style must be appropriate.
The shade will be least combined with such outfits as:
- Sun skirt;
- 30s style;
- shortened in front;
- a-silhouette
Trendy compositions of bridal bouquets
The fashionable color of the bride's wedding bouquet in 2022 involves one bright accent and a laconic addition of contrasts, or a completely one-color composition. Also in trend are bouquets that use pastel colors of several similar shades.

Contrasting and sharp floral arrangements, in turn, have a special “zest” - they attract attention with their originality and boldness, symbolizing an innovative approach to the event , forming new colors and adding freshness and novelty to established traditions.
One of the fashionable traditions of the modern season is to complement bouquets with different “stuff”. These can be inserts other than flowers: dried flowers, berries, leaves , feathers and even cotton. The latter element is becoming increasingly popular, but its use requires certain skills. At the same time, this is an excellent attribute for decorating a bride’s bouquet in winter, either in eco or rustic styles.

Mixed colored bouquets of several radically different flowers are also an excellent choice of modern wedding attributes that complement the brides' outfit. But only if the dress is made in a minimalist style - plain, or with laconic small inserts similar to the composition of a bouquet of flowers. A colored bouquet does not imply a colorful dress for the bride - no additional embroidery , rhinestones or voluminous colored overlays. The exception is only one bright element in the key style. For example, a red belt and the predominant color of poppy in the bouquet. As for shapes, preference is given to “drops” and “spheres”.
Fan bouquets are fashionable, and for themed weddings in the “fairy tale” style, a bouquet with uneven edges and contrasting unusual color combinations will fit well into the theme format.
Accessories
They should be selected no less carefully than a wedding outfit. As you know, it is “the details that shape the image,” so even the most chic dress will look boring and not at all festive without the appropriate “cut.” Must-have wedding accessories:
- Veil. What style and length it will be depends on the characteristics of the chosen outfit. But the color of the veil should match the shade of the powder dress. You can consider other options for the bride's headdress, for example, a stylish hat with a veil. If you are planning a ceremony in a vintage or boho style, you should choose a floral wreath. It is not recommended to choose brightly colored plants; soft tones, similar to powdery creamy shades, should be in harmony.
- Shoes. Style orientation – maximum proximity to the classics. These can be pumps or more modern variations - open-toe shoes, decorated with a bow or floral motifs. The color matches the tone of the wedding attire. In this case, stylists recommend choosing shoes, gloves and cuffs, and choosing the bride’s garter to match the dress.
- Decorations. There shouldn't be many of them. The priority is neat, plain products, be it a tiara, pendant, comb, earrings. Gold jewelry, thin pearl threads around the neck, and fashionable women's multi-layer bracelets are elegantly combined with the color of powder.
- Flowers. A bouquet for a powder dress should not be too flashy or contrasting. A composition collected from roses and peony inflorescences will become delicate and sophisticated. It should be decorated with greenery in muted tones or a string of pearls, and the stem of the bouquet can be decorated with a satin powder ribbon or delicate lace.
Hair and makeup are also important for a bride's look. They should be as gentle and sophisticated as possible, and in no case flashy or flashy. Make-up should be dominated by smooth lines and pastel colors.

Bad superstitions
Special attention is paid to the image of the bride on her wedding day. According to superstitions, a girl is in particular danger when she leaves her home and is deprived of the protection of her family patrons, and does not yet enter a new family. In this regard, the bride, if she believes in omens, is recommended to study those that are associated with her wedding dress, so as not to worry about possible failures later.
According to the signs, wearing pearls at a wedding promises a girl frequent tears in her marriage. Popular wisdom says that the family will be unhappy, scandals and mutual reproaches will be frequent guests. The newlyweds' hopes for their union will remain empty illusions; no one will be able to make the relationship happy and prosperous. All this can come to the point that the couple simply decides to divorce, so as not to torment either themselves or their failed other half.
It is also undesirable to give wedding gifts decorated with this material. Guests also need to pay close attention to signs so as not to give a gift that turns out to be inappropriate. It is believed that if someone gives a newlyweds a product with natural pearls, then there will also be a lot of tears, quarrels and troubles in their married life.
However, if the bride and groom give at least a symbolic ransom for such a gift - any small coin - then the effect of the sign is canceled.
Such superstitions must be treated with an understanding of how they originated. The word “sign” itself contains the answer to this question - people observed what was happening in different families, noticed patterns and turned them into beliefs.
Some brides who wore pearls to their wedding actually ended up unhappy in their marriage, while others lived long and prosperous lives with their spouse. Many people believe that omens come true only for those who firmly believe in them.
Important! The bad omen about pearls for a wedding does not apply to artificial pearls - they can be worn to a wedding in any quantity.
