The bride's bouquet is a symbol of every wedding ceremony, which adds solemnity and tenderness at the same time. When choosing a flower arrangement, the bride pays special attention to both the shape and color of the bouquet. The most popular color is pink. It is the pink bouquet that emphasizes the femininity and beauty of every bride. The variety of the palette allows you to assemble both the brightest and the most delicate accessory for the bride’s image.
What does the color mean?
Esotericists consider pink to be the color of the heart chakra.
This is where deep feelings arise. Psychologists say that it puts you in a calm mood and helps calm even those who often experience aggression. This shade is preferred by vulnerable girls who love exquisite things. A wedding bouquet in pink tones will suit romantic, gentle, dreamy brides. This shade will harmonize with any look.
Advice! It is advisable to choose pastel shades of pink, because they will ideally refresh a lovely outfit.
Pale pink suits young future wives, but older brides should choose a darker shade. There are many options, since florist salons offer different types of flowers with pink buds.
Original color combinations
The classic combination for a wedding bouquet is a tandem of white and pink or red and pink, diluted with greenery. A delicate peach-pink or rich burgundy-pink bouquet for a wedding is also chosen by many brides, depending on their own color type and the image they are creating. Thanks to the skills of modern florists, any white flowers can be painted in the most subtle and unexpected shades, and therefore the imagination when composing wedding flower arrangements is practically unlimited.
The combination of gray and pink may seem unusual - in fact, it is a very win-win, since neutral gray favorably highlights the tenderness and beauty of pink. Typically, decorative leaves of appropriate shades are used for a gray background, against which the magnificent pink flowers look especially advantageous. It is recommended to choose a gray-pink bouquet when the groom is wearing a gray suit, and the bride should complement her look with small pink and gray accessories: a brooch, a hairpin, a garter, decor on shoes, a manicure.

The trend in recent wedding seasons for ceremonies in pink is increasingly leaning towards original shades : instead of classic pink, smoky or dirty pink is used to decorate the wedding bouquet. Often such a composition is assembled from floral roses, to which specialists can give almost any shade, or lisianthus - lisianthus buds (another name is eustoma or Irish rose, which speaks for itself) are resistant to fading and are excellent for a wedding flower arrangement.

Mono-bouquets consisting of a single type of flower, or real complex masterpieces; roses and lilies, callas and delphiniums, snowdrops and hydrangeas; all sorts of options for the pink palette in combination with other colors. In any case, it is important that the wedding bouquet emphasizes the bride’s individuality , her taste and sense of style, is in harmony with her appearance and corresponds to the seasonality and theme of the wedding ceremony.
What flowers are used?
Many types of flowers have a pink tint. In one composition you can combine roses, hydrangeas, dahlias, anemones, peonies, tulips, lilies, callas. A mono-bouquet in one pink shade with original decor on the stem or petals also looks beautiful.
Roses
Rose arrangements are suitable for classic-style weddings. Peach and pink shades of buds allow you to create graceful and at the same time majestic ensembles. Fern leaves and glamelia are added to bouquets.
Roses go well with orchids, peonies, ranunculus, and in this case it is possible to obtain a textured composition.
Pink roses will help reveal the romantic nature of the newlywed, as they are the personification of tenderness. The bouquet can be any shape, but when choosing, take into account the bride’s build:
- Tall slender girls are suitable for wand bouquets and cascading compositions;
- Plus-size ladies should pay attention to bracelets, fans, Biedermeiers and round compositions;
- For girls with an average build, small baskets and structured bouquets are recommended.
Peonies
Pink peonies symbolize prosperity and wealth, so they fit perfectly into a wedding celebration. They are combined with sprigs of lavender, gypsophila, roses, ranunculus, or made into mono-compositions. As a rule, bouquets have a spherical or hemispherical shape. Pearls, brooches, rhinestones, and satin ribbons are chosen as decoration.
Hot pink peonies go well with:
- with snow-white roses;
- yellow freesias;
- mimosa;
- daffodils.
Greenery adds a touch of freshness to the composition.
A pink bouquet of peonies goes perfectly with a snow-white dress of any style. A combination of white and pink colors looks good. The result will be a rich and at the same time surprisingly delicate ensemble.
Tulips
These flowers are considered modest and simple, but they are the basis for creating laconic and incredibly stylish tulip compositions. By adding gypsophila sprigs to the plants, you can make the bouquet more vibrant. Light tulips are good in a duet with blue and black flowers. Such accents make the ensemble chic and elegant.
The traditional option is tulips in combination with callas , decorated with a string of pearls. The mono bouquet also looks stylish. It does not require additional decor. Perhaps a beautiful satin ribbon, the color of which is duplicated in the bride’s outfit.
Advice! The ball shape is ideal for these colors. The composition should not be too big.
With delicate bush roses, tulips look harmonious and elegant. Typically, this composition is suitable for summer or spring ensembles.
Lilies
Lily is associated with love and devotion, which is why it is often used in wedding bouquets. Pale pink buds will emphasize the sophistication and youth of the bride. Of these, cascading mono-bouquets are good, in which the flowers are arranged in a spiral.
The traditional shape of a hemisphere will be obtained if you add to the lilies:
- bells;
- jasmine;
- blue delphinium;
- gypsophila.
It is advisable to include the greenery of irises and asparagus in the composition of lilies.
Calla lilies
These flowers are associated with innocence, girlish beauty and tranquility. Most often, calla lilies painted in pink tones are used to create mono-bouquets. It is enough to tie the stems with a shiny ribbon decorated with pearls to create a complete picture.
If the bride wants to add other plants to the callas, it is better to choose hydrangeas, orchids, and roses. Callas are suitable for creating cascading ensembles and traditional bouquets on a stem. Arrangements made from calla lilies are suitable for tall girls dressed in long straight dresses.
Recommendations for choosing a composition
The color pink is full of variety, so it is suitable for both a romantic nature and a strong, confident girl. Therefore, this color is very popular when creating a bouquet.
First you need to decide on the shape of the bouquet. They are divided into:
- hemispherical,
- spherical,
- round, cascading,
- sickle-shaped
- glamelia,
- extended, etc.
The shape of the wedding decoration is chosen taking into account the figures and outfits of the newlyweds. For fragile brides in lush dresses, sphere and hemisphere bouquets are ideal. For thin girls wearing tight dresses, it is better to choose a bouquet in the shape of glamelia. It is better for a tall girl not to choose such a uniform as a skipper. Such a bouquet will draw her out even more visually. For tall brides in a full skirt, it is better to choose a cascading or crescent-shaped bouquet. Pregnant brides are also better off choosing a cascade or sickle.
Once you have decided on the shape of the flower arrangement, you can move on to selecting the flowers and decorative elements that will make it up. It would be best to make a pink wedding bouquet from those plants that the bride loves and that are combined with each other. In some cases, it is appropriate to use twigs with berries, leaves and other natural decorations.
When it’s time to choose the color of the bouquet, you need to take into account the bride’s light type. There are four of them - spring, summer, autumn and winter. Spring type is light peach or ivory skin. This type of girl has blond hair and blue or green eyes. For these brides, it is better to choose salmon pink color for creating a wedding composition. The summer type is based on pink or light olive skin. Usually with blond hair and not brightly colored eyes. Bouquets of delicate shades of pink are perfect for such brides. They will emphasize the tenderness and airiness of the girl. Autumn girls have golden skin, red hair and brown eyes. For such girls it is very difficult to choose a pink bouquet, since this color is not typical for them. A winter girl usually has light or dark skin, black or dark brown hair, eyes of rich shades; it is better for such a bride to choose bright pink flowers in cool shades for her bouquet.
Examples in soft pink tones
If you want to dilute the pink color with something, then you can combine the main plants with buds of a contrasting shade. This is especially appropriate if the bride's dress is pink. Additional details will not allow the bouquet to blend into the wedding dress.
Pink green
For weddings in the “Green” style, pink and green colors are suitable. She is a symbol of tenderness, freshness and youth. This bouquet will look gorgeous in photographs.
Note! Most often, such ensembles are made up of pink gerberas, which are combined with green plants. The bouquet is made in the form of a hemisphere. Another suitable shape is a basket.
Green gerberas look elegant. Pair them with pink flowers to create a fresh and vibrant arrangement, perfect for a summer wedding. Spray with glitter and rhinestones are used as decoration, which are attached to the petals.
Pink-blue
The combination of blue and pink will emphasize the youth of the newlywed. You can complement these shades with white, taking, for example, bush roses. Don’t forget about greenery, but there shouldn’t be a lot of it. Pink roses with blue delphinium look good.
The shape of the bouquet is different - cascade, ball, hemisphere. For a traditional fluffy dress, it is better to choose spherical bouquets, and for a narrow and long one, flowers falling like a waterfall.
White-pink
This is a particularly popular color palette for floral arrangements for brides. The combination of pink and white is optimal for classic painting.
You can create such an ensemble using roses. If desired, cotton, brunia, and gypsophila are added to them. Such combinations are suitable for winter compositions. In summer and spring, inclusions of freesia, eustoma, alstroemeria, and ranunculus will be appropriate.
Advice! Tall brides are suitable for bouquets in the shape of a cascade and a hemisphere, for fat ones - baskets and bracelets, for girls of normal build - balls.
To dilute the main range a little, green plants are added. Ribbons, lace, brooches, beads and rhinestones are suitable as decoration.
Pink-lilac
Soft pink roses go perfectly with asters painted in lilac tones. There is no need to consider asters a banal flower on September 1st. They allow you to create original compositions suitable for white dresses and wedding dresses with lilac inserts. If you tie your waist with a lilac belt and pick up a basket with lilac and pink flowers, you can create a unique look.
Lilac roses are easy to find in florist shops. If you combine them with pink buds and give the composition a ball shape, you will get an incredibly stylish ensemble that will attract everyone's attention. The stems are usually tied with two ribbons - pink and lilac.
Gray pink
Buds painted in gray tones are rare, so when making bouquets, white ones are added to pink flowers, and instead of green plants, silver or gray leaves are used.
The bouquet is made hemispherical or round, the stem is tied with a pink or silver ribbon. The choice of decor palette depends on what shade is missing in the composition. It is advisable for the bride to choose silver shoes and decorate her hair with a sparkling tiara to create a harmonious image.
Blue-pink
This combination is rare, so you will be able to get an exclusive and charming accessory. The composition symbolizes tenderness and constancy of feelings. The blue shade harmonizes with snow-white fluffy dresses, making them even more solemn.
Blue buds are associated with endless love. These can be lobelias, violets, petunias, cornflowers, bells, irises, hyacinths. They are combined with pink tulips and roses. You can add some white spray roses.
Bouquets in this range are made round, hemispherical, arc-shaped, crescent-shaped. Baskets filled with alternating pink and blue buds look charming. You can place pink flowers in the middle of the composition, and place blue ones at the edges.
Rose red
Pink hyacinths or freesias go well with red tulips. You must add greens to them. You can alternate plants of different tones or place pink flowers in the center, surrounding them with red ones. In any case, the composition looks impressive.
Interesting! Freesia is a symbol of luxury and aristocracy. The pink color makes this fragile flower especially delicate and sophisticated. A bride who chooses a bouquet with freesias is confident in the sincerity of her chosen one’s feelings.
As a rule, bouquets with stems are made from the listed flowers , tying the stems with pink and red ribbons, which are decorated with beads or rhinestones.

The color of the bouquet is selected taking into account the appearance of the bride, the order of the holiday and the clothes of the newlyweds. The palette should complement the overall picture of the wedding. For example, a bouquet with the correct shape without unnecessary decorations will suit a strict, floor-length dress.
The shape of the bouquet depends on the bride’s figure. Small girls will definitely look better with a small bouquet. And cascading bouquets will be ideal for tall brides. A chaotically assembled bouquet will be a universal floral decoration for any bride.
Flowers that bloom seasonally are very important. Thus, snowdrops, lilies of the valley and tulips will look great in spring. In the summer, peonies, freesia roses and ranunculus will look spectacular. In beautiful autumn, leaves and berries look very beautiful in a bouquet. And a winter bouquet would not be complete without dried flowers and cotton. In order for the composition to connect the bride and groom, it is necessary to make a boutonniere of the same composition as the bouquet.
Choice of shape and decorations
It is better to entrust the preparation of a floral composition to a professional. He will take into account the girl’s character, her height and build. It is advisable for short young ladies to choose a bouquet with round decorations , for example, a brooch and large beads. Cascading bouquets visually reduce height, so they are suitable only for tall and slender people.
It is difficult to choose the right composition for a trouser suit. For girls who do not want to wear a dress, we can recommend a glamelia bouquet. It is made up of individual petals.
Such an ensemble requires large, strong buds. Lilies, roses, and gladioli of the desired shade are suitable. To amaze your guests, you can order a bouquet-handbag. When creating it, pink roses and freesias are often used.
It has a handle, so it can be worn on the elbow and, if necessary, placed on the table. This is a convenient option, but such an ensemble is quite expensive. If the bride asks to make an original composition for her, florists often offer bouquets on a disk. These are designer products that look unusual. The disk is decorated with a fabric of a suitable color, decorated with beads, lace, rhinestones, greenery, after which selected flowers are added. It weighs little, so the bride can easily carry it in her hands all day long. For a photo shoot, such a bouquet is optimal, since the flowers do not become deformed if they need to be placed.
Bouquets in the form of a muff are rarely made - this is a truly exclusive option. It is ideal for winter celebrations as it can protect your hands from the cold. A fur muff is used as a base, which is decorated with selected buds, greenery, rhinestones and other decorations. If the wedding is planned for the summer, and you want to order a muff, it is easy to replace the fur with transparent chiffon or satin. Berries and small fruits are suitable for decoration. A loop is sewn onto the hem of the wedding dress, to which the bride can attach the composition if she needs to free her hands.
Many girls like ensembles in which flowers are arranged randomly, the so-called disheveled bouquet. The apparent randomness gives them an unusual appearance. They are suitable for any bride who values creativity.
As decorations for the composition, you can use openwork ribbons, snow-white lace, beads, green twigs, and ferns. To make the flowers look festive, the petals are treated with glitter spray. The rhinestones are very beautiful, reminiscent of tiny drops of dew. You can attach decorative ladybugs or butterflies to the buds.
Important! Don't overdo it with decor! There should not be too many auxiliary elements.
