Beige color for a wedding bouquet - what is it?
Often a bride, when using the term “beige,” means one of many shades of white, yellow and brown, and sometimes she herself does not know exactly what color she would like to see in her wedding decoration.
But there is a difference between shades of beige, and it is significant for an experienced florist. In order not to confuse the floral master, determine for yourself which tone best matches the wedding dress:
- cream;
- Ivory;
- champagne color;
- tea or coffee;
- pearl;
- creamy;
- light peach.
Of course, the list does not exhaust the wealth of colors in beige tones . Here are presented only the most popular shades available to florists.
When the desired tone is chosen, proceed to selecting suitable plants.
Examples of original wedding arrangements
At least three fashion trends are quite feasible in beige wedding bouquets. This:
- the use of dried flowers and in particular pampas grass - a favorite of recent seasons;
- creating minimalist arrangements in neutral colors that benefit from the interaction of different shapes and textures;
- choosing seasonal and local plants that are easy on the wedding budget, as opposed to expensive exotics.
Another trend - the use of a large amount of greenery, partially replacing the usual flowers, will be of interest to brides who would like to find a balance between traditions and new trends in world floristry. “Beige” goes well with all shades of foliage and grass - such “duets” look fresh and impressive. But these are not all the ways to diversify the wedding classics.
Oval bride's accessory
The arrangement uses two non-trivial solutions at once: an oval shape instead of the usual round “cap” and a nuanced combination of several colors, overall giving a delicate beige color scheme. It is light pink with coral undertones, ivory and creamy. Thanks to the play of shades, the arrangement looks picturesque and stylish, corresponding to all current trends, but at the same time, without shocking with too rich color.
You will need:
- peonies, English roses of the "Claire Astin" variety, double lisianthus, astilbe, serurria (brunia blushing bright), sprigs of eucalyptus "Baby Blue";
- pruning shears, anchor tape;
- silk ribbon in pink and peach colors.
Step-by-step instruction:
- The largest focal flower in the composition will be the peony. This is where we begin the assembly. However, since the bouquet should have, although not clearly expressed, but a recognizable “ruffled” shape, we first set the silhouette of the central part with the help of greenery - in this case, eucalyptus branches.
- Add peonies. We assemble in a spiral, at a “high point,” which is typical for classical-style wedding arrangements.
- Our task is to immediately highlight with colors the longitudinal axis, which will be longer than the transverse one. Then the floral accessory will take on the oval shape we need.
We create the base by alternating peonies and “springs”, as well as small eucalyptus branches. Having laid out the central row, we add side rows to it, lowering the flowers a little lower to immediately close the stems from prying eyes. You cannot make the “cap” too dense, otherwise there will be overstrain and the danger of breaking the stems at the slightest movement. From time to time we check whether the flowers stand freely, whether they can “breathe” or are too “squeezed” by their neighbors.
- Having adjusted, if necessary, the oval formed by large buds of roses and peonies, we fix the stems with anchor tape so that the shape is not lost in the future. At this stage, it is important not to tighten the technical tape so that it does not interfere with further work.
Now you can add more delicate and fragile filler plants to the composition, distributing them between the focal buds. The first one we use is lisianthus in a coral shade. We fill the visible voids with it.
- Next in line is astilbe. This decorative perennial became popular thanks to Meghan Markle, who included it in her wedding bouquet. Astilbe has a thin stem, so it must be inserted between other plants with great care.
- We place vertical panicle inflorescences above the bouquet base, giving the composition dynamics and airiness. We extend the main axis with the most magnificent astilbe branches to emphasize the oval shape.
- The last one we use is Serraria. Its unusual flowers, reminiscent of graceful cones, have a beautiful shade of baked milk with a pinkish gradient. Serraria will act in the unusual “role” of greenery, like a cuff, covering the lower part of the bouquet and giving it completeness.
- Now the stems in the area of the decorative tape will not be visible.
- Another light touch, in the truest sense of the word, is feather grass twigs. Almost weightless, but dynamic, they will reconcile the classic image of a bouquet with the fashion for natural “dishevelment”. We disassemble the inflorescences into spikelets, which are then glued together into a bundle. We insert the feather grass opposite the astilbe, creating a semblance of symmetry.
- All that remains is to fasten the stems once again with anchor tape, now tightening them tightly so that they do not fall apart. You should not lower the technical tape down the stem of the bouquet - if the assembly point is high, the flowers may break. The stems should spread freely to the sides.
- We tie silk ribbons of two colors.
- Trim the stems to the same length.
The bride's bouquet in beige tones is ready:
Unusual pomander with “spines”
A balloon bouquet today is not considered a super fashionable accessory. But there will always be a bride who wants to show her individuality by choosing it for her wedding. You can decorate the banquet hall with similar flower balls so that the entire wedding ceremony follows the same style.
And if you use trendy plants for the pomander, it would be hard to call it outdated. The Chabot carnation looks good in round compositions, having recently returned to fashion and giving a slight touch of vintage. Texture can be created by adding the popular dried flower eryngium (eryngium), some small-flowered plants, for example, ornithogalum, waxflower or bouwardia and variegated greenery, like pittosporum. Designed in beige tones, the bride's bouquet in the shape of a ball will perfectly complement a white lace retro-style dress. And so that light shades do not merge and do not seem monotonous, it is worth adding a few bright accents - purple, blue or deep pink, but not red - this will look flashy.
In addition to the colors listed, you will need:
- floral sponge (piaflor) in the form of a ball, 10 cm in diameter;
- dense construction stretch film;
- pruner;
- gerbera wire (drut), cross-section 1.4 mm;
- sharp knife (preferably a scalpel);
- durable satin ribbon.
Step-by-step instruction:
- It is not necessary to buy a ready-made piaflora ball. You can cut it from a standard block of floral sponge (taking about 2/3 of the height), which will be much cheaper. There is no need to achieve perfect smoothness - the base will still be completely covered with flowers. The workpiece is lowered into water and allowed to sink to the bottom on its own so that it is well moistened. Then carefully wrap it with stretch film. This technique will protect the floral sponge from destruction during use, help retain moisture and ensure reliable fastening of the flowers.
- We will make the holder from wood. Fold it in half and pierce the ball through the center with both ends.
- The wire should stick out about 3–4 cm; remove the excess length. We bend the ends with wire cutters and move them apart so that they do not “jump out” of the piaflora.
- At the top there is a loop through which a silk or satin ribbon is threaded. It should not be too narrow, otherwise the heavy accessory will cut the bride’s hand. As an alternative, use a large chain or artificial pearls.
- Let's start decorating the ball. It is first hung on a comfortable, durable support; this is much more convenient than holding the base in your hands and at the same time trying to secure the flowers. It is better to place some kind of container under the structure, since water will drip from the sponge during work.
We cut the stems of the carnations to 3–4 cm and insert them into the piaflor, after piercing the stretch film with a knife. If you want the ball to be larger, you can increase the length of the flower “legs”. But then they may break or fall out under their own weight - all risks must be assessed.
- Fill the surface of the ball evenly, alternating pale pink, beige and white carnations. We organize several color “hits” with the help of dark crimson buds. We place the flowers tightly so that they keep each other from falling out. You cannot change the position of the plant material several times; piaflor is destroyed by numerous punctures.
- We fill the space between the carnations with elegant inflorescences of white ornithogalum. At the end we add eryngium. Floristry in recent years has persistently suggested combining live plants and dried flowers in compositions, creating unusual, “field” images. Indeed, in nature, both varieties are often found side by side and look harmonious.
- The accessory could use a little greenery. Pittosporum is more appropriate here than ruscus or eucalyptus - it is not too bright and will not compete with pastel carnations. Once again check the uniformity of filling the surface. Piaflor should not “look out” anywhere.
This unusual bridal bouquet in beige tones looks perfect in the photo. So enchanting wedding photos are guaranteed. And in the future, eryngium sprigs can be dried and left as a souvenir of a significant event.
Rosamelia
Large single flowers, replacing lush wedding arrangements, are still relevant. However, it is difficult to find specimens of a suitable size in nature, so various types of glamelias come to the rescue. An example is a composition of rose petals in a warm caramel shade. Its main highlight is not even the flower, which looks luxurious, but the braided bast ring-holder, which creates a fashionable “forest” look.
Step-by-step instruction:
We braid the foam ring with bleached bast - these are strips of wood located directly under the bark of young trees. The material is often used for decorative purposes.
Divide the ring into 4 equal parts. We insert rods with a cross-section of 2 mm from the inside. This will be the frame from which the bouquet handle will be formed.
For a rose, Tom Brown variety, remove the top rough “shirt” and some more petals until it takes on a pronounced goblet shape. This is the middle of the future rosamelia.
The stem of the rose will simultaneously become the second component of the bouquet handle. We strengthen it by placing one thread inside, and surrounding it with four more from the outside and wrapping it with anchor tape. Let's make brackets for attaching rosemelia petals. We cut the wire into pieces 4–5 cm long and fold each one in half, like a woman’s hairpin. We insert them into the lower parts of the petals, strengthening the glamelia. We take each rose by the stem near the sepals and carefully remove the core.
After which the bud easily breaks into petals. We sort them by size, then combine several of the same ones and twist them with wire. And glue another petal on top, masking the fastening.
We attach the resulting elements to the middle bud. On the reverse side we additionally secure the overhead petals with brackets. Having finished the work, we twist all the wire “tails” into a single neat leg. And wrap it on top with anchor tape.
We insert the rosemelia into the frame and connect both wire holders into one. We decorate the ring with an ivy sprig. We cover the wire fastenings on the reverse side with oakleaf hydrangea inflorescences (artificial or stabilized varieties can be used). We decorate the leg first with a satin ribbon, and then with vintage ivory lace. Spray rosamelia with a spray to extend the life of cut flowers.

Peonies
There are a lot of shades of beige, and often the bride herself does not fully understand what shade she wants to see. Therefore, choosing peony as the main flower will be simply an irreplaceable option. Peonies have now gained great popularity in wedding floristry, and many varieties have been bred.
Among the proposed options, it will not be difficult to find a shade of beige; you can choose ivory-colored peonies or those close to a warm cream shade. Often they do not require additional colors in the composition, as they are very chic in themselves. By selecting different sizes of buds and the degree of their closure, you can create a certain dynamics of movement, and continue this in decorating the bouquet with long brown and cream ribbons.
Gorgeous orchids in a bouquet
An elegant solution for a beige wedding bouquet: cream orchids. For such a bouquet you will have to pay much more money than for a composition of seasonal flowers. But the result is worth it if you want to look noticeable and expensive on your wedding day.
Another argument in favor of these exotic representatives of the flora is their stunning smell. Accompanied by a veil of this tart but light aroma, the bride will feel her best on the long-awaited day. It is not for nothing that orchids are considered natural aphrodisiacs.

Let's start with more saturated tones.

Editor's choice: Decorating the stem of a wedding bouquet, tips with photos
Before you finally decide on beige calla lilies as an addition to your wedding dress, make sure that the newlywed is not prone to allergies, because the active fragrance of these flowers causes a reaction in some people.
Calla lilies
Callas are simple, but at the same time elegant. Their simple appearance amazes with beauty and solemnity. The fragrant aroma of beautiful flowers resembles vanilla. Calla is a symbol of happiness, the guardian of the family hearth from troubles and quarrels. The plant is unpretentious and will delight you with its appearance for a long time after the wedding. The classic color of calla lilies is white, but there are also varieties of different shades. Flowers do not require decorative elements, as they themselves are harmonious and look good. The only drawback of the bouquet is its high cost. Callas are ideal for the cold season; they are frost-resistant and can survive without water for a long time.
Non-traditional materials for bouquets
If you find it difficult to choose the right shade of beige among fresh flowers, pay attention to the increasingly popular trend: wedding bouquets made from artificial materials. For example, a composition made of foamiran, beads, stones or ribbons .
This beige bouquet can be easily decorated to your liking and added shine by inlaid with rhinestones or pearls.
Roses made from delicate beige satin look great with an ivory satin dress.
What style and dress does it go with?
This bouquet is suitable for brides in a traditional wedding look - a long white dress, veil, classic wedding hairstyle.
A wedding in a vintage style also accepts the use of a composition with beige flowers. It is decorated with natural or artificial pearls, satin ribbons and lace. Such bouquets look organic not only during an event, but also in photographs with a sepia filter.
If lace is used for decoration, do not skimp on its quality. Thick, rough, wrinkled material will ruin the design of the accessory and give the bride a sloppy look.
Choose a color combination not only for the dress and general decor, but also for your color type:
- the Winter bride with dark skin and dark hair will suit any shades of beige;
- caramel shades are ideal for the Spring color type;
- “summer” girls should take a closer look at the ashy coolness of light brown;
- and “autumn”, on the contrary, to a warm range of beige.

In addition, you will need:
- scissors;
- floral tape;

Create the base of your rose bouquet by securing the stems securely with green floral tape. This way your bouquet will be stable and will withstand the wedding festivities. Give the composition a round shape.
Add small flowers, berries and leaves in approximately equal quantities around the entire circumference of the base, also securing them with tape.
Now add roses around again, completing the geometrically correct round shape of the bouquet. Tie the stems very tightly with tape, first filling in any empty spaces if any remain.
Wrap the stems with light satin ribbon. Secure with pearl pins. Be sure to attach the pins diagonally so that the sharp end does not stick out from the back.
Finally, you can make a neat bow.
Remember that the simpler the design of your bouquet, the easier it will be to assemble.

Photos of wedding bouquets for an ivory dress
Ivory is a color that symbolizes the tenderness of the bride, her natural beauty, and calm nature. Depending on the tones of the bouquet, its filling with contrasting details or their absence, the feeling from the image of the hero of the occasion will change. In addition to plants, a flower arrangement can be complemented by a variety of materials: lace, satin ribbons, berries, brooches and other decorations.

Outfit and makeup tones
The wedding image and the bride's bouquet should be in perfect harmony and complement each other. If this rule is followed, a bride with a bouquet of powder flowers will look extremely feminine and sophisticated.
To create the perfect look, wedding dresses in white, gray, cream, beige, soft peach, light pink and other calm shades are suitable. The style of the festive dress can be any, the main thing is that the color of the dress and the bouquet is successfully combined and does not merge with each other.
Powdery color in clothes is rightfully considered one of the classic ones, so it is always relevant and in demand. A varied palette of shades is ideally combined with many colors, creating unique and striking stylish looks.
When choosing a classic white dress, you should complement it with accessories to match the wedding bouquet. Such jewelry can be: a satin belt, a garter, shoes or sandals, a handbag or clutch, beads or a chain, a bracelet, earrings. The main thing when choosing powder accessories for the bride’s outfit is not to overdo it and observe moderation and restraint.
A spectacular addition to the bride’s wedding look will be decorating her hair and hairstyles with fresh flowers in powdery shades. A beautiful tiara on the bride’s head will help make the image even more elegant and refined and achieve complete harmony.
Wedding makeup in combination with a bouquet of such a delicate color should be light, natural and emphasize the natural beauty of the bride. To achieve this effect, makeup should be kept in soothing pastel colors. Particular attention should be paid to the bride's festive manicure. A French manicure and powder-colored polishes will look good on your nails.
The color of the buds is an important selection criterion
Traditionally, wedding bouquets are made exclusively from light flowers. To dilute the composition, you can insert several bright accents into it.
Accents can be large or small plants. If you choose large ones, then their number should be minimal (three, five or even one bud). Not all plant colors are suitable for the bride's image. Flowers should emphasize sophistication, innocence and elegance. Plants cope well with this task:
- white, milky, cream;
- yellow-orange and coral;
- violet, blue, lilac;
- pink, purple.
Brave brides can choose bouquets of bright buds: red, purple, azure. Rich shades symbolize passion, energy, power, spiritual strength. In addition, red flowers protect against unfriendly looks and negative energy.
Choosing the shape of the bouquet to match the type of dress
In the past, people got married exclusively in fluffy dresses with floor-length skirts and corsets. Nowadays fashion is much more diverse. Wedding dresses can be narrow, short, fitted along the entire length, loose cut, asymmetrical. A bouquet of a certain shape can advantageously emphasize the style of a dress:
- The standard bouquet is round, imitating a hemisphere. Its diameter is usually 30 cm, and it itself consists of plants with small buds. This bouquet is suitable for fluffy dresses with an elegant multi-tiered skirt.
- A chaotic “field” bouquet is characterized by slight negligence and goes well with simple dresses without excessive decoration. If you are going to get married in a light evening dress or a summer sundress, choose just such a floral arrangement.
- Cascading bouquet – has an unusual shape with flowers flowing down one side. Suitable for asymmetrical wedding dresses. Choose a composition in which the cascade will be located on the same side as the longer part of the dress.
- A sphere bouquet – its round, even shape will appeal to true perfectionists. This bouquet can be complemented with a short dress in the style of the 60s.
Fabrics and finishing of a beige wedding dress
For the manufacture of wedding dresses, preference is given to shape-resistant elastic materials. If we talk about a beige outfit, then lace or guipure is often chosen to frame it.
Lace
A beige lace wedding dress is a win-win option that does not require additional decorative elements. Lace is combined with satin fabric and brocade. Combining textures and materials helps create the effect of airiness of the outfit.
Lace on a beige wedding dress looks especially beautiful in the neckline area. This material opens up wide possibilities for designers. It emphasizes the tenderness and fragility of the female figure.
Silk
In beige color, silk looks noble and festive. It is considered an aristocratic material, emphasizing the status of the bride. Due to the fact that silk is highly breathable, it will be comfortable throughout the entire event.
Guipure
Guipure is the most delicate material that creates the illusion of transparency. It is used to decorate festive outfits. Romantic people can choose a short beige guipure dress for a wedding. With it the image will be light and laconic.
Accessories for a wedding dress in beige color
Decorations on a beige dress should be elegant and stylish. It is advisable to avoid bulky necklaces with large stones. A beige dress with a gray undertone will be complemented by silver jewelry. Warm shades are best combined with gold jewelry sets.
When choosing a bouquet, preference should be given to bright colors. Suitable options would be cornflowers, gerberas, burgundy roses and chrysanthemums. In order for the newlyweds to look harmonious, the groom's tie or bow tie must match the bouquet.
Fashion models
There are a huge variety of shades to choose from.
Choose your future wedding dress of any powdery color according to your wishes, the style of the ceremony and the overall design.
Airy dresses with a flowing multi-layered hem, sewn from light, airy fabric, look gentle and romantic.
Clouds of lace will add a touch of light romance and tenderness to the bride's image.
Optimal for tall young brides. For older women or small girls, it is better to choose a different style.
The optimal solution for almost any figure will be mermaid or empire styles.
The Greek image is also very popular.
Small girls can choose midi models; the hem of such a dress can be made of semi-transparent material.
Looks in the boho spirit include powdery dresses with a long hem, shirts or models that reveal the shoulders. Add exotic accessories like flowers and feathers to your look.
A powder dress is perfect for creating a memorable celebration in the spirit of Provence. The ceremony will be filled with the southern sun of French Provence.
Choose a light, airy dress with a flowing hem. Minimum decorations and decor.
A wedding dress in the spirit of Provence should not be too tight, with a tight corset or too bulky. Powdery in this case can be diluted with lavender or pearl gray.
Choosing a bouquet depending on the time of year
The time of year has a great influence on the choice of composition for the bride - some plants are available only in a certain season, and the cost varies depending on it. If a girl dreams of tulips in winter or late autumn, there is no need to deny herself, the main thing is to make sure that they will last all day. What flowers are available for a bouquet at different times of the year:
- Winter. In the cold season, the bride can safely place bright accents - against the backdrop of general dullness, she craves colorful details. These can be red roses, contrasting amaryllis, bright pink antherium, sprigs of holly with scarlet berries.
- Spring. This is the time of year when elegant tulips, delicate snowdrops, lush peonies, and fragrant hyacinths, beloved by girls, become available. For a short time, lilies of the valley appear, which can become the basis for a spring accessory, and yellow forsythia inflorescences.
- Summer. Under the bright sun, many flowers bloom, which can decorate the newlywed’s beautiful wedding attribute. She can choose from hundreds of options - roses, irises, gladioli, delphiniums bloom in summer, and the variety of touching field plants is amazing.
- Autumn. The bride is ready to make an interesting choice by creating a beautiful accessory with dry leaves and berries - the composition will look original and unusual. If you want live plants, it’s easy to find them this autumn: asters, dahlias, chrysanthemums.
Fashionable styles for bridesmaid dresses in beige tones
The style of the dress also matters in the perception of the image. It should be selected taking into account the situation. For example, a pompous, fluffy dress will not fit into an outdoor wedding celebration. A simple shortened model will be inappropriate at special events.
Lush
A lush beige wedding dress makes the bride the heroine of a fairy tale. Multilayer skirts are draped with organza or chiffon. This makes the look more floaty. This model is suitable for girls of any build.
A-line
The beige A-line wedding dress is widened from top to bottom. Such models are distinguished by their fitted design and the presence of a full skirt. Organza or chiffon is used to trim the dress. The lightness and delicacy of the fabric is emphasized with lace.
A short
A short beige wedding dress is especially suitable for celebrating a wedding in the summer. It does not restrict movement and is practical. In the future, a short outfit can be worn to other events. A short dress suits girls with long slender legs.
With sleeves
A beige wedding dress with sleeves is not overly provocative. Its main feature is practicality. This dress will fit into a winter wedding look. Sleeves are often decorated with lace or sequins. The outfit turns out elegant and conservative. At the same time, it can be in the spirit of modernity. For example, dresses with puff sleeves are in fashion today.
Mermaid
The mermaid dress follows the curves of the body and emphasizes the neckline. This style features an open bodice and a long train. To make such a dress, thin and soft fabrics that lend themselves well to draping are used. The beige mermaid style allows you to create a feminine and sophisticated look.
Empire style
The beige color of the bride's dress in the empire style is suitable for girls with curvy figures. The style hides figure flaws and focuses attention on its advantages. The model assumes a high waist, emphasized by a belt or openwork ribbon.
