Symbolism
When choosing flowers, it is important to take into account not only your tastes, colors and their appearance, but also the symbolism of the plants.

Cornflower is considered the embodiment of purity, grace and modesty, and its blue color is a symbol of devotion and constancy. The flower radiates the energy of friendliness and tenderness.
The color blue is endowed with special power, so the union of two lovers should be strong, designed to last for many years. Advice! This bouquet is suitable for a wedding in a folk or French style. It will add intrigue to the bride's image, shrouding it in a soft aura of mystery.
How to choose a bouquet of cornflowers?
Wedding bouquets of daisies and cornflowers
In order to decide what the wedding composition will look like for the bride, it is worth thinking about what criteria need to be taken into account when choosing.
Since wildflowers are among the simplest, lush and pompous outfits are absolutely not suitable for them. In this case, the plants should ideally match the bride’s dress. Simple outfits in a slightly rustic style will go well with cornflowers.
The plants of blue-eyed blondes will look especially beautiful and harmonious. Girls with Slavic appearance are lucky in this case. In their hands, flowers look especially warm and at the same time stylish.
The image can be emphasized with the help of accessories and clothing. For example, add blue earrings or a ribbon of the same tone to the dress.
Cornflowers require maximum simplicity and minimalism of the image. Therefore, you should not overload your appearance with complex hairstyles, flashy makeup and unusual styles. All you need is to achieve maximum simplicity of the image.
What kind of brides are they suitable for?
A bouquet of cornflowers is an ideal option for fragile and timid girls. It is more suitable for young ladies, especially in combination with daisies, when it emphasizes the purity of the bride and the richness of her inner world.
Compositions made from cornflowers will fit perfectly into the image:
- blue-eyed or gray-eyed girls, helping to make their eyes more expressive;
- connoisseurs of everything natural and natural;
- owners of milky-white skin color;
- blondes, fair-haired or red-haired beauties;
- romantic and dreamy natures;
- those who like to attract attention;
- very young brides;
- women over 30.
Wildflowers evoke charm and admiration at the same time. They are liked by noble natures who are able to maintain love for one person throughout their lives. Such girls do not agree to adventures, prefer peace and family comfort, and have the ability to appreciate and understand themselves and their partner.

In fact, this small flowering plant is versatile. Moreover, using it as a mere complementary element is very short-sighted. Magnificent mono-compositions of airy gypsophila clouds can become a separate bouquet - completely exclusive, airy and fantastic. And to really create an unusual look, add a couple of touches of chic, for example, pearl beads or satin ribbons. You can even add a few small contrasting elements, for example, coral or lilac shades, but only those that echo the color scheme of the wedding.
The main thing is not to overload the bouquet with decor, since the emphasis is on naturalness
Pair with outfit
Wildflowers are friendly and fit perfectly into any wedding look. But if the bride wants to create a gentle and natural look, then it is recommended to choose accessories and attire more modestly.
What outfit does a cornflower bouquet look perfect with?
- A light dress of a simple cut without fluffy skirts and elaborate decor;
- White, cream or blue color of the outfit;
- Bodycon dress with asymmetrical hem;
- Ribbons or bows in blue and white for decoration;
- Simple hairstyle - loose braiding, loose hair, flowing strands;
- A discreet wreath instead of the usual veil;
- Woven sandals or low heels.
Garter, shoes and jewelry should be chosen to match the color of the bouquet. The ideal option is a combination of blue and white colors in the bride’s image and wedding bouquet.
You should limit yourself to natural makeup. Do not use bright shadows or rich lipstick. Instead, it is better to use a light lip gloss. For manicure, powder or clear varnish is suitable. And no rhinestones or elaborate painting!
Examples of wedding bouquets
Wedding bouquets with cornflowers.
The following original options can serve as examples of wedding compositions:
- White roses, white callas and deep blue cornflowers. This composition is suitable for a classic and traditional ceremony. Cornflowers in it act as an original accent, which suggests that the girl herself is quite simple, kind, open and sincere.
- Lilies, tulips and cornflowers - despite the fact that flowers are from completely different worlds, they can be successfully combined thanks to an interesting color palette. Plants of different sizes look especially beautiful.
Ideas
Bouquets with cornflowers can be monotonous with one type of greenery or combined - with different plants and decorative elements. Most often, flowers are decorated in the form of a ball on a stem or a satin ribbon-loop.
Juicy blue goes well with the following shades:
- white;
- light blue;
- yellow;
- red;
- cream;
- violet.
If the celebration takes place indoors with dim lighting, the blue color should not suddenly turn green. You should differentiate between cornflowers and greens with white twigs or flowers. In winter, a composition with blue inflorescences contrasts effectively with the background of snow-white snow.
Idea! Along with real flowers, flowers made of fabric or beads look original if such a composition fits into the theme of the wedding.
With roses
Cornflowers and roses are a classic combination. White or milky roses are suitable for wildflowers. Sometimes blue roses are appropriate. They give the bouquet a sophisticated sophistication. The compositions are complemented with greenery or decorations, for example, a brooch attached to the stem.
Blue roses are not found in nature. They acquire this color thanks to a natural dye that is added to the water. Blue buds obtained by dyeing ordinary white roses are not durable, which cannot be said about blue roses bred by breeders. True, it is extremely difficult to buy such masterpieces in a store, so you will have to place an order for individual delivery. In order to harmoniously fit a composition of cornflowers and roses into the wedding decoration, you need to use the same combinations and color palette in the image of the groom, when decorating the banquet hall and invitation cards.
Cornflowers and roses will also be a good companion for garlands of fresh flowers that decorate the wedding procession.
With daisies
The union of white and blue inflorescences creates an atmosphere of freshness and lightness. A cornflower-chamomile bouquet is especially relevant for a wedding in a rustic style. It will be useful for an outdoor ceremony or a themed photo shoot in nature. When creating a composition, it is worth considering the following nuances:
- You can complement it with golden and green ears;
- Poppies, irises and meadow grasses combine favorably with a white and blue base;
- The shape of the bouquet is suitable in the form of a hemisphere or a handbag;
- These flowers love freedom and do not last long without water. To keep them fresh longer, be sure to use a porta bouquet holder or any fastener with a water container.
Play with the arrangement of flowers in your bouquet! Insert cornflowers in the middle, and make a border of daisies around it, or take one of the plants as a basis and add a few pieces of the second to the bouquet for contrast.
With eustoma
The composition is built on contrast - wildflowers growing in the natural conditions of central Russia, and eustomas, carefully grown in greenhouses or brought from their homeland - from Mexico. It is this combination that makes the composition original and attracts attention to it.
The variety of colors of eustoma - from dark purple to flesh-pink - allows you to fantasize and find interesting solutions in the process of collecting a bouquet, creating variations for any wedding style. Eustoma of a blue or purple hue with a snow-white core looks impressive. It will highlight the splendor of cornflowers and make the wedding bouquet chic. Cornflowers can be collected in the middle of a flower arrangement or inserted into a porta bouquet holder in a chaotic manner. At the same time, the size of the buds should be approximately the same - within 2-4 cm. Both types of flowers are short-lived, so florists recommend taping them.
Idea! Often, hydrangea, roses and eucalyptus leaves are added to the base of cornflowers and eustoma, and the bouquet itself is made in the form of a flowing cascade.
Monobouquet
If desired, you can collect a bouquet of only cornflowers. A composition in which the flowers differ in the shade and size of the inflorescences looks more interesting. Interspersed with greenery and the addition of decorative elements are allowed that will strengthen and protect the delicate stems of field plants. For registration use:
- lace, satin;
- colored ribbons;
- clips, beads, imitation precious stones;
- rhinestones, brooches.
The lower part of the composition is decorated with bright paper or wickerwork. If you add ears of wheat to a mono bouquet, it will turn out more interesting. It will seem as if you have just returned from a field where you were collecting fresh beauty.
Options for combining cornflowers with daisies and other flowers
The most popular option when using this or that type of plant is a monobouquet. With it, the flower arrangement includes only one variety of plants. At the same time, it can be used in several colors. For example, in the case of cornflowers, classic blue and lilac would be appropriate. This combination will help emphasize the tenderness of the image and the stability of the relationship.
- With eustoma is an original combination, since it combines garden and exotic plants. It is worth choosing a not too large eustoma so that it does not interrupt all the beauty of the cornflowers. Look out for blue flowers with white inflorescences. In this case, they will successfully harmonize with wildflowers. The role of eustoma in a bouquet is to create volume and additional airiness.
- With daisies, there is nothing more beautiful than a combination of several wildflowers at once. Please note that in the case of daisies we are talking about small buds, more like medicinal ones. With daisies you get an interesting combination, in which the bouquet looks as if it had just been picked by the bride from the fields. The composition is not loaded with additional decorative elements. All you need is a thick ribbon that is tied around the base of the bouquet itself.
- With roses is a royal plant that can create a good and interesting composition with any flower. It is important to choose the right color and tone of roses. It shouldn't stick out too much. In this case, several options are possible. The first is to emphasize the depth of color with cornflower blue, choosing the same shade. The second is to play with contrast by adding a delicate pastel pink to the main color. In this case, you will get a particularly delicate and romantic bouquet.
Florist recommendations
Idea! In winter, use dried cornflowers instead of fresh ones. They don’t have such a rich color, but they definitely won’t wilt from frost.
In order for the bouquet to withstand the ceremony, the flowers must be fresh , so it is advisable to collect them yourself.
It is recommended to collect cornflowers in the morning, immediately after dew has fallen. These are very delicate plants; their stems practically do not store moisture. They are cut with scissors and immediately placed in water. With proper care and proper collection, cornflowers remain fresh for 6-7 days.
The composition can consist only of cornflowers or be supplemented with other wild or garden flowers. So, in alliance with forget-me-nots, cornflowers will add sophistication to the bride’s image and emphasize fragility. Cornflowers can be combined with poppies, peonies and tulips.
When composing a bouquet, follow these recommendations:
- Prepare a porta bouquet so that the flowers have constant access to water. The water should be soft. Rainwater is ideal, but if it is not possible to obtain it, you will have to buy a special solution at a flower shop to soften it. Water is also softened by adding ash or salt (3 grams per liter);
- To prevent rotting, trim off leaves that become submerged;
- Select inflorescences that are approximately the same size;
- Be careful when decorating! Do not overdo it with ribbons, packing net and beads. Often, a bouquet whose stem is tied with ordinary twine looks much more harmonious;
- If this is a mono-bouquet, dilute the blue with greenery or ears of corn if desired;
- Pay attention to the smell. If any flowers in the composition have a persistent and rich aroma, this may cause dizziness or allergies. It is better to use such plants in moderation;
- To ensure that the delicate inflorescences do not lose their brightness, the finished bouquet should be protected from direct sunlight before the wedding.
