Bridal bouquet in the shape of a heart
This unusual and eye-catching shape has captured the hearts of many brides, especially those who love to experiment. I find this bouquet shape to be the most photogenic of all.
Let's learn how to create a bouquet-tick, or heart, as it is also called. I will explain the assembly algorithm to you and describe the entire process step by step. All you have to do is choose the right material - and putting together this spectacular wedding bouquet of fresh flowers will not be difficult.
You will need:
- anthuriums and tulips (for lines and contours);
- Euphorbia and hydrangea (for volume);
- peonies (for large focal points);
- roses (for mass);
- bush carnation (for texture).
First, let's prepare the flowers: remove the leaves and trim all the stems. I put the hydrangea in a test tube - this is a must if you want to use hydrangea in a wedding bouquet. But you shouldn’t do this in gift bouquets, since hydrangea drinks water from a test tube within a day.
Let's start assembling with a rose, it will become the core of the bouquet. Then add milkweed for volume. I will not have any decorative greenery in this bouquet, and only milkweed will add green color.
We collect the center of the bouquet in a spiral, taking the plants in test tubes inside. The color scheme will be typical for wedding bouquets: delicate pastel colors with slight contrasts.
When the central mass of a bouquet of 3-5 flowers has been collected, we begin to build one of the lines. From the center we gradually increase the volume, installing plants at different levels in smooth steps. Using anthuriums we draw form-building lines.
Having assembled the center of the bouquet and one line, we fix the assembly point with a rubber band. An elastic band will hold the bunch and at the same time allow you to remove or add a flower, as well as adjust its height in the bouquet. In addition, this way you will avoid the risk of accidentally pinching the stems with your hand.
The next step is to build up the second shaping line. We will add flowers gradually, from the center, without sudden transitions. To get the shape of a checkmark, the lines should differ in bend and length, and the center of the bouquet should be slightly recessed.
Having completed the second line, we again fix the center of the assembly with an elastic band.
The final touches remain: we adjust the flowers so that they take the desired angle, and fix the bouquet with anchor tape, or directly on top of the elastic band. We trim the bouquet.

In order not to be mistaken with the length of the stem, take the bouquet in your hand at the assembly point, measure 3-4 cm from the edge of the palm and cut off the excess. Too long legs in a bridal bouquet look old-fashioned and not very neat.

Rules for a good boutonniere
- The boutonniere flowers should repeat the bride's bouquet and harmonize with each other.
- Choose small inflorescences so as not to spoil the harmony of the groom’s image.
- Flowers should not emit a strong aroma so as not to cause an allergic reaction or worsen the condition.
- Give preference to flowers without excess pollen so as not to stain the groom's suit.
- If the celebration is planned in a certain theme, for example, country style, then the flower arrangement should follow the general trend, i.e. consist of wildflowers.
- The accessory should be in harmony with the color of the groom's suit.
- A boutonniere should not contain more than 3 flowers.
A stylish and beautiful boutonniere will make the image of the main man at the wedding elegant and complete, giving him gloss and sophistication. The main question: make this decoration yourself, or order it from a florist?
It should be noted that creating a beautiful composition of several flowers yourself is not a difficult task and will save you time and money, and most importantly, the decoration made by the bride herself will carry a special meaning and the warmth of her beloved hands, which is especially pleasant.

The history of the boutonniere
The history of the boutonniere goes back hundreds of years.
Since ancient times, girls have attached a flower to their betrothed's clothes as a sign of devotion and love. In Greece in the Middle Ages, men decorated their formal attire in this way on the left side near the heart in order to scare away evil spirits that could interfere with the happiness of the newlyweds. Later, this tradition was adopted by European countries and the USA, and boutonnieres began to be used not only at celebrations.
For example, during the French Revolution, nobles wore a flower in their buttonhole (a red carnation) on their chest as a symbol of courage and fearlessness. Later, in the 19th century in England, this accessory became an integral element of the everyday style of “dandies” and people from high-ranking circles.

The “Groom’s Boutonniere” section is dedicated to an accessory that has long become traditional and almost mandatory. Only now the groom’s boutonniere does not necessarily have to be made of flowers to match the bride’s bouquet. In the photo from our selection you will see that the boutonniere for the groom can be made of any other materials: fabric, wool, felt, paper, plastic, metal. This small detail can even reflect the groom's passion: sports, hobbies, favorite food. These boutonnieres look funny and add family ease to the celebration.
Fashionable wedding bouquet 2021-2022: floristry trends
Today fashion gives preference to tenderness and femininity, supporting this image in all possible ways.
The same applies to the image of the bride. Both the wedding dress, hairstyle and accessories, and the wedding bouquet should be festive in a wedding way, but this does not mean that it must be hung with ribbons, decorated with rhinestones, etc.
The most beautiful bouquet of a bride is a wedding bouquet, emphasizing her individuality, therefore, it is the future mistress of the family hearth who decides what the wedding bouquet should be.
And believe me, no matter what wedding bouquet the bride chooses, it will be the most beautiful and fashionable, because it will convey the girl’s state of mind, her emotions and experiences.
Fashionable wedding flower arrangements for brides can be created from a variety of flowers, but most often the bride’s wedding bouquet is made from roses, lilies, calla lilies, and irises.
Brides are also impressed by bouquets of peonies, daisies, hyacinths, gerberas, orchids, poppies, wildflowers, etc.
Again, in order for the bride’s wedding bouquet to be beautiful for a long time, the flowers must be fresh.
Also choose wedding bouquets made from flowers that will be more weather resistant.
Today, fashionable wedding bouquets for brides are in pastel colors, which symbolize luxury and well-being.
But many girls prefer a wedding bouquet in bright colors, creating an original twist to the overall style of the wedding look.
A bright wedding bouquet will be preferred by charismatic brides with a fiery temperament, for whom a wedding bouquet in bright and rich shades will be just right.
A beautiful bridal bouquet can be combined with the bride's dress, shoes, makeup and accessories.
So, if you choose a red wedding bouquet of roses or poppies, be sure to support this color with bright lipstick and stylish red shoes and a handbag.
It is very beautiful when the bride’s wedding bouquet suits not only the hero of the occasion, but also refreshes the appearance of the groom, complementing the flower in his jacket (boutonniere) with rich, repeating shades.
It is important what shape and weight the bridal bouquet you choose will be, because the bride will have to hold it in her hands for a long time and pose in front of photo and video cameras.
Wedding bouquets for brides most often come in a round shape. Often a beautiful wedding bouquet is made in the shape of a drop, which also looks very stylish.
A neat and discreet wedding bouquet for the bride on a portaquet will be convenient. But many beauties prefer naturalness, choosing flowers in a bunch.
Both bridal bouquets with a handle and wedding bouquets in a bunch can be beautifully decorated.
Florists know how to make a bouquet so that it is an original accent of the wedding look, so they often use rhinestones, beads, ribbons to match other wedding accessories or the groom’s suit, etc.
In order for the bride's wedding bouquet to be stored for a long time, florists store it in special conditions, namely at a temperature of 9 degrees - the optimal temperature that allows the flowers to remain fresh and bright for a long time.
Your bridal bouquet will delight you for a long time if you do not forget to wet the sponge that is in the handle (bouquet holder).
Each bride's wedding bouquet is original. Try to choose wedding bouquet ideas in advance so that you can go to the florist with a ready-made solution.
If the bride's wedding bouquet falls on the groom's shoulders, be sure to tell him about your preferences and tastes.
And now we bring to your attention the most original wedding bouquets for brides – photo ideas.
We hope you will find your most beautiful bridal bouquet among our examples, because we tried to present the most diverse wedding bouquets in design.

KNOWLEDGE BASE: Choosing a modern wedding scenario
On your hand or on your dress?
Brides who decide to use a boutonniere often ask a similar question. And it is simply impossible to answer it unequivocally. After all, each representative of the fair sex has her own priorities.
There is only one thing to say: a decoration on your hand is much more convenient than a bouquet on a dress. After all, the outfit is already beautiful in its own way and it has enough accessories. A boutonniere is attached to a robe only if the design of the dress allows it.
