Symbolism
A rose already means love in all its manifestations, but in a red hue this interpretation becomes even more clear - passion, impossible attraction to each other, a promise to always be there, no matter what happens.
The lighter the red, the more uncontrollable emotions it contains. Dark tones in the language of flowers speak of nobility, calmer and family love.
What colors are they made with?
Red color in all its diversity is very common in wildlife, so the bride has plenty to choose from.
The classic option is undoubtedly roses. Bush, garden, peony - the proud, graceful petals of this magical flower will in any case add nobility and luxury to the bride’s image.
For lovers of more refined forms, callas, lilies, and orchids would be a good solution. This bouquet looks equally fabulous both in light colors close to orange and in rich burgundy.
Flowers with fluffy, slightly disheveled petals - peonies, carnations, chrysanthemums, freesias - also look excellent in the red spectrum.
Idea! The huge red protea looks absolutely exotic - a tropical flower reaching 30 cm in diameter and shaped like a royal scepter.
For a wedding in a rustic style, simple but charming forms of poppies, tulips, gerberas, and irises are indispensable, especially in combination with lush textured greenery.
It is also possible to add two-color buds. The most striking example is the unusual red and white amaryllis. Orchids, carnations, alstroemerias also often combine red with white, pink or orange.
A composition for a winter or autumn celebration is decorated with a variety of red berries, leaves, and dried flowers. Rowan is often used - its flaming accent looks great in both a darker and monochrome picture.
Wedding composition ideas with photos
Royal flowers can look very different, and therefore easily fit into any theme of the celebration:
- There are many varieties of roses , from miniature bush and tousled peony to elegant garden roses;
- Graceful flowers are combined with other plants : both luxurious and more modest. True, unfortunately, compatibility ends at the stage of installation in a vase. In it, roses become unpleasant neighbors, secreting poisonous enzymes;
- Various bouquet shapes, ordinary or absolutely fantastic , for example, a completely round pomander hanging on a ribbon or composed of hundreds of individual glamelia petals, allow you to create elegant or sensual, but always beautiful ensembles.
To make the composition look good as part of the image, take into account the features of the bride’s appearance. Large cascading bouquets are suitable for tall people, miniature round ones are suitable for short ones.
Monobouquet
Roses are self-sufficient and look great without any additional neighbors or tricks.
On its own stems, in the form of a cascade or a ball, a mono-bouquet in any case will create a magnificent accent, standing out against the background of a snow-white dress.
Advice! If desired, a gradient from darker buds in the center or top to lighter ones along the edges or bottom is acceptable, but do not overdo it with shades - there should be no more than five.
Greenery will also be appropriate, which will give the roses even more freshness. But if the theme of the wedding dictates strict rules, the stems and leaves of the rose, on the contrary, should be completely hidden behind satin and lace, leaving only the flaming buds exposed.
A cascade composed of large scarlet roses also looks great, while the composition is diluted with greenery or kept in monochrome.
Don't forget to remove the thorns. They can tear your dress, injure your hands, and are also a sign of future quarrels in the family. If you need thorns as part of the natural appearance of roses, then decorate the handle very carefully so as not to get scratched.
From spray roses
Shrub roses, unlike their older sister, are much more tender and reverent. Several buds on one branch allow you to create more natural compositions that look good even at a completely democratic wedding. The main thing is to choose the appropriate design for such an ensemble.
It is not forbidden to create strict elegant bouquets from bush roses - round, spherical, glamelia, fans. The figured white or pink line, a pattern running through the red splendor, is extremely delicate - both roses of the same variety, differing only in tone, and buds with completely different petals are acceptable, because there are no fewer options for bush roses than for garden ones.
Idea! A magnificent cascade of small buds in a miniature design. It is ideal even for fragile short young ladies.
A mono-bouquet of red spray roses, wrapped in the most ordinary craft paper in the shape of a cone, looks very stylish. This composition creates at once a luxurious and slightly careless picture, demonstrating the ideal taste of the hero of the occasion.
With peonies
Large lush peonies perfectly complement the strict harmony of roses. Both absolute monochrome is possible - this will allow you to play with shape and texture, as well as a variety of shades.
Red roses go well with white, cream, and pink peonies, emphasizing with their regal beauty their charm that breathes freedom.
It is not necessary to use large varieties of roses. Bush plants look even more harmonious with their furry neighbors. Small compositions are interesting, for example, tussie moussie, consisting of one white peony and a scattering of small roses. Greenery is often placed along the edges of such a bouquet, and the handle is placed in a metal patterned vase.
No worse is the cascade, in which peonies usually crown the top part, and roses cascade down, surrounded by greenery. The free form of the arrangement also looks charming, although, despite its deceptive dishevelment, it requires enormous skill from the florist.
If the wedding theme allows, you are allowed to play with bright, unexpected colors. Lemon, orange, fuchsia - juicy shades of peonies will dilute the red severity of roses in an extremely interesting way, creating a truly unusual picture.
If you want cooler shades, then lilac, violet, even green, blue and blue are also acceptable , but you should understand that such an unexpected combination requires careful selection of specific tones and decent design in order not to look flashy.
With daisies
Such an unexpected solution is suitable for lovers of contrasts. Daisies are a symbol of modesty, innocence and purity. In a duet with elegant red roses, these simple flowers create a unique picture of tenderness and passion, sensuality and chastity at the same time.
Such an ensemble really perfectly describes the modern bride - self-confident, bright, and at the same time tender and believing in miracles.
Idea! A very sensual picture in a duet with daisies will be created by the David Austin variety, similar to peonies.
White and yellow dilute the composition, making it calmer and more accentuated. It doesn’t matter which flowers there are more, both options are quite worthy and charming. Roses are chosen from both large, elongated and miniature bush roses.
With lilies
The union of two flower queens is sure to captivate everyone without exception. Delicate large lilies, especially in a snow-white shade, fabulously complement the scarlet buds of roses. Other shades - pink, peach, blue, yellow - are also acceptable , although they make the composition much brighter and more demanding.
For absolute luxury, you can create a round bouquet with approximately equal numbers of white lilies and red roses, with virtually no greenery. Such a composition requires a chic, but not overloaded with decor flowing dress, as well as a bright accent in the image - lipstick to match the roses, lilies from a bouquet in the hair. Cascades full of greenery or relatively small bouquets of a similar combination also look incredibly charming.
Remember that lilies are very fragile flowers that cannot tolerate frost, drought or touch. Although their neighbor the rose is more hardy, the bouquet must be handled with extreme care.
With eustoma
Eustoma is slightly similar to a rose, but has a softer contour and a noticeable center. In a duet with the queen of flowers, she most often plays second fiddle to the charming retinue. If you want to achieve equality, you can choose small bush roses - this will make the composition more uniform.
White, cream, pink or peach eustoma perfectly complements the flaming buds. The overall picture is tender, reverent and at the same time extremely sensual. The airy petals of eustoma fit perfectly into both a luxurious vintage bouquet and more austere and simple forms.
With rowan
An elegant and bold option for autumn and winter weddings is purple roses with rowan branches. This combination looks extremely interesting in a non-standard form in the form of a fan.
Roses are chosen either tone-on-tone with rowan berries, in which case the overall picture will be bright and juicy, or a few shades darker for greater elegance.
If desired, add other elements of winter decor - spruce branches, moss, succulents, cotton. With them the bouquet becomes more comfortable.
From freesias
Delicate freesia petals perfectly frame the exquisite textured buds of both large and very tiny roses. A modest but charming flower has excellent endurance, a magical aroma and a huge palette of shades, although most often it is used in the snow-white version . Such compositions seem to be imbued with trust, love and devotion.
Idea! A spherical bouquet looks interesting, and it is advisable to reflect the difference in both color and texture not with an ordinary gradient, but with a variety of patterns - abstract or not.
Fresh herbs are often added to give the ensemble a natural and spring-like touch. Another exquisite solution is pearls in roses, matching the color of freesia.
With gypsophila
Miniature gypsophila inflorescences are a frequent guest in wedding bouquets, but they certainly look best with large flaming rose buds. Most often, snow-white gypsophila is used, which creates the necessary contrast in both color and texture.
Pink inflorescences look no worse, they can surround the bride with an aura of romance and dreaminess. The plant itself adds fresh green notes, but if desired, it is not forbidden to use additional carved leaves, for example, fern.
This combination is best revealed in the classic round form of a bouquet , but if you wish, you can play with more interesting options - a fan or a crescent of roses and gypsophila will turn out no worse.
With orchids
Exotic, sensual orchids are becoming increasingly popular in wedding bouquets - and this is understandable, because the huge palette of colors of this plant, its good endurance and charming shape cannot leave anyone indifferent.
In a duet with roses, they usually use either plain white orchids with a center that matches their neighbors. To create accents, petals with edging are often added. If the wedding theme allows, nothing prevents you from using pink, spotted, peach and even orange or yellow flowers.
A red mono-bouquet of roses and orchids is a real quintessence of passion, looking especially sensual in a cascading bouquet with an abundance of greenery. Other forms are also acceptable, but remember that orchids are very moisture-loving plants, and therefore a porta bouquet is desirable for them.
Glamelia, made from rose petals and orchids at the same time, looks extremely unusual. Different textures turn the resulting flower into a real work of art, regardless of whether it will captivate those around you with one or several shades.
The dense petals of orchids are very hardy, so if you want to decorate the flowers themselves with rhinestones, don’t be afraid to glue them on them.
Red roses in the wedding tradition
The “Queen of Flowers” is considered a recognized symbol of love, tenderness and romantic relationships. But the shades of the expressed feelings directly depend on the color, shape and number of buds offered. For example, a scarlet flower, given in a single copy, speaks of a strong attachment that cannot be destroyed. “I don’t need anyone except you,” the young man seems to admit, handing his beloved one large bud.
If flower 3 is gratitude for warmth and cordiality, then 5 expresses readiness to tie the knot. But, perhaps, the most expressive thing is the bride’s bouquet of 7 red roses; here we are talking about an all-consuming passion that will last forever, warming and supporting the family hearth.
Scarlet, cherry and burgundy buds symbolize the strong attraction between lovers. Moreover, the darker the flower petals, the hotter the feelings experienced. The shade of Marsala is usually preferred by women of “Balzac age”, who have subtle soulfulness and wisdom.
It is important that bright red roses in a wedding bouquet are half-opened - this is a symbol of an actively developing relationship.
In addition, such an accessory indicates that the union was concluded out of sincere, ardent love. If the feelings between the newly-made spouses are softer, gentle, deep and harmonious, it is better to combine scarlet and white or light pink buds.
What kind of brides are they suitable for?
A composition with red roses will definitely appeal to emotional, bright, self-confident girls who know what they want from life, selflessly love their chosen one and expect the same devotion from him in return.
Choose a bouquet to suit your type:
- Red roses are best suited for hot brunettes , perfectly emphasizing their contrasting beauty;
- Brown-haired and red-haired women also look good with a similar composition, but it is very important to select a specific shade according to the color type. So, dark options are more suitable for cold people - burgundy, marsala, and for warm ones - scarlet and orange-red;
- For delicate blondes, an all-red composition will be too heavy, so it is better to choose another color as the main color, and add red as an accent with a few bright flashes.
To prevent red from seeming alien, be sure to add another tone-on-tone highlight to your look - shoes, lipstick, nail polish, a hair clip.
Bouquet of yellow roses for the bride
There is an opinion that yellow flowers are not suitable for a wedding, as they promise a quick separation. However, all this is nothing more than superstition. Exclusive bouquets are created with yellow roses.
Yellow roses – the choice of positive, emotional brides

Decor
The Queen of Flowers looks luxurious on her own, but it is not forbidden to add various decorations that will highlight her beauty and allow the whole image to be sewn with a single thread.
A very elegant solution is to decorate the handle of the bouquet taking into account the decor of the dress - with a lace ribbon with the same pattern, a string of beads, rhinestones, the same material from which the dress is made. On the contrary, you can play on contrasts, and with a strict flowing dress, wrap the handle in weightless tulle or chiffon.
Idea! A simpler option is a satin ribbon that intercepts the stems, on which pendants, tassels, and bows are placed.
Vintage weddings look great with a bouquet wrapped in a sheet of music. Some other styles allow for craft paper or raw linen - luxurious red roses in such a rough frame look even more magical.
In addition to the stem, the flowers themselves are also decorated. Depending on the style they add:
- feathers;
- brooches;
- chains;
- wire frames;
- dried flowers, berries and fruits;
- white pearls attached to the center of each flower.
Roses with succulents
This bouquet is perfect for a winter wedding. It consists of roses, brunia, succulents, berries and cotton. It is thanks to such a large number of components that a magical composition is obtained. Cotton bolls resemble snowballs surrounded by red roses. This contrast is only enhanced by succulents. Brunia in this case is tinted; in general, it has a less pronounced gray color. But this bouquet has its drawbacks. You will have to wear it very carefully, because if you crush the red berries, the stains will remain on both your dress and your fur coat. If possible, the bride can pass her bouquet to the groom or bridesmaid. But one of the advantages of such a composition is its durability. Flowers will delight their owner for more than one week, and even after this time, cotton bolls and succulents will have a quite presentable appearance, and they can be used for some crafts.
Tips for writing
The color of the bride's dress will be largely decisive. It is necessary to choose a combination so that it does not look too pretentious. Of course, red is an eye-catcher. But do you need too much attention on your outfit? It is better to follow a simple rule of compatibility and use from one to three colors in the overall wedding style. A red wedding bouquet of the bride together with a dress of the same shade will create color redundancy. But with a white dress it will look much more elegant. Add a couple more elements to the flowers in the form of shoes and jewelry, and your look will be irresistible.
Also, when choosing a floral accessory, do not forget that it should match the character of the bride. A bouquet of gerberas is perfect for a cheerful, kind girl. And for a serious and sensible bride, you can choose classic scarlet roses.
