Floral arrangements can be very different: from modest natural ones for summer ceremonies to bright and solemn ones in the winter season and at numerous luxurious celebrations. In any case, such a bouquet is designed to emphasize the solemnity of the moment, the femininity and sophistication of the bride. As a rule, girls traditionally choose white and pink flowers - the bride’s wedding bouquet of a delicate pink color is ideal for classic looks and dresses.

Why pink?
It is no coincidence that pink is chosen by stylists, designers and the brides themselves for wedding floral arrangements: this palette is rich in a variety of shades - from the most delicate, barely colored, to juicy and rich. Rarely do monochromatic bouquets give the desired effect: a well-composed composition usually represents a combination of different shades - such a bridal bouquet in soft pink tones looks alive and original, as if it had come out of a painting by a venerable artist.

Despite the fact that pink itself is a calm, non-flashy color , many stylists, for greater tenderness and sophistication, prefer to further dilute it with white, as well as its shades (milky, ecru, ivory, etc.). The bride's white and pink bouquet does not draw all the attention to itself and is not a bright accent - it is a harmonious addition to the image, calm and balanced, giving confidence, blocking negativity and creating the appropriate mood.

When creating a bouquet, you should take into account the psycho-emotional rule of the pink range , symbolizing feelings, tenderness, kindness and love: pale shades reflect sincerity and sentimentality, while bright and rich ones, close to red, are sexy and symbolize ardor and passion.

Most often, the basis for wedding bouquets are roses - ideally shaped flowers that nature itself has awarded with many shades. If only roses (or any other flowers of the same type) are used when composing a bouquet, this is a mono-bouquet, but more often compositions are composed with the addition of various flowers - such a bouquet is more interesting and picturesque, and it simply does not look boring.

How to make a flower arrangement for a wedding?
The color and shape of the bouquet depend on many factors : the cut and color of the dress, the appearance of the bride herself, even the surroundings and theme of the wedding ceremony. To prevent the ceremonial bouquet from looking boring, stylists recommend not choosing buds of the same type, similar to each other like twin brothers. Combine different shades, flowers of different families, do not be afraid to create original shapes, only then will the flower arrangement look original and stylish.

In addition to the traditional round or spherical shape of a wedding bouquet, you can choose an elongated, cascading, scepter, hemispherical and even crescent-shaped one. Recently, a floral technique for composing a composition called “glamelia” (flower bouquet) has also been found. The specific option is selected according to the body type and height of the girl and her groom, the cut of the dress and its decor; for brides in the “position”, bouquets of a more voluminous, crescent-shaped or cascading configuration are recommended.

Let's move on to the selection of floral shades . First of all, it should be taken into account that a pink bouquet is not always a bouquet of roses: callas, tulips, gladioli, and wildflowers can be chosen as an effective alternative. A pink and purple bridal bouquet, for example, can be composed of lavender flowers, irises, tulips and even (for spring) lilac snowdrops. It is important not to overdo the use of purple shades, because against their background the bride can fade and not look very flattering, especially if she is not a scorching, spectacular brunette. A lilac-pink bouquet looks very impressive, a wedding bouquet made up of fragrant lilies, asters or special floral roses of lilac color.

A pink-blue bouquet, like any other, in addition to flowers, can contain twigs with berries, decorative leaves, pine cones, and various natural and floral decorations. A white bouquet especially needs this so as not to get lost against the background of a white wedding dress and look expressive in photographs.

When composing a wedding flower arrangement, it is considered good practice to take into account the seasonality of the wedding ceremony . Thus, for a summer pink bouquet, peonies or peony-shaped roses are used, effectively complemented by astilbe and hypericum berries. In winter, tones can be colder; lilac and lavender will help express this; Often such compositions are decorated with dried flowers, which allows the bouquet to look incredibly stylish.

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.
Features of soft pink tones
Pink tone is considered a very traditional color. It will fit perfectly into a classic wedding ceremony. Often young ladies do not want to be too creative and extravagant. They want a classic white dress and a traditional style, but at least in some way the girl dreams of standing out.
In this case, a pink wedding bouquet would be an excellent option. It will emphasize individuality and make the image more dreamy and romantic. On the other hand, such a classic shade will in no way stand out from the overall picture.
Stylists advise paying attention to shades of similar colors. For example, a pastel and calm tone is suitable for young girls, but for older ladies it is better to pay attention to rich and deep tones.
