Such bouquets are considered classic wedding bouquets, since the white color represents the occasion of the celebration, but the luxurious flowers themselves have long become fashionable for brides all over the world. Before contacting a florist salon for the necessary bouquet of roses, you should find out some of the nuances of this choice, as well as consider various flower arrangements and expert advice.
Symbolism
Before choosing a particular flower for a wedding bouquet, it is very important to know its meaning, since some experts do not recommend adding certain flowers and greens to flower arrangements for some celebrations. Of course, this can be a commonplace superstition, but many ladies listen to this.
It is not for nothing that the white rose is considered primordially wedding. The fact is that this beautiful flower in many countries and among many peoples of the world personifies pure and boundless love, sincerity and loyalty. White buds represent true feelings and perfect relationships.
We can safely say that a white rose is a universal flower that will not spoil any holiday, and a skillfully assembled bouquet of roses will definitely suit any wedding style.
Which brides are suitable for?
Bouquets of white roses can be very different, but they have one thing in common - beauty.This kind of bouquet, as a rule, is chosen by strong-willed girls and women, as well as representatives of the fair sex who want to highlight their image. White flowers are perfect for very young brides as they highlight their tenderness and innocence.
Registration
Today floristic salons offer various design options for wedding bouquets that use white roses.
- Hemispherical and spherical options. These bouquets are considered classic. In them, the flowers are laid as tightly as possible to each other.
- Cascading flower arrangements. They can be of different lengths, up to the bride's legs. The length should definitely be discussed with the florist, since bouquets of this type, as a rule, are suitable only for slender and tall ladies.
- Fan-shaped. These bouquets are intended for lovers of Asian and Oriental motives.
- In the form of a clutch. Many couples choose this option for their winter wedding.
The correct choice of a bouquet should depend on the personal preferences of the bride, the style of the wedding and the convenience during the ceremony, since, for example, a cascading bouquet of white roses and orchids is very fragile and should be worn very carefully.
Combination with other shades and colors
The big advantage of roses is that you can create a luxurious mono-bouquet from them, without wasting efforts to select other flowers for it. Nevertheless, roses get along well in one composition with many other flowers and even berries.
To create a feminine bouquet, florists prefer to use half-opened or still closed rosebuds. Buds look different, especially when combined with other flowers. For mixed bouquets with the presence of white roses, flowers of a wide variety of types and shades are suitable.
- Chrysanthemums are considered very unusual and charming flowers, and therefore they are best combined with white peony roses or spray roses. Special attention should be paid to bouquets with brightly colored chrysanthemums.
For example, burgundy chrysanthemums go well with white roses.
- Irises of different shades. These flowers go well with white roses. The classic semicircular bouquet of the whitest roses and deep blue or red irises looks especially impressive and original; usually, to achieve additional volume, additional decorative greenery is added to such bouquets, depending on the desired result. As a rule, irises bloom in late spring and early summer, so it is difficult to place them in a bridal bouquet in winter. Not all greenhouses are engaged in growing them during the cold season.
- White roses go well with beautiful hydrangeas. Moreover, the latter can be both blue and pale pink. Hydrangeas look very sophisticated, almost nowhere is there any information about bad omens regarding this flower. On the contrary, it is very often recommended for creating wedding compositions for its peculiar airiness.
- Small semicircular bouquets with white roses and peonies look especially delicate. As a rule, white peonies, pale pink and peach peonies are also chosen in such a composition. So that the bouquet does not seem boring, and the flowers do not merge with each other, florists add aspidistra twigs, gypsophila and ruscus leaves to it.
- White roses can also harmonize well with ranunculus, gerberas, calla lilies and lilies.
- Florists combine luxurious orchids and eustomas with white roses to create the perfect beauty. As a rule, cascading, that is, hanging bouquets are created.
- You can get a very delicate color composition by adding anemones and freesias to miniature white roses.
- Recently, florists have been creating unusual color wedding compositions, in which, in addition to white roses, succulents are added. These bouquets are especially suitable for themed weddings or weddings with a certain style.White roses are favorably played with green succulents and decorative greenery, due to which the bouquet is stunning and original.
Combination with dress and accessories
It is very important that the bouquet complements the bride's image as much as possible, and does not contradict it and does not merge with it. So, many professionals are sure that the more decor on a wedding dress, including stones, rhinestones and lace, the less modest the bouquet should be. And of course the opposite. Otherwise, you may end up with a very colorful and oversaturated image.
Since white bouquets are considered universal, they are perfect for various styles of dresses: for short, and for long, and for lush and fitted.
To prevent the bouquet from merging with the white outfit, it is very important to dilute it with decorative greenery. But if the dress is not entirely snow-white, but, for example, milky, then you can safely choose the whitest mono-bouquet.
White roses are especially in harmony with brides who have blond or light brown hair. Photos of such beauties are amazing. Sometimes stylists use real roses even as an addition to their hairstyle, weaving them into braids.
Tips from stylists and florists
Today's florists easily keep pace with the times, creating luxurious bouquets even in small cities of our country. Almost everywhere you can order luxurious bouquets of roses with the addition of rare exotic flowers. The main thing is to contact trusted florists who will not completely copy the finished bouquet from the picture, but will take into account all the wishes of the bride, pay attention to the future wedding style, dress, details and make a unique composition. Such a bouquet should be one of a kind.
In addition to choosing flowers, brides also have to think about the decor for the bouquet. As a rule, today paper is no longer used for packaging bouquets, although sometimes there are such cases. But this option is already outdated, so it should not be prioritized. When it comes to choosing a ribbon, it is better to focus on the silk version. It looks more presentable and laconic. The color of the ribbon should be chosen based on the entire color spectrum of the selected bouquet.
Stylists recommend paying attention to the smell of roses. Depending on the variety, it can be very intense and intense, or it can be moderate. The bouquet should not interrupt the smell of the bride's perfume.
Sometimes white roses are complemented with berries, feathers, lace and rhinestones. Nevertheless, you have to be very careful with all such elements, sometimes it is better to make a mono-bouquet with no frills. There is a very fine line between beauty and tastelessness.
How to do it yourself
Despite the fact that the easiest way to create a wedding bouquet is to contact a flower salon, some representatives of the fair sex want to take everything into their own hands and put a piece of themselves into the flower beauty. To create a wedding bouquet you will need:
- white roses (usually they take seven to fifteen pieces, if spray roses are used, then the number of miniature flowers can be increased);
- calla lilies, chrysanthemums, rununculus, freesias and ornamental foliage can be used as additional colors for a flower arrangement;
- it is imperative to purchase a special portbouquet holder in which the flowers will fit;
- tape of the desired shade.
Before you start placing roses and other flowers in the bouquet, they should be pruned.
When assembling, you need to remove all excess leaves so that they do not stick out in all directions. When creating and laying a flower arrangement, it is very important to constantly monitor its shape. As a rule, white roses are laid in a semicircle or hemisphere. The base of the bouquet should be made of small flowers and buds, but in the middle it is better to place large flowers. You can create a wedding bouquet at home, making every effort, love and imagination.
