Fashion-First Bridal Bouquet Trends The Latest Trends in Wedding Flowers Create a Bouquet to Remember with Julie’s Flowers FAQs What Goes in a Traditional Wedding Bouquet? The tradition of carrying a bridal bouquet dates back to ancient times. Originally, brides actually carried aromatic herbs and spices like garlic, dill and rosemary to ward off evil spirits and symbolise fertility and new beginnings. Over time, the herbs and spices from a traditional bouquet were replaced by flowers as the language of flowers (or floriography) became popular. Some traditional flowers you would find in a bridal bouquet include: Roses representing love and passion Lilies symbolising purity and majesty Peonies representing prosperity and good fortune Baby’s breath symbolising innocence and purity of heart Carnations representing deep love and affection Hydrangeas symbolising gratitude and heartfelt emotion Stephanotis representing marital happiness Greenery like eucalyptus, ferns or ivy Nowadays, bridal bouquets are also seen as an extension to the bride’s entire outfit often encapsulating fashionable statements and personalisations as well as sentimental elements to the bride and family. So what are the latest trends in wedding flowers and how can you incorporate them into your wedding? Fashion-First Bridal Bouquet Trends Your first point of call when it comes to looking for inspiration is probably wedding websites and of course, social media. These sites offer a variety of styles and looks that can influence your bridal bouquet. So what’s the latest wedding flower trends in the fashion industry? Sustainability Comes First Sustainability has impacted all aspects of our lives and that even includes weddings! More and more couples are being more environmentally conscious when it comes to planning a wedding and flowers is another area where sustainability can come into play. By selecting in-season blooms and sourcing them locally, you can reduce your carbon footprint and support local businesses in your area. Free-flowing Blooms Wedding bouquets that give the impression of a flowing waterfall of flowers are at the height of fashion in 2025. These large bridal bouquets offer a natural look as they emphasise the unruly behaviour of nature while capturing the beauty of flowers. Popular flowers to choose for this look include orchids, hydrangeas and other small and delicate flowers. Curved Wedding Bouquets It’s not just about what type of flowers or colour you choose, it can also be the shape of the bouquet. Traditionally, bridal bouquets were neatly tied together into a bunch but why not think outside of the box and choose a curved bouquet? A curved bouquet has been a popular choice for some time now with its look mimicking a handbag. This alternative way of displaying your wedding bouquet draws your attention while still encapsulating all your favourite flowers and colours. Add a Pop of Colour You heard it here first, cherry red is the colour of the year! Red not only symbolises love, which is very apt for your wedding day, but it also offers a pop of colour to your otherwise white bridal gown. But, if red isn’t your favourite colour, why not stand out from the crowd and choose another vibrant shade? A bold colour is bound to make you stand out and give you a wedding bouquet to remember. It’s All About the Texture Modern bridal bouquets are no longer constrained to a simple bunch of flowers. Elements such as pearls, metallic chains and even personalised ornaments can be incorporated into your wedding bouquet to add a touch of personality and make your wedding look unforgettable. If you don’t want to go too out of the box, you could also choose from floral pieces that still offer textural elements such as Scabiosa Pods, Banksia and Artichoke Flowers. A Single Statement Flower Instead of a bunch of flowers, you could opt for a single statement flower. While it may be hard to choose one single flower, this bold statement offers a unique and modern bridal look. However, some flowers are better than others when it comes to a single statement flower. We recommend choosing from a single rose, one large King Proteas, a jumbo peony or even an Anthurium for an exotic wedding bouquet. Oversized Bouquets Following on from the fashion-forward look of oversized clothing, oversized bouquets are now at the top of everyone’s wishlist. But these oversized bouquets are not just made from a bigger bunch of flowers. They usually include flowers that are larger-than-life, offering a surreal look which can be great for photoshoots.

Who should buy the bride’s bouquet? Traditionally, the groom or the groom’s family purchases the bride’s bouquet as one of their wedding responsibilities.

Do I really need a wedding bouquet? Although a wedding bouquet is a traditional element of a wedding, it is certainly not mandatory for you to have one in your ceremony if it doesn’t align with your vision, priorities or wants.
