Single-shade Summer Wedding Bouquets

Grouping together different kinds of flowers in the same shade (or same general colour spectrum) always looks ultra-chic and coordinated. For a really beautiful, ethereal white wedding, you can opt for all white flowers, with white wrapped stems. Even if you balance out the more expensive blooms like roses and lilies with daisies and carnations, the look is still luxuriously pretty.

Rustic Chic Summer Wedding

So many couples opt to take their weddings outdoors in the summertime, and there’s nothing quite as pretty as a garden wedding in the sunshine (oh, bliss!)

It’s a great theme for the budget-conscious bride, as you can build the whole decor around a ‘natural’, home-made theme. For your summer bridal bouquets, eschew the exotic and go for simple blooms that can be found in the garden, like daisies, dahlias, and and sweetspire.

Cool Contrasts for Summer Wedding

Want a bridal bouquet that really stands out?

Pick two (or three!) colours that contrast really well with each other, and watch the combo pop! White is great for contrasting with deeper colors like dark red, navy blue or purple, or you could pick two bright colors that set each other off against a light-colored dress!
