The walk down the aisle is one of the most definitive moments of your wedding.
From the second you meet your partner’s
eyes and hold each other’s gaze while you gracefully stride down the aisle,
you’d want everything to be perfect. This is the moment you’d wish to
immortalise: from donning on the ideal dress, to getting dolled up with the best make-up services and finally, nailing that gorgeous wedding bouquet to complete your look!
Often overlooked, the wedding bouquet you’ll be carrying down the aisle can be an important accessory to the bridal look. While traditional, classic bouquets with gorgeous white lilies and romantic red roses have always been a safe option, to immortalise the moment truly, how about customising a bouquet that’ll make your personality shine through?
It’s time to take a look at some of the most exciting wedding bouquet trends that have caught the eyes of many in 2021 so far.
Play with Unorthodox Shapes and Textures

While the posy bouquet’s uniform shape
and size is a popular classic that will never go wrong, consider designing a unique arrangement that you can truly
call your own. To customise a beautiful bouquet just the way you like it, speak with your florist who will be
able to bring your ideal floral arrangement to life.
Hand-tied bouquets

And among the many floral arrangements,
one that has been adored by countless brides this year is the asymmetrical nature of some hand-tied bouquets. For this special
bouquet, you’ll be varying the height of your flowers to add some interest to
the overall shape of your bouquet. Also, consider incorporating ferns or
concentrating some larger blooms on one side.

But, if that those ideas don’t fit with
your intended style or theme, how about modelling
your bouquet after the shape of a crescent moon? A crescent bouquet creates
a beautifully symmetrical look with a rounded arch, while simultaneously adding
a quirky touch with its curved edges to draw attention to your hands and waist.
This would work especially well if you are looking to show off your sparkling wedding
ring or freshly
manicured nails!
Classy
silk ribbon
Also, don’t underestimate the power of varying textures and materials that can
make or break your bouquet. Silk ribbons may be popular for their classy and
polished appearance, but why not consider an understated, translucent piece of
tulle over your floral tape! Be adventurous to experiment with a variety of
fabrics and even other embellishments like cascading ribbons.
Experiment with Unique Colour Palettes

White and pink with accents of red have been a go-to for bridal bouquets. This classic colour combination is something you definitely can’t go wrong with. Undeniably, it makes a stunning bouquet with shades of ivory and pastel pinks peppered with romantic red elements.
Cafe
Au Lait Dahlias
However, this year, it’s become a trend
to accommodate both sides of the spectrum. This includes matching subdued Earth
tones with bold colours. Complement your elegant dress with a bouquet that
features a stunning cafe au lait dahlia as the centrepiece. The large and
sturdy bloom carries a pretty shade of cream with coffee undertones and
transitions into either a deeper brown or muted blush pink. Pair it with
smaller brown blooms like tiny antler orchids — your bouquet is sure to catch
the eyes and hearts of many!
Sundaze
Blaze Strawflower
And if you’re looking for something
bolder, an effortless choice is to pair
shades of orange with red. For instance, the sundaze blaze strawflower is
dearly loved with its striking tiger orange petals and sunflower yellow centre.
But, if an orange bouquet is out of your comfort zone, you can still include
that pop of colour with the next tip!

Place a large neutral flower in the centre, such as a classic white lily,
and match that with a few orange daisies or apricot coloured ribbons that will
help your focal piece stand out.
Less is More with a Minimalist, Miniature Bouquet

Is budget a concern? If yes, fret not,
you don’t have to forego the beauty of your wedding bouquet if you are looking
to cut costs.
This year, single flower bouquets are all the rage. Dainty hydrangeas are a
cost-effective option, and they come in pretty much any shade imaginable — from
white and lilac to even blue and yellow. A few dainty hydrangeas easily mimic
an extravagant bouquet because of their full and rounded shape!
Assortments of Baby’s Breath

And for those of you who prefer
something on the quirky side, how about mixing
a variety of miniature flowers? Leverage on baby’s breath as the perfect
neutral base to help your other flowers shine. Perhaps you can even consider
experimenting with a lush bouquet of eucalyptus and sage against a wedding
palette that features shades of olive and mahogany.
Smoothening the Process
With so many options, don’t be afraid to
experiment with colours, textures, and sizes for your wedding bouquet. And more
importantly, communicate with your florist so they can turn your ideal blooms
into a reality. The wedding bouquet is both a decorative piece and an accessory
to your dress as you walk down the aisle, so don’t underestimate its
importance!
