Red bouquet ideas for brides

One of the most popular colours for wedding flowers is red. Of course, the bride will want to ensure that her red bouquet will look absolutely amazing so it’s important to consider all of your options. Here are some of the best flower types and combinations to consider.

Red roses

When we think of a red bouquet, it’s quite easy to imagine roses. They are known for sending a romantic message for Valentine’s Day and for your anniversary. Red roses can be paired with other blooms or enjoyed all on their own. You can even choose to add foliage or go without because you cannot go wrong with these fine blooms.

Red and white

As briefly mentioned above, red roses look great on their own or when paired with other flowers. You can pair them with white blooms, for example, to create a white and red bouquet, Roses look lovely with carnations, various types of daisies, lilies and baby’s breath. You could even use red carnations with white roses, for example. Combining these two colours will have an amazing effect.

Flower waterfall

If you like the idea of a cascading arrangement, you can include several blooms like red roses, red alstromerias, carnations and arrange them in a way that they come trailing down towards the ground. Mix them up so that they show off different textures. You can also add some trailing foliage like ivy or another type of vine. This will create the perfect backdrop for your red bouquet.

Sparkle

No matter the style of your red bouquet, you can always add some sparkle by glueing beads to your blooms. You can insert a small gem in the middle of every flower or even every other flower if you feel like it’s too much shimmer and shine.

Mixed bouquet

If you want to really mix things up, you can combine several different red blooms. Make sure that you place the darker reds in the middle and the lighter reds around the outside. This ensures that the centre of your bouquet is the focal point of the red bouquet.

Now that you know just how many great red bouquet options are out there, you should start thinking about which one will suit your dress the best. Remember, if you have a simple wedding dress, your bouquet should not be too large. If you have a princess-style gown, you should have a larger, cascading bouquet.
