The white rose bridal bouquet is less common than many of the other coloured rose bouquets, primarily because many brides are married in either white or off-white and therefore a white rose bridal bouquet would blend in too much and not create the striking image which many brides are looking for.
When Does The White Rose Bridal Bouquet Work?
A white rose bridal bouquet will be successful if the bridal gown is not white or off-white. The white rose bridal bouquet can include other colours by using a coloured ribbon on the stems.
Styles Of A White Rose Bridal Bouquet
There are two basic styles of bridal bouquets, a softer more romantic look of a hand tied bouquet or the more formal structure of a bouquet where the flowers are placed to form a shape, usually a sphere. If you are wearing a suit and want to continue the formal look then a structured white rose bridal bouquet may be appropriate, however, if you want to soften the look then a simple bouquet with long ribbon ties may be better. If you are already wearing a more relaxed outfit then you still have the options of either the hand tied or structured bouquet. If you are going for a floral headdress then you may find that the structured bouquet does not fit with the whole ensemble, and that the more natural look of flowers just gathered may be a better choice.
How To Theme Your White Rose Bridal Bouquet Through The Reception Flowers
Usually a bride will choose a theme to base the reception decorations on, this is usually linked to the bridal bouquet. If you have chosen a white rose bridal bouquet, it would be obvious to continue this with the wedding cake as white flowers, whether icing, real or silk will look stunning on any wedding cake. However, do you want to have all the table arrangements along the same theme? There are several possibilities here. If you are having white linen on the tables then you do not want the flower arrangements to blend in and not be noticed, so you will probably be best choosing coloured flowers for the table or you could choose to have a coloured table cloth and then have white flowers and white napkins, this would create a striking picture as the guests enter the reception.
Choosing The Flowers For The Church Or Ceremony Setting.
If you are decorating the isle down which the bride will walk then you will need to consider the colours already present in the room and work the flower around your white rose bridal bouquet, the bridesmaids' outfits and the colours of the flooring and seats at the ceremony.
The Bridesmaids And Flower Girl Flowers.
If you are going for a white rose bridal bouquet, then you can continue this with the flower girls and bridesmaids. Usually their dresses will be coloured or patterned material, so to have white roses or rosebuds in either their hair or their bouquets would look lovely.
