A little more about symbolism

The blue color attracts fragile, sophisticated girls who have sublime ideas about the world around them and their chosen one. They know how to be generous and not notice minor shortcomings. Moreover, fans of sky blue are incredibly charming and sincere; those around them are drawn to them, hoping to find support and receive wise advice.

Blue is also associated with the divine, innocence, purity and aristocracy. This is the color of true romantics, sincere and carefree, like children. For loving people, it means complete openness in relationships, trust, a promise to cherish tender feelings for each other, and mutuality of interests. For Hindus, rich heavenly shades symbolize motherhood and selfless love - these two concepts are inextricably linked in the Eastern tradition.

Plants for a wedding bouquet

The flowers from which it is composed also add their meaning to the wedding arrangement. With the right selection, you can get a real amulet for a young family. Here is just a small list of sky-blue plants that are used to create a floral accessory for the bride.

The best varieties for wedding arrangements

“Austins” seem to have been created to decorate the bride. But every girl has her own aesthetic preferences, and the style of the special event may impose restrictions on the color or shape of the buds. Once you get acquainted with the most popular varieties, it will be much easier to make a choice and create your ideal arrangement.

Flower symbolism

Here the “ostinki” are no different from other types of roses

They talk about love, and this is the most important thing for any couple starting their journey together. The color of the plant’s petals will tell you what shades this feeling is painted in.

The lighter the buds, the softer and thinner the invisible threads enveloping lovers, while bright, saturated colors indicate the strength and intensity of passion. Lilac flowers, in addition, symbolize ideal mutual understanding and family well-being.

It is generally accepted that Austin hybrids, due to their resemblance to peonies, acquire their magical properties. Therefore, they play the role of family amulets, protecting against any evil energies. In China, where the peony comes from, it is associated with wealth, prosperity, strength of relationships and fertility.

When to choose a bouquet in the color of the sky

Shades of ice and azure cannot be called classics of wedding floristry. Mono bouquets in this range are more suitable for a themed celebration, for example, fantasy or maritime. But in combination with more traditional colors - powdery, lilac, purple, the scope of azure arrangements expands significantly. They are “frequent guests” at events in Provence, rustic, European or shabby chic style.

A bride's bouquet in blue tones is appropriate:

1. If similar shades prevail in the wedding decor.
2. When the bride chooses the appropriate dress or accessories to go with it. If the outfit is made in rich colors: cornflower blue or azure, the floral arrangement should contain warm shades and white, otherwise the image will turn out to be too “cold” and distant. But when using light blue and in very limited quantities: a belt, head decorations, a cape, you can complement the image with a mono-bouquet.
3. In winter time. Not only fresh, but also hand-made flowers are suitable here, so the choice expands significantly. Bright blue roses and orchids will add a touch of exoticism and magic to your wedding accessory.

Seasonality

Floristry in unusual pastel turquoise, cornflower blue and aquamarine tones is appropriate not only during the cold season. With a few warm accents, it will fit perfectly into a summer wedding, and surrounded by delicate powdery flowers it will become the “highlight” of a spring celebration.

There are heavenly shades of warm and cold colors. In winter, the first option is preferable, in the hot season - the second. A light blue bouquet, reminiscent of the first snow, will emanate pleasant freshness. And the warm shades of azure and hyacinth will remind you of the tropical sea and sky on a sunny day, which is very appropriate in the cold season.

The only season when “heavenly” arrangements are almost never used is autumn. This is the time for gold, burgundy and terracotta colors, which do not harmonize well with blue.

Bride's color type

Azure shades are considered universal. The Pantone Institute distinguishes 119 tones from which you can choose those that suit any color type.

1. For “summer” girls, the following are recommended: blue-white, sky, hyacinth, topaz and pastel turquoise.
2. “Autumn”: soft blue, thrush egg color, gray, greenish and gray-greenish blue.
3. “Winter”: clear water color, electric blue, cyan, icy, aquamarine.
4. “Spring”: blue, cornflower blue, azure, turquoise.

The brighter the girl’s appearance, the softer and lighter the shades of blue should be, and vice versa, blondes of the “spring” type need richer, richer colors.

Photos of beautiful wedding bouquets in blue tones

Blue wedding bouquets look original if combined with the rest of the bride’s wardrobe and room decoration. First the dress is chosen, and only then the flowers. The shape of the bouquet depends on the girl’s figure, and the color must be in harmony with the overall theme of the celebration. An ideal choice for a wedding ceremony would be a blue or light blue floral ensemble. It will add tenderness and sensuality to the bride.

What is best to combine with

Mono-arrangements in sky and azure tones are used much less frequently than polychrome ones, where other, contrasting or nuanced shades are present. Blue is very sensitive to his surroundings and can change beyond recognition depending on his surroundings. The most common combinations are white, peach, soft pink, cream, green, blue and purple.

Compositions in white and blue colors

A traditional spherical arrangement or pomander will look great at a classical style celebration. The desired range is achieved using white roses, orchids or callas and hydrangea or muscari and delphinium in heavenly tones.

For an eco-style, a combination of peony roses with cornflowers, echeveria, some varieties of which have a bluish tint, and mordovnik is suitable. An excellent option is daisies and bells or ranunculus and muscari.

It is recommended to add greenery to a bridal bouquet in white and blue tones to soften the contrast and make it more picturesque.

What is remarkable about hydrangea

Japanese rose, as hydrangea is also called, is a magnificent flower that makes spectacular mono-bouquets. The floral arrangement looks good against the background of a white or light blue dress.

Hydrangea goes well with roses. A round bridal bouquet with blue hydrangea and cream rose looks both lush and formal. You can take two types of roses - small bush roses and large single-headed ones.

Instead of roses there may be peonies. A bouquet of them is perfect for a wedding in blue tones. Unopened spherical peony buds look especially beautiful. Hydrangeas are also combined with pink peonies, as well as pink callas.

White callas add rigor and solemnity to the bouquet. They are combined with white roses and hydrangea.

Hydrangea also goes well with other blue flowers, especially delphinium. Thanks to its non-standard shape, this flower allows you to create impressive three-dimensional compositions. And an exotic blue orchid will add luxury to the bouquet.

How to make a wedding arrangement in azure blue colors

Hydrangea is ideal for mono bouquets. From 2-3 inflorescences you can make a lush round composition that does not require any additions. When creating mixes, you need to limit the color range, otherwise the sky tones, as the main ones, will be lost. It is advisable to choose decor in blue tones to emphasize the color of the arrangement.

Cloud of tenderness: roses, hydrangea and muscari

The laconic composition looks very fresh due to the combination of exquisite roses and unassuming garden flowers.

• white single-headed goblet-shaped roses, two branches of large-leaved hydrangea, muscari, aspidistra leaves;
• pruning shears, scissors, stapler;
• medical cotton wool, food film;
• white satin fabric, the same ribbon, 5 cm wide, tailor's pins with a decorative head.

Let's prepare the plants: remove the thorns and leaves from the roses, and only the greens from the hydrangea. Muscari has a leafless peduncle. We fold the apsidistra and secure it with a stapler. This method of transforming greenery is trendy today.

We form the central part of the composition using two hydrangea inflorescences. Then we add pink buds, inserting them into a lush “cap” and distributing them around the perimeter. Be sure to rotate the arrangement so that the flowers are arranged evenly and symmetrically. If possible, we use a mirror - all the “flaws” of the assembly are clearly visible in it.

After the roses, add the muscari. Its “panicles” of a soft blue hue will dilute the intense azure of hydrangea and add airiness and lightness to the arrangement.

We create a decorative cuff from transformed aspidistra leaves. At the same time, secure the stems with tape. The assemblage point is high, the “cap” of the bouquet composition should be dense.

Hydrangea, or as it is called in Latin, hydrangea, is one of the plants that needs constant moisture. Therefore, its cut stems are wrapped with abundantly moistened cotton wool. The “neighbors” in the wedding arrangement would also benefit from such support. The cotton wool is wrapped in cling film, the ends of which are straightened and twisted around the stems.

From a square of satin fabric we make a wrapper for the bottom of the bouquet. In this way, we will hide the cotton wool soaked in water and give the arrangement a noble look. We secure the fabric with a rubber band and then with tape.

We wrap the stems along the entire length with a satin ribbon, fastening it at the top with pins. The wedding composition is ready. All that remains is to treat it with a spray to extend the life of cut flowers.

The result was a very impressive and stylish blue and white bridal bouquet. Final photo:

Elegant simplicity - solo hydrangea

Large-leaved hydrangea (macrophila) is one of the most popular plants in wedding floristry. If you want originality and simplicity, you should make a mono arrangement out of it. Macrophila has the unique property of changing color depending on the acidity of the soil. And since the inflorescences receive nutrition unevenly, differently colored specimens can be found on one bush, which looks amazing.

Florists especially love the Bailmer variety, which varies in gradient from soft pink to greenish blue. This is the hydrangea that will be used for the next arrangement.

• 5 branches of the Bailmer variety;
• pruning shears, tape;
• silk braid in light blue tone;
• pearl pins;
• narrow ribbon of bluish organza.

We clear the hydrangea branches from leaves and assemble them into an arrangement using the spiral technique. We fix the stems with tape. We outline the area where the decorative braid will be applied, forming the handle of the composition. We attach double-sided tape at the bottom and top points. We glue the beginning of our decorative braid to it, and then its end.

We tie a double organza bow. We cut out the ends of the ribbons figuratively and treat them with a lighter so that they do not fray. Use pruning shears to straighten the stems, leaving approximately 3 cm from the edge of the decorative tape. The total length of the handle should be equal to two palms of the bride - then the bouquet will be convenient to transfer and transfer.

Hydrangea should be kept in water as long as possible. Let the arrangement remain in the vase until the last minute, the main thing is that the ribbons do not get wet. During the wedding celebration, the accessory will also have to be “unsoldered” periodically. It is advisable to stock up on artificial flowers or purchase stabilized hydrangea.

Next in the photo is another version of a wedding bouquet in blue tones from hydrangea. This time the inflorescences are decorated with transparent beads, and the handle is decorated with a strict dark ribbon.

Cornflowers for a rustic wedding

It turns out that you can create very sophisticated bouquet compositions from simple field plants. A bright and original bouquet in blue will be a luxurious addition to the image of a bride who has chosen a rustic style for her wedding.

A blue bridal bouquet is one of the most optimal options, which looks favorable in the hands of the bride in any situation. Flowers of this excellent shade are combined with different species, resulting in beautiful compositions.

What are the rules when creating wedding bouquets of roses?

The most important thing when choosing colors is not to choose flowers of the same color as the wedding dress.

The bouquet should not merge with the dress; it, as a kind of accessory, should be the highlight of the outfit and attract the attention of others. In other words, if the dress is white, then it is better to choose a composition in a contrasting color or make it up from flowers of several shades. It is worth noting that you need to be careful when choosing white roses

If the dress is cream or a similar color, then it risks looking dirty against the background of flowers. Be careful! When designing a composition, you can use decorative elements similar to elements of your clothing, accessories, and interior. Regarding the dress, it is better to make the floral arrangement contrasting, that is, if the dress is narrow or modestly cut, then it can be ordered more voluminously, and if the dress is voluminous and airy, then it should be simpler. It is not recommended to combine more than three varieties in a bridal bouquet of roses, which cannot be said about other varieties of flowers and ornamental plants. The main thing is that it does not look ridiculous and is subordinate to the overall wedding style. But everything needs moderation. You need to be able to find a middle ground, make a composition such that it does not overshadow the bride’s dress and at the same time does not get lost against its background.

Of course, if it is difficult to solve this problem on your own, then you can always turn to florists and stylists for help, who will be happy to help you understand all the intricacies of flowers.

Forms of wedding bouquets

The most common type is the classic rounded model. It turns out this way due to short stems and lush buds. A miniature, neat model will look great in the hands of a short bride. They are quite simple to make and strong to use.

An unusual shape that is gaining popularity is the ball shape. For such compositions, a frame is made to which small flower buds are attached.

Yes, such compositions are not very common yet, but they are very convenient: you can attach them with a special bracelet to your wrist and not worry about accidentally losing them somewhere.

The cascade shape is usually chosen by tall girls. It consists of flowers of different lengths and is decorated with a large number of ribbons. This shape looks very sophisticated and is suitable for a classic wedding.

A bouquet-handbag or basket is rare, but looks quite impressive. From the name it is clear that this is a basket or handbag decorated with flowers.

This shape is not suitable for a traditional wedding, but rather for a themed one, and will also look best with a short wedding dress on a girl of average height.

In fact, there are many more different forms of wedding compositions; here are the most successful options. But undoubtedly, the choice of each bride is individual and it will be special in its own way.
