The rose is one of the most beautiful flowers, whose royal grace and subtle elegant aroma delight others and are a decoration for any holiday. But how will the queen of the garden combine with other plants and what color of roses
Not everyone knows what is the best choice for a certain event.
What can you combine with?
It is believed that the rose is a universal and classic flower that perfectly complements any bouquet. However, even in the case of such an elegant plant, there is a rule: the flowers must be in harmony with each other in shade so that the composition looks seamless.
The most profitable combinations look like those that include:
- lilac;
- orchids;
- feces;
- peonies;
- hydrangeas;
- lilies;
- lavender.
Surprisingly, roses look good even with wildflowers, and you can complement the bouquet with fresh greenery, such as:
- fern leaves;
- twigs of robelini palm;
- Ruskus.
What flowers can complement a bouquet?
Mono bouquets look beautiful, but are not suitable for every bride or wedding style. To make the composition look impressive, original and unusual, it is worth adding roses with other flowers. They can be the same shade, contrasting or complimentary.
Daisies
If country, boho, rustic or modern styles are chosen for the holiday, a floral arrangement of roses can be supplemented with daisies. These simple flowers contrast effectively with exquisite roses and add freshness and lightness to the bouquet.
You can also, instead of classic daisies, pay attention to gerberas, sunflowers or craspedias, and wildflowers will complement the composition and give it volume.
To make the bouquet look lively and natural, you should add greenery to the yellow color. These can be the leaves of the plants themselves, as well as decorative inserts such as aspidistra.
Chrysanthemums
If the bride wants to go to the altar with a lush bouquet, she should pay attention to the combination of roses and chrysanthemums. These flowers can complement each other, highlight texture and charm. Both plants can be yellow, but you can also choose them in contrasting shades or even in pairs.
The size of the buds may be the same or different. It all depends on the chosen shape and style of the bouquet. For example, the combination of large chrysanthemums with small roses looks interesting.
Craspedia
The Australian flower Craspedia has already managed to win the hearts of brides and wedding florists. Small spherical buds of rich yellow color are used as accents. They can be combined with roses to make the bouquet more juicy and dense. A bride with such a bouquet will look playful but sophisticated.
For more textured compositions, it is worth considering the possibility of adding succulents, greenery, gypsophila, as well as companion flowers (daisies, peonies) to the bouquet.
Craspedia is a persistent plant whose inflorescences retain their appearance for a long time.
Eustoma
Eustoma in floristry is considered a symbol of youth. A bouquet with such flowers is suitable for young brides, emphasizing the charm of the image and sophistication.
The note! The flower represents tender love, happiness and fun, as well as strong feelings and harmony.
Florists love to combine roses and eustomas in wedding bouquets. Lush compositions look at the same time touching and tender, but at the same time elegant and refined. This bouquet is well suited for a classic celebration. You can play with contrast by complementing yellow rosebuds with bright blue, pale blue or white eustomas.

Lavender
It is believed that sprigs of lavender will bring happiness to newlyweds. This flower is associated with purity and nobility. Inflorescences decorate not only bouquets in the hands of the bride, but also her dress and veil.
Yellow roses will be highlighted with purple branches of lavender. The latter will give the composition a special charm and charm. Roses can be on long stems with large buds or bush roses with small ones.
You can complement such bouquets with orchids, which will make the composition luxurious.
Irises
Bright irises go perfectly with roses of any variety. These bouquets are suitable for spring weddings.
In floristry, it is not customary to decorate bouquets with irises with a net. But if roses are used in the composition, this ban is lifted.
The basis of the bouquet will be roses. Yellow buds will be complemented by blue or purple irises, the petals of which may have a speckled pattern. Irises can be white or blue. You can also make a monochrome yellow bouquet. An interesting option would be an inversion, using yellow irises and blue roses.
Lilies
Another queen of the flower ball is the lily. Monochrome compositions with her and a rose look amazing. They are suitable for a luxurious wedding in a classic, glamorous or elegant style.
At the same time, when composing a composition, you can choose the leading flower from these two or create harmony without any favorites. At the same time, roses of absolutely any variety are combined with lilies, so there are a great many options for bouquets.
Since both flowers are capricious, after the wedding the bouquet will have to be divided by placing roses and lilies in different vases.
Freesia
Freesia is considered a symbol of fidelity, so its use in a wedding bouquet is fully justified. The flower has an amazing aroma that, in combination with roses, will captivate all guests.
In Italy, there is an old tradition according to which the bouquet of a girl getting married must certainly consist of freesias.
The composition can be either monochrome or combined. For example, you can create a lush Biedermeier bouquet using roses and freesias in two similar colors, such as yellow and white. A yellow-blue bridal bouquet containing roses, as well as freesias of different tones of yellow and blue will also look beautiful. If the combination seems too bright, it can be diluted with the same white buds.
What colors go with white roses?
It has long been believed that white color symbolizes purity of soul and youth of heart. Bouquets of white roses
Brides and young girls adore it.
The combination of pink buds with wildflowers looks very natural, and combinations with delicate white lilies and orchids highlight the tenderness and fragility of the rose. An original solution would also be to add shades of blue and light blue to the composition: for example, hydrangeas or bells.
