When you're considering roses, please don't refer to The Bachelor's one red-rose! Roses come in so many different colours and sizes, they will be hard to resist including them in your bridal bouquet. A popular choice for the modern wedding bouquet, is the mixture of large & fluffy dusty pink & white roses!

Peonie bouquets are definitely one of the most popular choices for a bride-to-be. Everyone adores them (um, how could you not), but they are one of the more expensive flowers out there. They are so big and so fluffy, with so many colours to choose from, that they simply bring joy to all our wedding-obsessed faces!
Ask your local wedding florist for a quote and I'm sure they will be able to work the peony in around your budget.

Native Wedding Flowers
See this big beautiful feature flower, she's called the "King Proteas", and they're often confused for an Australian native flower, but they are originally from South Africa. Nevertheless, they are gorgeous and a show-stopper, available in both pink and white.

Small Wedding Bouquets
Small floral bouquets (also known as a posy bouquet) generally have a few stems of flowers, but can be so effective! You can still show a multitude of beautiful colours with a variety of flowers, but you won't be left with a dead arm carrying a super heavy wedding bouquet all day!
Posy Bouquet
A posy bouquet is a small bouquet, but more the classic style and round in shape. The stems are generally cut to the same length and little to no foliage at all. It's for the bride who is set on a romantic and traditional style, which we of course adore!

Foliage Wedding Bouquets
The colour green has such a calming feel, so we don't blame you for failing in love with the Foliage Wedding Bouquets! It can often be a less expensive option too!
Asymmetrical Bouquets
This has become a really popular option when selecting your wedding bouquet. It's generally a flower bouquet that isn't symmetrical, and a little bit lop-sided, but in the most beautiful way! It generally a mix of foliage of fresh flowers, giving your local wedding florist, more options for some serious floral-art!
Cascading Bouquets
If you are obsessed with flowers and you want your wedding bouquet to be a serious feature at your wedding, then you can't go past the cascading bouquet that naturally sits like a waterfall. The cascading style tend to be a larger wedding bouquet, and combines a range of foliage and big beautiful blooms, like the orchid.
Long Stem Bouquets
Wedding bouquets with the long stem are definitely making a mark in wedding-land! Definitely a popular option for the modern bride and particularly featured with roses.
