One variety is all you need to make a modern statement.
A bridal bouquet is not merely a collection of flowers; it is a symbol of beauty, love, and the unique essence of a bride on her special day. Each flower chosen for a bridal bouquet carries its own significance, creating a harmonious blend that reflects the bride’s personality and the celebration of love. In this exquisite array, we explore the captivating allure of single-flower bridal bouquets, each representing a distinct charm and character.
Though classic, romantic wedding bouquets will always be in style, it’s been exciting to watch how modern brides bring the traditional floral accessory into the here and now. If we’ve noticed anything about the contemporary wedding bouquets of late, it’s that they’ve trended towards the uniform. We’re talking simple, same-throughout arrangements that feel unfussy and chic. Just take monochromatic bouquets, for instance—comprised of blooms in just one colour (or a same-hue gradient), clutches felt instantly upgraded and intentionally modern.
Single-flower wedding bouquets take that trend one step further.
More and more brides are carrying bunches comprised entirely of the same type of flower.
The resulting look is a streamlined arrangement that feels simultaneously contemporary and classic. It’s true—these same-bloom styles appeal to both traditional and modern brides-to-be, alike.
The difference in style really comes down to flower type. A bouquet made out of all-white roses or pretty pink peonies feels decidedly traditional, while bushels of sleek calla lilies feel distinctly fresh and unique.
That’s the best part about this bouquet style—it’s incredibly versatile. In some ways, though, same-flower wedding bouquets go beyond categories like “classic” and “modern.” They’re not just an arrangement of blooms your florist thinks works together: they’re a simple collection of a floral you (and you alone!) truly love. If you couldn’t imagine holding any other bloom but your favourite on your wedding day, the following single-flower style is definitely for you.
