Peonies, Calla Lilies & More: Stunning One-Flower Wedding Bouquets

Meg and Brendan Wedding – Bridal Bouquet – Brooklyn Botanic Garden – Jaymo Jaymes

Finding your bridal style is an exciting journey and how a woman arrives at hers is deeply personal. While some brides may have envisioned their veil-to-train look long before hearing the proposal, others find their style unfolding in real time, learning more about themselves with every choice they make. Which brings us to the next important decision: selecting your wedding bouquet.

Scrolling through inspiration on Instagram and Pinterest often reveals bouquets overflowing with an array of flowers, fillers, and lush greenery. While these abundant arrangements are undeniably eye-catching on social media, they don’t resonate with every bride. For clients seeking a more distinctive alternative, we often suggest focusing on a single variety of flower. The appeal of a mono-floral bouquet lies in its quiet confidence – it reflects an aesthetic sensibility guided by personal taste rather than passing trends.

More than anything, your wedding colors set the tone for your big day, shaping the atmosphere and ensuring the celebration feels cohesive and reflective of your personal style. It’s no surprise that so many of our clients are embracing earth tone wedding palettes now. Warm, romantic, and effortlessly versatile, these neutral hues create a sense of calm and quiet sophistication.

Inspired by the natural world – think layered greens and rich browns of a forest, or the terracotta and sandy blush tones of the desert – earthy schemes bring depth and dimension to a design. Once primarily associated with a bohemian aesthetic, today’s “earth-toned” florals feel far more refined. Through unexpected details, thoughtful styling, and layered textures, we create pin-worthy bouquets, ceremony installations, and centerpieces that feel modern yet timeless, elevated yet inviting.

For many of our brides, the wedding bouquet is the defining element that inspires the rest of their floral decor. It is no secret then that we love designing handheld arrangements – not only essential from a planning standpoint, they are a deeply symbolic expression of a woman’s style and personality. And for this reason, it should appear as though she is carrying the arrangement, not the other way around.

Choosing blooms that make an impression while accentuating a bride’s ensemble instead of distracting from it can be challenging. At this point, we’d like to turn the conversation to the long-stemmed wedding bouquet. What’s so exciting (and surprising!) about the featured designs is how they read as dramatic but not overly bold, polished but not overly restrained. Read on for long-stemmed wedding bouquet ideas for the classic bride.

The candelabra has been lighting up tablescapes for centuries. Purely functional at the beginning, they transformed into ornate, gilded displays trimmed with flowers and fruit covering tables at lavish dinners and special events. Elegantly spectacular, it’s no wonder that couples today are still choosing to incorporate the candelabra centerpiece into their wedding reception decor.

What’s so attractive about the candelabra is the Old-World allure that it brings to wedding decor. It’s a distinctive aesthetic however and may not work if you lean toward a chicer and simpler look. The question then is can you still have the same sky-high luminosity at dinner, but without the baroque excess and frills? Looking back on our favorite wedding decor trends for 2024, we are happy to say that it’s absolutely possible.
