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.

If we had to sum up the Real BB Weddings of 2025 in a single word, it would be surprise. What began as visions saved to Pinterest boards, Instagram folders, and iPhone notes blossomed into once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, blending luxury florals, thoughtful design, and intentional styling with deeply personal details to create singular, heartfelt experiences for newlyweds, guests, and vendors alike.

We were especially delighted to see timeless mainstays – white florals and lush greenery, candelabra décor, and classic black-tie aesthetics – reimagined in bold and unexpected ways. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or by the book. It’s never lost on us that we play a role in telling each couple’s love story, creating a floral backdrop for the first chapter of many still to come. Join us as we look back on these breathtaking moments from the Real BB Weddings of 2025.

Sugar Flower Wedding Cakes: Masterpiece Desserts Inspired By Bride & Blossom Centerpieces

As wedding floral designers, what we are about to say may sound controversial – at first. We do support using fake flowers as decoration, but only as long as they are made of sugar. We would be in obvious denial to not recognize the artistry and allure of the sugar flowers topping wedding cakes specially made for our couples. These blooming confections are so lively, rich, and detailed, they fool even the most trained eye.

Julia & Nick: A Timeless Affair at the Metropolitan Club

Julia and Nick Wedding – Chuppah – Metropolitan Club – Todd France Photography

Julia and Nick met in 2016 during what they now refer to as ‘The Summer of Love.’ “I was getting ready for my senior year at the University of Michigan. I had an internship at Booz Allen Hamilton in Washington D.C. and found a sublet to stay at with some girls from George Washington University,” Julia remembers. The night after she moved in, her new roommate invited her to a house party across the street. New to the city and up for meeting people, she gladly accepted. “I walked in and quickly realized I was an outsider. Everyone knew each other and went to GWU,” Julia says. She would also learn that the house they were at was nicknamed ‘The Barn’ and among its residents was Nick, a soon-to-be senior interning at a lobbying firm. Nick was immediately drawn to Julia – they ended up talking the whole night and said ‘goodbye’ by exchanging numbers.
