Bridal bouquet – the beginning of your fairytale

Bridal bouquets just the way you imagine

A bridal bouquet is as essential to a wedding as the dress, the vows or the kiss after saying “I do.” It adds colour, rhythm and personality to your look, while creating a subtle connection with the theme of your big day.

Because no two weddings are the same, our wedding flowers are available in a wide range of styles, tailored to your theme, colour palette and location, such as:

• Traditional bridal bouquets: combinations of beautiful white flowers and greenery, perfectly matching a white wedding dress

• Pastel bridal bouquets: soft, romantic tones that pair beautifully with white or beige dresses

• Wildflower-style bridal bouquets: more natural, playful flowers that stand out through their shapes and colours

• In terms of shape, there are also two main types:

• Classic bridal bouquets: upright, round arrangements with a clear focal point

• Modern bridal bouquets: horizontal, cascading or structured designs, sometimes with a flowing floral tail

Whatever your preference, we ensure that everything tells one harmonious story.

Order a bridal bouquet online – simple and reliable

In addition to other wedding flowers, you can easily order your bridal bouquet online. For weddings, we recommend ordering your bouquet one day in advance and having it delivered to your home or the ceremony location.

Forgot something last minute? If you place your order before 2 PM on weekdays (or before 1 PM on Saturdays), we can still deliver it the same day.

How to keep your bridal bouquet fresh

Once you’ve received your bouquet, it’s important to:

• Place it in a vase with water

• Keep it in a cool space to maintain freshness (note: tropical flowers should be kept above 13°C )

• Store it safely away from children and pets

The symbolism of a bridal bouquet: past and present

Today, bridal bouquets are admired for their beauty and creativity, but they also carry deep historical symbolism.

Roman times

The origins of the wedding bouquet date back to Roman times, when bouquets were made of strong-smelling herbs like garlic, chives and dill to ward off evil spirits, along with grains symbolising fertility.

19th century

In the Victorian era, herbs were largely replaced by flowers with symbolic meanings. The bouquet became more focused on love, with the rose playing a central role.

Today

Thanks to the wide variety of flowers available, florists can now perfectly tailor each bouquet to your wishes.

Today, a bridal bouquet symbolises love, unity and the beginning of a new chapter, with flowers and colours matched to your dress and wedding theme. At the same time, it still carries its original meaning: to protect, bless and support you as you walk towards the ceremony.

Which flowers and colours should you choose for a bridal bouquet?

Bridal bouquets come in all shapes and colours, but their meaning goes beyond aesthetics. Our florists carefully select flowers that match your story, style and emotion.

Popular flower choices include:

• Roses – symbolising love and elegance

• Peonies – ideal in spring, representing romance and prosperity

• Calla lilies – modern, sleek and timeless

• Lilies – purity and softness

• Ranunculus – refined and romantic

• Tulips – perfect for spring ceremonies, symbolising affection

• Sunflowers – warm and joyful for summer weddings

• Gypsophila – light and airy as a soft accent

The colour palette is chosen based on the overall picture:

• Your wedding dress or suit

• The outfits of bridesmaids and witnesses

• Table and venue decoration

• The theme of the day (romantic, boho, urban chic, classic, modern…)

From pure white to soft pastels, from blush tones to warm earthy colours - at Fleurop-Interflora, your bouquet becomes the highlight of your special day.

Wedding flowers – from ceremony to celebration

Beyond the bridal bouquet, flowers play a key role throughout your entire wedding styling:

• Boutonnieres for the groom and guests

• Mini bouquets for bridesmaids

• Flowers for flower children

• Table arrangements

• Entrance decorations for the venue or church

• Hanging floral installations

• Ceremony arches

By using the same colours and style throughout, you create a harmonious and unforgettable atmosphere for your wedding day.
