Types of Destin Wedding Bouquets

What’s the difference between all the different types of wedding bouquets? What kinds of arrangements do you need for your wedding? What’s the best type of flowers for a beach wedding? Here are some things to consider with your florist in Destin:

Round Elegant Bouquets

Roses are traditional for a round style bouquet but a budget friendly tip is to incorporate hydrangeas as a base. There area also some new varieties of David Austin Garden Roses that are breathtaking. Peonies are also beautiful and romantic. You can also add greenery for a softer, fuller look. The possibilities are endless with colors and textures.

Garden Style Bouquets

Garden-style bouquets blossom with romance and elegance. Garden roses and eonies add even more to the romance. Throughout your mix of flowers, you’ll want greenery and texture. Hypericum berries, succulents, astilbe and dahlias can all add texture. Add height with stock, orchids, lisianthus, etc. Consider a whimsical touch with billy balls, queen anne’s lace, baby’s breath, scabiosa pod, button poms, dianthus, and silver brunai.

Cascading Bouquets

Best known for their long shape that comes to a point, cascading bouquets add a sense of drama and elegance. These fragile bouquets can be more expensive due to the additional labor and care that is required to craft them. Cascading bouquets are available in every style, using a variety of fresh blooms and lush greenery.

Tropical Style Bouquets

For Florida destination beach weddings, tropical blooms not only offer bright colors but can withstand humidity and heat from the beach. Think Orchids, Birds of Paradise, Red Ginger, Pin Cushions protea, etc.

Boutonnieres

When choosing ribbon color/flower color, think about what the groomsmen and bridesmaids are wearing and coordinate accordingly. Use natural colors in your flowers, bringing in unnatural, accent colors (navy, turquoise, vibrant colors, etc.) through ribbon and linen.
