The rose is the most iconic flower, often synonymous with love and romance. Interestingly, there are two types of brides: those who adore them and those who find them too traditional. However, when the second group learns about the various types and the different bouquet arrangements, they usually end up loving them and developing a deep appreciation for roses. Not to mention their enchanting fragrance!
Roses come in many varieties, differing in size, color, and overall presence. For instance, there are English roses, also known as garden roses, which boast an abundance of petals reminiscent of peonies. On the other end, you have the delicate classic rose with its minimalistic elegance and fewer petals. The final aesthetic also hinges on how the roses are treated and arranged. They can be left closed or semi-closed, allowed to open naturally, or meticulously hand-opened petal by petal.
If you’re a fan of minimalism, consider a single stem of the opulent David Austin rose, or the delicate and sophisticated white O’Hara rose instead of a traditional bouquet. Bohemian brides can infuse roses into their wedding bouquet by layering them with dark or green-hued flowers and adding elements like succulents, dried flowers, berries, and trailing greenery. The result is a remarkably sultry and textured arrangement.
With their stunning array of colors, shapes, and textures, there are countless ways to incorporate this timeless flower into your bridal bouquet. Here, we present some exquisite rose bouquets expertly crafted by the talented Italian team at Motif Floral.
