Flowers are indispensable at weddings as they help to liven up the atmosphere, and most brides in Singapore would probably agree that the bridal bouquet is the star of the event’s floral arrangement.
As it’s a bouquet you will be holding on to throughout the ceremony, it’s necessary that it not only complements your dress but also matches your wedding’s theme.
Here are four types of flowers to consider for your wedding bouquet in Singapore, and what kind of styles they will bring out.
Baby’s breath
Baby’s breath, symbolising everlasting love and purity, is an inexpensive and subtle way to add pizzazz to your bridal bouquet as well as wedding decor. This is a great option if your wedding theme is classic and minimalist, as the little flowers will not take the attention away from you and your partner. Baby’s breath can also be easily dyed, so you will have a wide variety of colours to choose from to go with your chosen theme.
Dahlias
Dahlias look similar to hydrangeas, but the pointed curves of the petals will add a chic look to your bridal bouquet, as compared to the latter. Dahlias come in a large selection of colours too, ranging from red to purple, blue, yellow and more, and look beautiful when paired with other rustic accompaniments such as eucalyptus. They are also generally associated with positivity, such as commitment, honesty and beauty - what better way to show your love for your partner than with this floral option when it comes to your wedding bouquet and decor? If you are unsure which would be the right colour for your theme, you can always consider getting a wedding decor package so the stylist will be able to guide you through the process.
Orchids
Orchids may be the last option on your mind (some say they look tacky), but don’t underestimate them as they are available in diverse blooms - giving you plenty of choices. They have also been coming back in trend, especially as a wedding bouquet, thanks to their soft-looking petals that are perfect for weddings with a romantic and vintage theme. The trick to nailing it is by choosing orchids in pastel or off-white shades that are versatile enough to go with all types of dresses and decorations.
Ranunculus
The shape and pattern of a ranunculus flower might remind you of roses, thus earning it the nickname “roses of spring”. The layers of petals are extremely delicate-looking, yet somehow showy just like roses - making the ranunculus great for an extravagant and whimsical wedding. Fun fact: people in Victorian times would give this to someone they were attracted to, symbolising charm and elegance. Using ranunculus in your bridal bouquet can signify you were dazzled by your partner’s charms - a sweet way to honour your other half on this important milestone in life.
