Bridal bouquet ideas for summer
Bright bridal bouquets: bold and fun
Nothing says summer like a burst of bright colours! If you're a bride who loves bold, joyful vibes, then a bright floral bouquet packed with roses, gerberas, and hot pink chrysanthemums is the way to go. These bright and cheerful flowers will pop against the natural Australian landscape and add a splash of sunshine to your ceremony.
Perfect for a fun, relaxed, outdoor summer wedding. Imagine a garden, picnic, or vineyard venue where the sun is shining, and the sky is a perfect blue.
The bold hues of your bouquet will contrast beautifully with a white or ivory gown, creating a fresh and vibrant look. This bridal bouquet is a gorg’ choice for brides who want to make a fun, confident statement!
Neutral-coloured bridal bouquets: traditional and elegant
Neutral flower bouquets are all about understated elegance. Think white chrysanthemums, ivory roses, cream peonies, and delicate lilies - all tied together with soft greenery like blue gum foliage.
This style creates a serene and sophisticated feel that is both classic and timeless. The soft whites and creams won’t steal the show but instead, perfectly complement your bridal look.
A neutral bouquet is perfect for a traditional or formal wedding theme. Picture a grand, classic venue like a historic hall or church, where your bouquet adds a subtle touch of nature and elegance. This bouquet style is also ideal for brides who love minimalism and want their dress (and their love) to do all the talking.
Native bridal bouquets: rustic and unique
If you're looking for something that screams fun and adventurous, go native! Bouquets filled with king proteas, blue gum and banksias offer something truly special.
Native arrangements add unique textures and earthy tones and better yet, they will withstand the South Australian summer heat, making them perfect for an outdoor wedding.
Native bouquets are a match made in heaven for a boho-chic or rustic wedding theme. Think of a beautiful farm or forest venue, where you’re surrounded by the natural landscape.
Native flowers are hardy, symbolising strength and resilience - qualities that make for a lasting marriage, don't you think? Plus, they add an earthy, grounded vibe that pairs perfectly with a flowing wedding gown and a messy (but perfect) updo.
Pastel bridal Bouquets: dreamy and soft
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s straight out of a fairytale, a pastel bouquet is your go-to. With soft blush roses, pale pink peonies, lavender lisianthus, and delicate baby’s breath, these bouquets feel light, airy, and effortlessly romantic.
Pastel flower arrangements are perfect for adding a dreamy touch to your summer wedding, especially against the backdrop of South Australia's natural beauty.
These bouquets are perfect for a romantic or garden wedding theme. Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by blooming flowers in a lush garden setting or beneath a gorgeous arbour. The soft pastel shades will create a whimsical, storybook feel, ideal for brides who want to feel like a princess on their wedding day.
Mix and match bouquets: textured and full
Want something truly unique? Go for a mix-and-match bouquet that combines flowers of different sizes, shapes, and textures. Pair tall delphiniums with smaller delicate florals, or mix in some Phalaenopsis orchids with playful blooms for contrast. The key is to have layers, textures and colours to create a bouquet that feels dynamic, fun, and totally you.
A mix-and-match bouquet is perfect for the bride with an eclectic, free-spirited vibe. It works with any wedding theme but especially shines at bohemian or modern weddings.
Whether you’re tying the knot at a trendy rooftop venue or an artistic urban loft, this bouquet style will make a big, exciting statement that says “I’m getting hitched!”.
