Romantic vs. Modern: Matching Your Bouquet to Your Wedding Theme

Beth’s Flowers shares how to match your bridal bouquet to your wedding theme—whether romantic and timeless or sleek and modern.

Why Your Bouquet Should Match Your Theme

Your bouquet is more than just an accessory—it’s a reflection of your personality, your wedding style, and the overall mood of your big day. Choosing a bouquet that aligns with your theme ensures every detail feels cohesive. At Beth’s Flowers, we help brides design blooms that perfectly fit their vision, whether it’s soft and romantic or bold and modern.

🌸 Romantic Bouquets: Soft, Dreamy, and Timeless

Romantic bouquets are all about lush blooms, flowing shapes, and delicate colors. They evoke elegance and timeless beauty.

Features of Romantic Bouquets:

• Flower Choices: Roses, peonies, ranunculus, hydrangeas.

• Colors: Blush, ivory, peach, lavender, and soft pastels.

• Style: Round or cascading arrangements with trailing greenery.

• Accents: Ribbons, lace, or heirloom charms for extra sentiment.

✨ Perfect for: Garden weddings, fairytale themes, or classic church ceremonies.

🌿 Modern Bouquets: Sleek, Bold, and Chic

Modern bouquets focus on clean lines, unexpected blooms, and statement-making shapes. They feel fresh, artistic, and contemporary.

Features of Modern Bouquets:

• Flower Choices: Orchids, anthuriums, calla lilies, protea.

• Colors: Bold monochromes (all white, all red), jewel tones, or black-and-white pairings.

• Style: Minimalist hand-tied or sculptural asymmetry.

• Accents: Geometric vessels, metallic details, or contrasting textures.

✨ Perfect for: City weddings, loft venues, or couples who love sleek design.

🎨 Blending the Two Styles

Not every bride fits neatly into one category—many bouquets mix romantic softness with modern edge. For example:

• A neutral pastel bouquet with one bold statement flower (like a protea).

• A traditional round bouquet reimagined with geometric accents or unexpected greenery.

• A romantic color palette (blush and ivory) styled in a minimalist, modern shape.

💡 Tips for Choosing Your Style

• Look at your dress: Flowing lace pairs beautifully with romantic florals; a sleek satin gown shines with modern designs.

• Think about your venue: Ballrooms and gardens lend themselves to romance; art galleries and rooftops lean modern.

• Stay true to you: The bouquet should feel like an extension of your personality, not just your theme.
