Colour Symbolism Of Your Wedding Bouquet

The Bouquet is fresh, vibrant, alive and pungent with delicious scents and notes that fly from it towards the bride upon your wedding day, into the room, admired by all, and one of the most photographed accessories, you will hold to you, wear upon you, and throw out to some lucky recipient at your wedding, to share your love, blessings and good fortune.

It has to be special. 

You may already have an idea for the colours of the bouquet, or maybe you are yet to select the ideal colours, depending upon your choice of wedding gown and bridesmaid’s gowns?

Perhaps you have a favourite flower, or colour, that you have dreamed of carrying within your bouquet upon your wedding day?

Do you have a colour representing your love, your heritage, ancestors – geographically symbolic, to a place, space, or retreat in your memory? 

Your selection from pure white, cream, peach, pink, red, orange, gold, silver, yellow, purple,  blue or wild organic medley flowers will forever be representative of your special wedding day, your happiness, health and fortune.

Each colour represents certain life experiences, fortuitous, inspirational, calming, healing, joyous and  celebratory!

Who helped you make your selection, your Mother, your husband or your bestie?  Did you spot a bouquet online, in a magazine, or did you go to a florist to discuss the various individual flowers and foliage, before you made your final selection.  

Is it a posy?  Compact and full?  Wild and free?  Long and trailing? 

It is a visual accessory everyone will be talking about, which will influence too, the table decorations at your wedding breakfast.  

Even if you are undecided, perhaps this interpretation of colour choice will help you make your selection. 

Have your dreamed since childhood of a particular bouquet?  What is your favourite flower?   

Maybe you wish to follow tradition and have the same as your Mother, or Grandmother? 

Perhaps you have a special memory from the first flowers your groom sent to you during your early courtship? 

Here are a few meaning s for your consideration for your wedding bouquet colours. 

  • Gold                     eternity, purity, wealth, divinity, balance, health, depth of character
  • Silver                    purity, honesty, moon energy, femininity, motherhood, clarity, harmony
  • White                    purity, truth, innocence, sacredness, peace, new beginnings
  • Green                  growth, passion, paradise, harmony, balance, wealth

I know your choice will be perfectly suited to your soul, your dress, and your eternal bond of marriage.  I know the delicacy, thoughtfulness and beauty of your bouquet will reflect the persona of your soul and that you will carry it admirably throughout your ceremony, to be captured in memory forever in your photography and videos.   

Each colour choice, symbolic of your love. 

As you exchange vows, your bouquet will be taken by your Maid of Honour, Chief Bridesmaid to one side, and I know the scents from the creation, sensed by all who admire it later. 

Not just a pleasure and thrill for you upon your special day, but the lucky person who catches it, upon your tossing it into your wedding party!  Or, if I were you, a smaller, replica of it… for the well wishes of your stunning day to be shared with another significant person. 

Of course, you may wish to opt for one plain colour, neutral creams or whites, or sheaves of wheat if your wedding is totally bohemian!   Whatever your individual personality, I am sure you will coordinate in a particularly spectacular fashion!

Happy symbolic bouquet creation!
