In need of seasonal wedding bouquet ideas? You’re in the right place!
The bridal bouquet has been an important wedding staple since the brides of the ancient world carried bunches of flowers for luck and love. The beauty that a bridal bouquet brings to your outfit, for walks down the aisle, gracing photographs, and post ceremony festivities gives it an enduring and romantic appeal. The seasonal and natural flowers of our bridal bouquets make them highly sensory objects; with soothing scents, intricate detail and mesmerising movement which can't help but ease any last minute nerves.
We have made a vast array of wedding flowers for many people to hold on their big days. Some opt for a more pared back white or soft palette, while others select colourful flowers that complement their outfits and other elements of their day, or choose colours and wild ingredients that speak to the Scottish landscape that surrounds their wedding venue.
Each of our bridal bouquets is created especially for its holder, considering all of their bespoke wishes using only our natural, farm-grown and seasonal flowers.
Take a look at the bridal bouquets we have made this year from March to August with all flowers grown on our flower farm in Scotland. You may even find inspiration for your own!
For Sarah, in March, with the earliest flowers of the year which always feel special. Sarah had no strict colour requests and was happy to trust in what was seasonally available but did want a pop of "something blue" for which the little muscari buds were perfect.
For Zoe, in April, who opted for a green and cream base palette with accents of orange, yellow, pink, and lilac. Notice the dynamic colour of the iris, with white, lilac, blue, and yellow all contained within its petals. This was the first week that the ranunculus started flowering, and with the hellebores still around, we really felt the transition between winter and spring represented in this bouquet.
For Brittany, in May, who wanted a cool colour palette of mostly whites and lilacs with a few accents of peach, yellow and pink. The softness of the colours and the delicate greenery gives this bouquet an ethereal quality.
For Sophie, in May, who wanted a bold yellow and purple colour palette that felt like "sunshine". The buttercups and aquilegia represented every sunbeam and when paired next to the purple of the allium, made the colours appear even more vivid and bright.
For Logan, in June, who wanted a pastel palette with lilac, pink, peach, and lots of white and cream. There was something about this bouquet that reminded me of ice cream, perhaps the colours, perhaps the sweet, sherbet, vanilla scents from the roses. The campanula flowers had blue tips on the petals outlining them like a delicate line drawing. This was the first week for sweet peas and we added them in abundance to celebrate.
For Jude, in June, who wanted foliage to be the main focus of her bouquet in what she described as "green on green on green"! She really liked the combination of copper and green so we added orange roses and poppies sparingly, lots of honey garlic and different tones of foliage. We also added flowers still in their bud phase such as scabious and sanguisorba to create interest, texture and add different tones of green to the foliage. There was something very autumnal about this bouquet and with the honey garlic, roses and mint the scent was wonderful!
For Hannah, in June, who wanted a single variety bouquet to complement the simple silhouette of her dress. We choose ox-eye daisies as they are her birth flower and reminded her of someone close to her who she lost. The daisies danced and swayed as she walked, picked up the light beautifully and spoke to the landscape of the Scottish highlands being present in the surrounding fields and hedgerows at the time of the wedding.
For Caroline, in June, who opted for a fun combination of pastels and bright colours and wanted a gestural construction which felt crafted but not too rigid. Sustainability and local produce was incredibly important to the couple and that the flowers were natural, locally grown and chemical free.
For Caitie, in June, who liked the idea of using primary colours; red, yellow and blue, with the inclusion of other bright colours against white to create something fun, wild and graphic that resembled a garden. The early alchemilla mollis emanates an almost neon tone and glows along with the buttercups. An example of how lots of different colours can still be harmonious!
Into July for Oyiza, who opted for a white, cream and green base palette with accents of yellow, blue and pink. This bouquet had an incredible scent from the chamomile, stocks and sweet rocket.
For Nimrah, in July, with flowers chosen by her groom who wanted something that felt traditional and bridal whilst still being wild and natural. A white, cream and very subtle blush palette with delicate greenery and texture creating detail and interest in the absence of colour. Despite being a simple palette, this bouquet still had lots of colour with the pink stalks of the hydrangea flowers and yellow stamens of the chamomile.
For Lauren, in July, we created this fiesta of hot, bright colours and lighter accents which felt like a party in a bouquet which suited the kind of day the couple were planning - full of fun and festivities!
For Millie, in July, who wanted soft pastel colours and lots of greenery. The inclusion of sweet pea vines and tendrils and a "skirt" of astilbe foliage created the gentle undone nature of the bouquet shape with the year's first astilbe and ammi creating texture.
For Jenni, in July, a petite gathering of white and cream with accents of peach and lilac. The sun in the studio this day, make it look gold and silver in places with the ammi and astilbe as delicate as jewellery.
For Amy, in July, who wished for lots of different colours and asked us to "bring the fun" with the flowers. Amy wanted a floral look with minimal foliage and lots of wild ingredients. This wedding coincided with the first dahlias of the year which had to make an appearance in the bouquet!
For Beth, in August, who opted for cream and white flowers with lots of bright, fun colours. Large flower heads create a blousy and sculptural feel. Beth wanted to carry a bouquet that was loosely round and gently undone with lots of romantic flowers and wild elements.
For Lauren, in August, who wanted a surprise and wasn't fixed on any colour palette but knew she wanted her bouquet to be representative of the season and dance when she walked! We added lots of dancing geraniums around the outside for movement and choose the best of the field that day; hot pink astilbe and pinky-peach roses alongside dill for scent and echinacea for visual interest with their idiosyncratic cones.
