Artificial plants and flowers in bridal bouquets: tips and ideas.

Choosing artificial flowers for your bridal bouquet

If you want to put a bouquet together yourself, there is a lot to consider. The colours and types of flower largely determine the look of the bouquet. It has to suit the day, but also your wedding dress. In any case it is important to choose good-quality artificial flowers or plants. They are made from a combination of plastic and silk, which makes them look remarkably real. These flowers also have a wire core that you can easily bend and arrange yourself.

Which artificial flowers suit which theme?

1. A country wedding

Is your wedding taking a more rural or rustic turn? Then artificial flowers such as sunflowers and gypsophila are a great fit. They radiate warmth and a welcoming atmosphere. An artificial wildflower bouquet is another very suitable choice.

2. A romantic wedding

Would you rather have a classic, romantic feel? Then go for an enchanting bouquet with artificial flowers such as roses and hydrangeas. By alternating white with green, your bouquet takes on a dreamy, elegant look. Worth noting: these bouquets suit almost every style and colour of wedding dress.

You could also choose an artificial bridal bouquet in pastel shades. This creates a harmonious effect that is at the same time elegant and soft. Perfect for your wedding.

3. A glamorous, chic wedding

Do you want a wedding full of glitter and glamour? Then your bouquet needs to match. These arrangements call for luxurious artificial flowers that radiate refinement and elegance. Red roses or peonies in a rose gold shade are an excellent choice.

4. A boho or Ibiza wedding

Artificial plants and flowers are also very well suited to boho weddings. To create that lovely Ibiza feel, choose artificial bouquets with ferns and laurel, or lavish eucalyptus. These flowers are timeless and instantly create a natural, laid-back atmosphere on your wedding day.

A stylish example for brides who want a boho wedding? Choose a bouquet with artificial flowers in pink and white. Ranunculus works beautifully. Combine them with gypsophila and artificial eucalyptus stems. Cheerful and boho at once.

Making your own wedding bouquet from artificial flowers?

Are you creative enough, or have the tips above given you ideas? Then you can set about making a beautiful bouquet yourself. With the tips below it is not only easy but great fun too.

• Use floral foam to hold the artificial flowers neatly in place. You can also use wire so the stems bend easily. Think carefully about the size of your bouquet. It may make its presence felt, but you and your dress are still the centre of attention on the best day of your life.
• Start with the flowers that will be the focal point of your bouquet, such as sunflowers, roses or peonies. Then fill the gaps with gypsophila or artificial greenery such as eucalyptus. Make sure the flowers are evenly distributed.
• Would you like to keep your artificial bouquet after the wedding? Then you can put it in a beautiful vase. Make sure the artificial flowers are not exposed to direct sunlight, unless they are UV-resistant. That way you prevent the leaves from fading.
