What you need to create a citrus-hued bridal bouquet
Leonora, Beatrice, Purity, Edith Wedding Roses
This bridal bouquet is a radiant showcase of our most revered wedding roses, offering a captivating blend of colours and textures. The creamy ivory tones of Leonora and Purity provide a soft, romantic base, perfectly complemented by Beatrice’s buttery yellows and the extraordinary combination of Edith’s enchanting apricot centre and dusky pink halo. Each of our roses brings its own unique charm, but together they form a harmonious bouquet that exudes grace, character, and an unforgettable fragrance – perfect for a wedding rich in sentiment and beauty.
Veronica
Veronica adds a sculptural elegance to this citrus-toned bridal bouquet, offering both texture and graceful movement. Long, slender stems are crowned with clusters of densely packed tiny white blooms that add height and a delicate yet striking contrast to the round, abundant rosettes of Leonora, Beatrice, Purity, and Edith roses. Long-signifying new beginnings, purity and loyalty, the white Veronica flower is more than just a visual complement – it’s a meaningful addition, perfect for the most important day of your life.
Phlox
Cottage garden favourites, Nerines bring a further textural element to this luxurious bridal bouquet, with tall, refined stems and star-like blooms, each adorned with long, filament-like stamens and curling petals. Beyond their distinctive form, Nerines carry deeply sentimental symbolism, representing connection, joy and affection, making them an ideal choice for couples beginning their married life together.
Butterfly Ranunculus
Roses will, of course, always be our favourites, but the ethereal beauty of butterfly ranunculus is always a welcome addition to our favourite bridal bouquets. With their delicate, almost translucent butterfly-like petals, white butterfly ranunculus add a sense of lightness, texture and balance to bouquets. Symbolising new beginnings, joy and happiness, we think the graceful butterfly ranunculus is a bridal bouquet must-have.
Create a romantic red and pink bridal bouquet
Tess, Darcey, Miranda and Capability Wedding Roses
This endlessly romantic bouquet is rich and vibrant in colour thanks to the wonderful combination of Tess, Darcey, Miranda and Capability roses. Red, raspberry and deep fuchsia tones across abundant and sumptuous petals are lifted by Miranda’s candy-pink plumage, creating a bouquet of maximum visual and textural impact. While the other roses are light in scent, Capability ensures that your bouquet is completely captivating with an indelible fragrance of rose and citrus.
Ranunculus
Available in a vast range of colours and forms, ranunculus are incredibly versatile and add instant texture to any bouquet. In this red and pink palette, delicate pale pink ranunculus are paired with two-toned berry-hued blooms, creating a harmonious balance. Symbolising charm and attraction, ranunculus were often exchanged as tokens of love in Victorian times – a perfect fit for a wedding, wouldn’t you agree? Their subtle fragrance ensures they won’t compete with Capability’s beguiling perfume, allowing each element of the bouquet to shine in its own right.
Scabiosa Seed Head
Scabiosa seed pods bring a striking architectural element to this bridal bouquet, offering a unique texture that beautifully contrasts with the delicate roses. Their intricate structure adds a touch of natural elegance, while their modest size creates a balanced visual dynamic throughout. Representing true love, these seed pods are more than just a textural addition, infusing the berry-hued bouquet with deeper meaning.
