White Wedding Bouquets


Gardenias and Garden Roses


This white bundle of gardenias, garden roses, geranium, allium, ranunculus, and tulips pops against the bride's blush wedding gown.

A Paler Shade of White



Velvet-stemmed Tweedia add that something blue to a white-on-white bouquet of spray and tea roses, Lisianthius buds and flowers, and Ranunculus. A slim metallic-silver vintage ribbon lends a touch of sparkle.


True Classic


An exquisite all-white cascade like this one, fashioned from roses, sweet peas, Ranunculus, and tiny lilies of the valley, would be fitting for just about any bride in any setting.


Fragrant Handfuls


Tied with a white taffeta ribbon, a spring cascade of peonies floats on the tender foam of fresh white lilac sprays.



Spring Bundle

A densely packed confection of spring blossoms -- tulips, roses, Ranunculuses, calla lilies, and Tuberoses -- makes a little tapestry of textures.


Tuxedo Bouquet

Bouquets inspired by the tuxedo's colors are elegant and surprising. An armful of white flowers, including Majolica spray roses, lily of the valley, Ranunculus, freesia, Lisianthus, and sweet peas, is bound with a black-and-white sash tied in a grand bow.


Warm Whites


In this asymmetrical bouquet, barely yellow double narcissus mingle among classic white narcissus with yellow cups and tubular freesias that have golden throats. Adding to the appeal, the freesias smell lightly sweet, while the narcissus have a heady fragrance. Wide and narrow-striped grosgrain ribbons with a pinned-on vintage button tie the tailored mix.





Domed Nosegay


Mixing olives on silver-green branches and black ivy berries with Ranunculus gives this domed nosegay a loose, romantic feeling. The striped ribbon is pinned to a wide band.
