Which Bridal Bouquet Matches Your Personality

Make your wedding truly yours by picking wedding bouquet flowers that best represent your personality. How? Let this guide from Lily’s Florist help you.

For a bridal bouquet that’s uniquely you, consider choosing flowers that share the same characteristics as yours. With the thousands of beautiful, fresh blossoms in Australia, it wouldn’t be so hard to find the flora that speaks to you and about you.

ROMANTIC AND TRADITIONAL

The classic white or pastel bridal bouquet has the simple, natural and effortless look that matches brides who are dutiful, independent and conservative. If you’re someone who believes that everything needs to be played by the rules, you might notice yourself being attractive to white flowers, light-coloured or pastel-coloured blooms, and greenery. Fresh flowers in lighter shades match everything with ease and exude a no-fuss style, perfect for your practical and traditional nature.



Roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, tulips, calla lilies, hydrangeas, ranunculus and gardenias are traditional wedding flowers that you can use.

CREATIVE & OUTGOING

When you tackle life’s challenges with optimism, curiosity and creativity, your personality’s colour is said to be yellow. Finding happiness comes easy to you that others would compare you to sunshine. As such, yellow blossoms can inject your warm, positive, and friendly personality into your special day.



Violet flowers can also symbolise your gentle and free spirit. The purple shade has a charismatic and alluring energy similar to your creative and outgoing character.

Yellow and purple flowers go together, fortunately. Sunflowers, marigolds, daffodils, buttercups, and yellow daisies and roses can be paired with purple tulips, lilacs, sweet pea, irises, freesia and lavender. If you prefer to only have little bits of yellow for just a splash of cheer, use yellow billy balls. For a bit of purple here and there, the reliable purple statice filler is what you’ll need.

ADVENTUROUS & STRONG-WILLED

Do you enjoy being in-charge? Is it natural for you to quickly make decisions yet you’re always ready with a backup plan? For the bride who works hard to achieve her goals and make her plans happen, a bridal bouquet that’s filled with resilient blooms and long-lasting natives would be perfect.



Bearded irises, daylilies, zinnias, honey-scented buddleias, orchids, delphiniums, freesias, gladioli, dahlias, and red orange sunflowers are blooms that can best represent your confidence, strong will and adventurous spirit.

RISK TAKER & EDGY

A fashion lover? A rule breaker? If you don’t like cookie-cutter nuptials and you want your big day to have a real personality, consider yourself a risk taker and edgy bride. We predict you are going to gravitate towards flowers with noticeable shape and texture. Extra large blossoms, extra small blossoms, native Australian flowers, succulents and blooms in unique colours can best represent your unique wedding ideas and your one-of-a-kind style. We recommend carrying a wreath of native blossoms instead of a bouquet for a style that truly stands out (and breaks rules). Another quirky alternative is to hold a bouquet of succulents, a bunch of wildflowers, or a gathering of ferns and greenery.



Your bridal bouquet is yours alone; so go ahead and make it as personal as you’d want it to be. It’s a once in a lifetime accessory that you can customise and make as impressive, unforgettable, and meaningful as you’d like. Aside from flowers, you can incorporate little heirloom pieces, small tokens, and other little things that can symbolise the things that are important for you.

Choosing the perfect bouquet for your special day is fun and exciting; yet it can be challenging. These bouquets come in various shapes and styles - from modest posies to intricate cascades – and could cost a lot. Apart from wanting to inject your own style and personality into your wedding bouquet, you also need to consider if your bridal bouquet choices will complement the theme, fit your budget, and match the flowers’ seasonality. Finding inspiration from all the other wedding details and your relationship with your partner can help you pick the right choice. 

Once you’ve got your ideas sorted, your talented and reliable florist can help you turn your vision into reality.
