\nWe’ve spoken with four\u00a0thoroughly experienced wedding florists<\/a> and asked them what bouquet the would\u00a0choose if they had to walk down the aisle tomorrow. Here are their (very surprising) answers.<\/p>\n

A simple bouquet of white tulips<\/h2>\n

Helen Dillon from Bridie Bride Weddings <\/a>in Melbourne says her wedding bouquet<\/a> of choice would be “something simple, and plain but very elegant.”<\/p>\n

“I’d have a bouquet of plain old tulips, all in white,” she says, “It would not be overstated and not understated, but it would be an all-white, very small and neat trail bouquet<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Helen says that if she did opt for anything more substantial, it would still be relatively small and neat – and all white, but that, in addition to her beloved tulips, it may\u00a0also\u00a0include white gladioli, roses, sweat pea and freesias.<\/p>\n

“I’d call it my\u00a0Spring has sprung bouquet!<\/a>”<\/p>\n

A taste of paradise: white orchids and nothing more<\/h2>\n

Paul Mance, owner of LillyPad Flowers & Formals<\/a>\u00a0in Melbourne, has created a whopping 14,000+ wedding bouquets<\/a> in his 14 years as a florist.<\/p>\n

He says, his bouquet of choice\u00a0would be a “classic” wedding bouquet <\/a>comprising solely of white phalaenopsis orchids.<\/p>\n

“It’s a classic flower that is the bloom\u00a0of choice for many weddings, especially overseas at the moment and you often see them featured in the big Hollywood weddings.”<\/p>\n

Colour, colour everywhere<\/h2>\n

Diana Barnett from Sydney’s\u00a0Botanical Designs, which specialises in artificial bouquets,\u00a0<\/a>says that if she had to walk down the aisle tomorrow, she take inspiration for her bouquet <\/a>from\u00a0one of her recent brides who asked for “a gorgeous purple tulip and cream hyacinth bouquet.”<\/p>\n

“The colours were so warm and vibrant,\u00a0so I think I’d have something similar, but it would be filled with roses, frangipanis, chrysanthemums and various other bright orange and pink blooms.<\/p>\n

“There’d be a little green scattered throughout, probably a few buds and some ferns, but I don’t think I’d go for a posy. It would be more like a trail bouquet, but not a teardrop trail bouquet <\/a>that would have some lovely ferns coming out of it.”<\/p>\n

A pretty posy of (white) roses<\/h2>\n

Amanda Plowman from Perth’s Timeless Blooms and Decor<\/a> says she’d also take the classic route with “a posy of white (Patience) David Austin roses because they look amazing and smell just beautiful.<\/p>\n

“I’m very traditional, so I’d have them all in white, maybe with a few white spray roses, champagne roses and white tulips with a touch of greenery, perhaps, some rolled green cordyline leaves,” says Amanda <\/a>who adds that\u00a0she’d shun trends, opting instead for a classic, tight white posy of her favourite roses.<\/p>\n

“I don’t like that look of flowers <\/a>that have been grabbed for a garden, at least not for myself,” she says, “I’d want my wedding bouquet <\/a>to be quite structured, perhaps in a dome shape with small groupings of white flowers all broken up with leaves.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40005,"template":"","au_article_tag":[280,1399,267,957],"class_list":["post-40004","au-article","type-au-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","au_article_category-weddingflowers","au_article_tag-bouquet","au_article_tag-david-austin-roses","au_article_tag-roses","au_article_tag-trail-bouquet"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/40004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/40004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_article_tag?post=40004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
