Daisy Bouquet Ideas

Gerber Daisies

• Gerber daisies have large heads that are flat and come in an array of colors, from white and pale pink to vibrant yellow and deep red. Make a bouquet that features only Gerber daisies for a playful, yet striking look. For a summer wedding, a tight clutch of pale and hot pink daisies will pop against a white gown. If you're hosting a fall party, arrange a centerpiece that features yellow and orange Gerber's. Complement a winter affair by covering a ball of floral foam with all white Gerber's.

Loose and Carefree

• Make a simple bouquet that appears as if you've just gathered it from a field using stems of asters, purple cone flower, Shasta and Montauk daisies. The white color of the Shasta and Montauk varieties serve as a neutral backdrop for the light purple of the purple cone flower and dark purple asters. Clip the flowers so that they are a variety of lengths. If you're giving the bouquet as a gift or carrying them in a wedding, loosely gather them and secure with a length of raffia or lace. If you're using them as a centerpiece, place the flowers inside a decorative jug in a haphazard manner.

Formal Flare

• The classic star-shape that the various types of daisies are known for, as well as the array of colors, complement several different types of flowers. Create a formal bouquet by mixing daisies with other flowers. Cut white calla lilies and red mums so that they are the same length. Gather them into a tight bouquet, wrap a white satin ribbon around the stems and accent the ribbon with rhinestones. Another option is to cut red roses and white Shasta or Gerber daisies the same length. Arrange the roses in a bouquet and surround them with the white daisies. Wrap the stems with ribbon and allow excess ribbon to drape off the end of the stems.
