Bridal Bouquet Ideas with Orange & Red Flowers

A bride's bouquet should express her personality, enhance the beauty of her bridal gown and coordinate with the wedding decor. Choosing orange and red flowers complements fall, holiday or spring time fetes. Whether the bride chooses a long, flowing cascade-style bouquet of red roses and orange spider mums, or a simple nosegay of red tulips with bright orange centers, the bouquet adds a beautiful accent to her wedding day ensemble.
  1. Nosegay Bouquet

    • The smaller bridal bouquet style known as the nosegay showcases blooms in a simple, round pattern. Fully opened blooms of red roses with the stems bound with ribbon or fabric is a classic bridal look. A combination of red rose buds and open orange tea roses brings both colors into the bouquet. Tulips, red and orange tiger lilies or the more dainty apricot and plum-colored calla lilies show well in a nosegay bouquet, according to Blue Sky Weddings online.

    Hand-tied Bouquet

    • For a less manicured look, brides may choose a hand-tied bouquet. This simple European style can coordinate with a red and orange wedding by including a myriad of wildflowers. The red, orange and yellow blooms of blanket flowers, red cone flowers and deep orange daisies tied with raffia ribbon or loose silk ribbon adds a rustic look to the wedding.

    Cascade Bouquet

    • The cascade bouquet has a loosely styled appearance with a full bouquet at the top and cascading blooms tapering below. Pairing cymbidium orchids with cascades of miniature red roses and trailing green ivy adds elegance to the bride's look. Other hearty red or orange blooms to drape in a cascade bouquet include full size and miniature carnations or orange Gerbera daisies with red centers.

    Sheaf Bridal Bouquet

    • A sheaf bouquet rests in the folded left arm of the bride. Cradling long-stemmed red and apricot colored roses bound with a ribbon to match the bride's gown makes a classic statement. FloristDEX recommends using flowers with large blooms for this bouquet type. To complement orange and red wedding colors choose miniature orange sunflowers, red peonies or sprawling spider mums.
