Color meaning
Burgundy is a symbol of luxury and wealth.
It helps you collect your thoughts, focus on the goal, and prevents you from being distracted by trifles. Psychologists believe that this color is associated with self-confidence, conservatism and solidity. People who like him are straightforward and assertive.
Interesting! Those who prefer burgundy shades can boast of a well-developed sense of style.
Burgundy is considered an indicator of nobility and grace, but when creating a wedding composition you need to know when to stop. If there is too much of such a rich and deep color, it puts you in a pessimistic mood, so the bouquet looks good with a snow-white wedding dress with small inserts in a deep burgundy shade.
What kind of bride would suit a burgundy bouquet?
Burgundy bouquets look good at weddings held in the fall and winter. Burgundy color is a warm shade; it looks expressive both at the ceremony and in photographs.
Burgundy bouquets can be prepared for brides of different physical builds: a round bouquet is more suitable for petite girls, and a voluminous one is more suitable for tall girls.
The main rule to remember is that the more modest the bride’s dress, the more luxurious the bouquet should be . And vice versa, the more beautiful the outfit, the simpler the bouquet.
If the bride's dress has a classic cut, you can create a bouquet of lilies, tulips, roses, and gardenias in burgundy shades. If the dress has an unusual cut, then the flower arrangement is not made in a standard way. It is complemented with decorative elements and exotic plants.
It is important that the color of the bouquet contrasts with the color of the wedding dress , since if the color is similar, the bouquet will merge with the dress.
Suitable flowers
Many flowers have a noble shade of burgundy by nature:
- The traditional option is roses. It is a symbol of tenderness and love;
- Callas are luxurious, majestic flowers, ideal for young brides;
- Lily is a symbol of fidelity, happiness, tenderness, purity of thoughts. This symbolism allows you to create bouquets that have a very deep meaning. Lilies tolerate temperature changes well, so they do not lose freshness throughout the holiday at any time of the year;
- Orchid is an exotic flower that is a symbol of wisdom, tenderness, harmony in family life;
- Tulips - burgundy buds are suitable for creating a spring composition. They will be associated with fragility, youth, love. The bouquet will turn out elegant and stylish.
Any other burgundy flowers can be safely included in a variety of floral ensembles. The main thing is that the bride herself likes them.

Combinations in burgundy tones
Since burgundy color is very bright, it is diluted with other shades. White flowers just beg to go with burgundy ones. You can choose cream roses, white ranunculus and burgundy peonies. If you choose chic burgundy-colored dahlias, then white spray roses or daffodils will make a great duo.
The wine shade is not bad with pastel and milky tones. Plants can be anything, it all depends on the imagination of the future bride or florist.
Burgundy buds are combined with yellow chrysanthemums, eustomas, hydrangeas, and ranunculi. The main color of burgundy goes well with lilac and purple shades. Dark red roses with violets and lavender are a win-win option. To create a sophisticated composition, you can take burgundy orchids and lilac peonies, which will add volume to the bouquet.
An extravagant ensemble will be created with sophisticated burgundy irises. Particularly daring brides combine burgundy buds with blue hydrangeas, wild steppe flowers and delphiniums.
Wine shade looks good with brown. One composition combines roses, majestic callas and aristocratic lilies.
Idea! Pale light green and juniper greens go perfectly with burgundy color.
Mono bouquets are kept in the same color scheme. They are made up of plants of only one type - roses, tulips, callas, peonies. Brown sticks and greenery are used as decoration.

Wedding compositions
Before making a bouquet, you need to determine which flowers it will be created from. It is advisable to consult a professional florist. You can come up with an idea yourself.
Of roses
Rose is optimal for creating classic compositions. Breeders have developed buds of rich burgundy color, which are the personification of ardent passion, and florists boldly decorate them with rhinestones and sparkles.
Dark roses are presented in a large palette of shades:
- classic burgundy;
- with lavender reflections;
- with purple notes.
A classic color is recommended for a wedding bouquet , since too dark is associated with fading feelings and fading beauty, and an admixture of light shades suggests a passing infatuation.
From lilies
The large buds of lilies are exquisite and exude a divine aroma. This flower symbolizes innocence, boundless happiness and fidelity, therefore it is ideally suited for creating a wedding composition.
This bouquet is suitable for a romantic, gentle girl who appreciates sophisticated style. When creating a mono-composition, long stems are intercepted with decorative tape. White or pink buds are added to dark red ones to make the accessory contrasting and more textured.
From orchids
Exquisite, exotic orchids have long been given to the closest and dearest people, because the symbolism of these flowers is closely connected with passion and tenderness. In eastern countries, the orchid represents renewal of life and unfading youth. She is considered a symbol of spiritual harmony and material wealth, the protection of higher powers, fertility and perfection.
Burgundy orchids are not very common, but if you try, you can find them in prestigious florist salons. The petals have both a solid shade with a burgundy-pink gradient, and decoration in the form of burgundy spots.
Orchids go well with lilies or roses, with each flower becoming a full partner in the trio. If the emphasis is on orchids, then hydrangeas or alstroemerias would be a good addition.
From calla lilies
Burgundy delicate callas are suitable for fragile girls with an expressive appearance. The flower personifies admiration, respect and admiration, is a talisman of the family hearth and has a pleasant vanilla aroma.
Advice! A dark composition of callas should not be made too voluminous, since the rich color in itself is a bright accent.
The stems are traditionally tied with a decorative ribbon without a porta bouquet. It is acceptable to combine dark buds with white ones, as well as with orchids and roses of different shades.

Pink colors and shades
What kind of girls is it suitable for?
Expressive burgundy makes exquisite monochrome bouquets. They will not blend in with the color of the bride-to-be's dress (with the exception of a tone-on-tone dress). Since this color cannot be called delicate, it is rarely chosen by young girls, but it will help give young women a special nobility, grace and mystery. To enhance the effect, you need to do a manicure and makeup to match, decorate the bodice of the outfit with burgundy embroidery and wear a ruby bracelet.
Mature women will also like this composition. They should give preference to a pink or red outfit, against which the burgundy composition looks especially elegant.
Burgundy flowers not only create a luxurious composition, but also emphasize refined taste , high position in society, and special status, which is why wealthy women often choose them.
In order for a snow-white dress to harmonize with the dark shades of the bouquet, it is necessary to add fresh flowers of the same shade to the bride’s hairstyle, shoes, and belt on the dress. The groom's boutonniere should also be burgundy.
When forming a wedding composition, it is necessary to take into account the following nuances:
- The girl's build and height;
- Wedding dress model;
- Hair and skin color of the future bride.
An experienced florist will be able to create an impeccable composition if he knows all of the above features of his customer, so you need to meet with a specialist in advance and describe the wedding dress to him in detail .
Form
Some girls make bouquets themselves. This is quite possible if you have impeccable taste and knowledge of certain laws for creating floral compositions.
The round shape is considered classic when creating a floral ensemble, but you need to keep in mind that it is suitable only for fragile girls of short stature.
The cascade form is very original. The flowers are arranged in several tiers, which seem to float on top of each other. Lots of hanging elements create the illusion of a waterfall. This is an excellent option for slender and tall brides, but such an ensemble visually reduces height, so short girls are better off choosing a different option.
Important! A free-form bouquet in which flowers are collected in creative disorder is universal; it is also called a disheveled bouquet. It is suitable for all brides, including pregnant women.
What to consider when choosing?
Other recommendations include the following:
- You should not order a floral arrangement that has an impressive weight. It will not be easy for a young bride to wear it throughout the holiday;
- The strong aroma of flowers can cause headaches, fatigue and irritation. Even if a girl loves flowers that have a distinct scent, it is still better not to include them in the composition;
- Not all florists are specialists in creating wedding bouquets. To avoid disappointment, in the chosen florist salon you need to carefully review the catalog of finished works. This will allow you to immediately determine whether the bride likes the compositions or whether it is better to find something else;
- If there are concerns that the flowers may wither before the end of the day, then it is better to immediately order a duplicate bouquet so that the accessory can be discreetly changed at the right time.
The composition must be strong, otherwise the bouquet risks falling apart after a few hours.
