Bouquet Recipe: Lavender Pastel Wedding Bouquet for Timeless Wedding

I personally love the soft lavender color. Lavender has calming, relaxing, feminine, romantic, and luxurious qualities, making it a perfect color for those envisioning a timeless and romantic wedding but preferring subtle colors over an all-white and blush palette.

There are various beautiful soft lavender-colored flowers such as Scabiosas, Sweetpeas, Clematis, Tulips, Roses, Ranunculus, or Lisianthus. Even if lavender isn’t your main color palette, simply adding a couple of stems to your flower arrangements or bouquets can make them more elegant and unique!

I found small-sized roses (actually at Whole Foods market!) that had a beautiful soft lavender color, and they caught my eyes! So I grabbed them, and I made a wedding bouquet with these lavender roses, adding some blush pink and light blue using my bouquet-making tool, StemSlider.

Here is the list of materials and some tips for this lavender bouquet, and I’m sharing the bouquet recipe below.

Materials for lavender wedding bouquet

1. Rose (lavender/small size) – 14 stems
2. Clematis (lavender) – 6 stems
3. Ranunculus (peach) – 10 stems
4. Scabiosa (blush pink) – 8 stems
5. Butterfly Ranunculus (blush pink) – 3 stems
6. Helleborus (white) – 3 stems
7. Tweedia (light blue) – 5 stems

Tips to make the wedding bouquet soft and airy

1. Helleborus is a main filler, so use them at the beginning of the process.
2. Add Clematis and Butterfly Ranunculus at the end to give the bouquet a fluffy movement.
3. Tweedia can serve as both filler and line flowers; cut some of them short to fill the space in the middle and side areas, and keep some of them longer to add nice lines outside of the bouquet.
