These arrangements are perfect for oceanside celebrations.
Beach weddings have it all: Picturesque views, built-in ceremony backdrops, the fresh smell of salty sea air, striking colors, and tropical vibes. With all of the natural inspiration the ocean provides, choosing the right florals for your beach wedding bouquet is a breeze. Unlike more traditional weddings on land, seaside ceremonies typically offer a more relaxed feel. This means that you have a lot more freedom when it comes to choosing a big-day clutch, so don't be afraid to get creative when collaborating with your florist.
Tap into your surroundings for insight and allow your bouquet's colors to emulate a sunset over the ocean's horizon line, complete with pinks, yellows, and reds. Or, use the ocean for inspiration and choose shades of greens and blues for your arrangement. Even the look of white sandy shores can be translated into your ceremony's most defining accessory. The gist? Your setting's bright, summery shades can absolutely be used to your advantage!
Your choice of florals and greenery can also dictate the shape of your bouquet—and make it that much more appropriate for a beach wedding. Blooms like peonies, roses, ranunculus, and sugarbushes will help round out your arrangement, while palm leaves, fiddlehead ferns, lavender, and astilbe can provide a natural or cascading look. If both of those options speak to you, an asymmetrical bouquet, like this coral-hued arrangement by Noonan's Wine Country Designs, might be an option for your beachy celebration.
Ahead, we've rounded up some of our favorite beach wedding bouquets to inspire your own. You'll find that each arrangement, from minimalistic clutches with neutral color palettes to bold sprays in brilliant hues, stirs up dreams of coastal paradise. When the big day arrives, your beach-inspired wedding bouquet will bring your theme (and ceremony location!) full-circle.
