• Easy to Match with Other Florals: These roses pair wonderfully with other flowers, such as classic roses, peonies, hydrangeas, and greenery like eucalyptus and ivy. This versatility allows you to customize your bouquet to fit your personal style.

How to Incorporate Bourbon Roses Into Your Wedding Bouquet

Creating the perfect floral arrangement for your Christchurch wedding is all about personalization. Bourbon Roses are a flexible flower that can be tailored to suit your design vision. Here are a few tips for incorporating them into your bouquet:

1. Mix with Seasonal Flowers: Depending on the time of year, you can combine Bourbon Roses with other seasonal flowers. For example, in summer, pair them with peonies, dahlias, and freesias for a lush, vibrant bouquet. In winter, combine them with soft greenery like holly and pine for a more rustic, cozy feel.
   
   

2. Create a Loose, Natural Style: If you prefer a more organic, wildflower-inspired bouquet, the Bourbon Rose is a perfect choice. Their soft petals and full shape lend themselves beautifully to a relaxed, flowing design that looks effortless yet sophisticated.
   
   

3. Add Greenery for Texture: Adding texture to your bouquet is key for visual interest. Incorporate greenery such as eucalyptus, ferns, or ivy to make your Bourbon Rose bouquet even more dynamic. This creates contrast and highlights the rich, deep hues of the roses.
   
   

4. Complement with Other Wedding Decor: Bourbon Roses also look great when they’re part of your larger wedding flower arrangements, from table centrepieces to aisle decorations. By incorporating them into your overall wedding florals, you ensure a cohesive, elegant look throughout your ceremony and reception.
