37 Beautiful Bridesmaid Bouquet Ideas for Your Wedding (2024)

When it comes to wedding flowers, brides spend most of their time fretting about their own bouquets, and for good reason—they can totally distract or add to your bridal look. But the same is true of bridesmaid bouquets: The right combination will bring an extra flair to your bridal party's style. While these handheld arrangements may not steal the stage of the floral show at the wedding, they should be just as gorgeous as the bridal bouquet that inspired them.

Thankfully, bouquets have come a long way from the matchy-matchy bundle of roses that bridesmaids used to carry down the aisle. While the classic rose (or peony or hydrangea) hasn't gone out of style, brides are now mixing these conventional blooms with other elements to create unique looks. Think: plenty of greenery or unexpected flowers, such as king protea, anemones, or succulents. Even without your typical florals, these plants can stand on their own for some seriously creative bouquets.

If you're looking for inspiration for your crew's floral assortments, we've compiled a list of 37 bridesmaid bouquets perfect for any affair.

Everything You Need To Know About the Bridal Bouquet

Embrace Vibrant Hues

While all-white bridesmaid bouquets are definitely timeless, if you’re throwing a colorful bash, embracing vibrant arrangements will add a punchy splash to your crew’s attire. Pairing blue bridesmaid dresses with assortments of yellow and orange blooms (like the ones featured in this Indian fusion affair in Austin) will create the illusion of a sunset, which is a striking choice for summer nuptials by the beach.

If you're hoping to highlight length with your bridesmaid bouquets, adding amaranthus will create an eye-catching trailing effect. This long, wispy bloom is at its peak from August to November, so consider using it for late summer or fall weddings. Then, pair the focal bloom with greenery and other seasonal blossoms in your color palette, like these bridesmaids did at this timeless celebration at a New Jersey castle.

Bring on the Baby's Breath

Jewel tones are deep, saturated hues that bring a richness to any type of wedding, especially those set in the fall.
