Roses are basically the OG of romantic flowers, and it’s no wonder they've been stealing hearts for centuries! With their soft, velvety petals and endless color options, roses are perfect for creating the wedding of your dreams. Whether you’re envisioning a timeless white bouquet or a vibrant, bold pop of color, roses are totally here to make that vision a reality.

Their durability is like the wedding flower equivalent of a trusty bestie—always there for you! Whether you're crafting DIY bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, or centerpieces, roses are up for the task and are guaranteed to make your wedding blooms look next-level gorgeous.

So, if you want to keep things classic or spice it up with something daring, roses are your ride-or-die for making your wedding floral dreams come true!

Rose bouquets are versatile, and the design possibilities are endless. Here are some inspiring ideas to get you started:

For a fresh, clean look that oozes modern elegance, combine white roses such as Playa Blanca with lush greenery. The simplicity of the white roses, paired with vibrant greenery like eucalyptus, ferns, or ruscus, creates a minimalist yet chic vibe that's perfect for contemporary or minimalist weddings. The green accents bring texture and depth while letting the pure, crisp beauty of the roses take center stage. Whether in your bouquet, centerpiece, or decor, this look will keep things fresh, elegant, and effortlessly beautiful. It’s the perfect balance of nature and sophistication!

Soft pink roses create a sweet, romantic vibe. Mix different shades of pink, like blush and dusty rose, to add depth to your bouquet.

A bouquet of red roses is the ultimate symbol of love and passion—straight from the heart! But what do red roses really mean? The deep, rich red hue represents not just love, but deep affection, respect, and desire. It’s the flower that speaks volumes when words fall short, making it the perfect choice for a wedding day filled with emotion and commitment.

To elevate the look, add a touch of greenery like Italian ruscus or eucalyptus. These elegant greens not only add texture and depth but also enhance the boldness of the red roses, giving the bouquet a sophisticated, balanced feel.

Whether it’s your bridal bouquet or a romantic centerpiece, red roses will always make a statement that’s full of love, passion, and timeless allure. We have red explorer roses which are a timeless favorite, spray red roses, and our one of a kind Deep red hear roses.  If you want some inspo, take a look here! The perfect red rose bouquet with white accents perfect for those bride’s who want more romantic yet bridal look.

A bouquet featuring 100 roses is the ultimate expression of drama, luxury, and unforgettable beauty. This bold, stunning arrangement is perfect for the bride who wants to stand out and make a show-stopping entrance. With a 100 rose bouquet, you'll have a bouquet so lush and full that it practically demands attention—and trust us, all eyes will be on you!

However, keep in mind:
A bouquet this large can be surprisingly heavy and large, which may feel uncomfortable to carry for long periods during your ceremony or photos. For a more practical yet equally breathtaking option, we recommend opting for a max 50 stems instead. You'll still achieve that lush, grand look without sacrificing comfort—and it will be easier to hold and maneuver throughout your big day.

Ultimately, the choice is yours! Whether you go for 100 roses bouquet or 50, it will be a stunning reflection of your style and the statement you want to make.

Wrap your bouquet with ribbon in your wedding colors. Choose satin, velvet, or lace ribbons to elevate even the simplest arrangements. Flower Moxie offers a wide selection of gorgeous, double-faced satin ribbon to finish off your stunning bouquet!

Combine different types of roses—like garden roses, spray roses, and standard roses—for a bouquet that’s full of texture and dimension.

Pair two contrasting colors, like red and white or blush and coral, for a striking design.

Use muted tones like champagne, dusty blue, and mauve roses for a vintage-inspired arrangement.

When it comes to the perfect rose bouquet, it’s all about finding that sweet spot between style and size! Here’s a little guide to help you decide how many roses you need based on the vibe you’re going for:

• Small Bouquets (10–15 roses): Think elegant, understated, and minimalist. Perfect if you want to keep things classy and chic without going overboard.
• Medium Bouquets (20–30 roses): A balanced beauty, offering a fuller, more lush look without overwhelming your bridal style. This is your Goldilocks bouquet—not too big, not too small!
• Large Bouquets (50+ roses): Ready to make a statement? This size is all about the wow factor. If you want to be a true floral goddess, go big with a bold, luxurious arrangement!

Have you ever wondered if size matters? Well with roses it does (lol) And here's the secret: the size of the roses makes a difference! If you're using garden roses or David Austin roses (which are basically the big sisters of regular roses), you’ll need fewer flowers to achieve that full, gorgeous look. So, if you want to pack in some serious floral impact with fewer blooms, these beauties are your secret weapon.

Go ahead, pick your perfect size and get ready for some serious floral magic!

Roses come in many varieties, each with its own charm. Here’s a guide to help you pick the best roses for your bouquet:

1. Standard Roses

These are the classic roses you see in most bouquets. They’re available in almost every color and are easy to work with.

2. Spray Roses

Spray roses grow in clusters, making them great for adding texture and filling out bouquets.

3. Garden Roses

Known for their large, ruffled petals, garden roses such as cream ohara  are luxurious and fragrant. They’re ideal for romantic or vintage-themed weddings.

4. Novelty Roses

Looking for something unique? Consider tinted , antique or bi-color roses for a playful, modern look.

Creating your own bouquet might sound intimidating, but it’s a fun and rewarding project. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

You’ll need:

• Fresh roses (buying in bulk is more cost-effective)
• Greenery like eucalyptus or ruscus
• Floral tape
• Ribbon for wrapping the stems
• Pruning shears or scissors

Step 2: Prep the Roses

• Remove leaves and thorns from the stems.
• Trim the stems at an angle to help them absorb water.
• Hydrate the roses for a few hours before arranging them.

Step 3: Arrange the Bouquet

• Start with a single rose in the center.
• Add more roses around it, turning the bouquet as you go to create a spiral effect.
• Incorporate greenery to add texture and balance.

Step 4: Secure the Bouquet

Finish your bouquet with a zip tie, chenille wire, or floral tape. Be sure to adjust in the mirror before you tighten/finalize your design!

Step 5: Finish with Ribbon

Wrap the stems with ribbon, leaving a few inches exposed at the bottom. Tie a bow or secure the ribbon with pins.

Bridesmaids’ bouquets are a chance to complement the bride’s bouquet while letting her arrangement shine as the centerpiece. The key is creating a cohesive look that ties everything together without overpowering the main bouquet. Here are some ideas to achieve that balance:

1. Smaller Versions of the Bride’s Bouquet
   Keep the same flowers and greenery but scale it down for a simpler, understated look.

2. Focus on One Feature Flower
   If the bride’s bouquet is a lush mix, use just one of those flowers for the bridesmaids’ bouquets. For example, if the bride has tulips, roses, and peonies, bridesmaids can carry just tulips.

3. Monochromatic Magic
   Stick with a single color palette that complements the bride’s bouquet. If her bouquet is a blend of pinks, whites, and greens, bridesmaids could carry all-white arrangements with matching greenery.

4. Greenery-Focused Bouquets
   Create chic and minimalist bouquets with greenery like eucalyptus, ruscus, or ferns, leaving the bold blooms to the bride.

5. Use a Common Element
   Incorporate one unifying detail from the bride’s bouquet—like a sprig of baby’s breath or a ribbon in the same color—for a cohesive yet subtle touch.

6. Hand-Tied Bouquets
   Keep the bridesmaids’ bouquets casual with hand-tied arrangements that echo the bride’s style while being lighter and less structured.

7. Seasonal Simplicity
   Highlight seasonal flowers that complement the overall wedding theme, like wildflowers for a spring wedding or muted tones for a fall celebration.

These thoughtful touches ensure the bridesmaids’ bouquets look stunning while letting the bride’s arrangement take center stage! As it should.

Roses are classic and versatile, making them a perfect choice for boutonnieres and corsages. Their timeless beauty ensures they’ll look stunning no matter the wedding theme. Here are some tips to make them extra special:

• Opt for a single rose in a color that complements the wedding palette, such as white for a classic look or blush for a romantic vibe.
• Pair the rose with a small sprig of greenery like eucalyptus, ruscus, or a tiny fern for added texture.
• Add a subtle detail like a bud of baby’s breath, a small berry (hypericum or brunia), or a tiny filler flower for extra charm.
• Wrap the stem with floral tape for security, then cover it with ribbon or twine that matches the groom’s attire or the wedding colors.
• For a modern touch, consider adding an unexpected element like a metallic pin or dried flower accent.

• Combine two to three small roses or rose buds to keep the arrangement light and delicate. Spray roses work beautifully for corsages due to their petite size.
• Accentuate the roses with soft fillers like baby’s breath, wax flowers, or tiny blooms in coordinating colors.
• Greenery such as eucalyptus or ivy can add an elegant, flowing look to the corsage.
• Use a satin or lace wristband to attach the flowers for a classic style, or go for a pearl or rhinestone band to add a touch of glamour.

• For extra personalization, incorporate meaningful elements like a small charm or ribbon with a sentimental color.

Roses are a foolproof choice for both boutonnieres and corsages, blending sophistication and romance in every detail!

The ribbon you choose can enhance the overall look of your bouquet. Here are some ideas:

• Satin Ribbon: Smooth and classic, great for traditional weddings.
• Velvet Ribbon: Rich and luxurious, perfect for winter weddings.
• Sheer Ribbon: Light and airy, ideal for spring and summer events.
• Silk Ribbon: Adds a romantic, vintage touch.

Silk Ribbon: Soft and flowy, for a high-end, elegant finish.

If you’re planning a DIY wedding, buying bulk roses is the way to go. You’ll save money and have access to a wider variety of colors and types. Plus, bulk roses are typically fresher than pre-made bouquets, giving you better quality for your arrangements.

If arranging your own bouquet feels overwhelming or if you’re short on time, premade rose bouquets can be a lifesaver. They offer the beauty of fresh roses without the hassle of designing the arrangement yourself. Here’s everything you need to know about using premade rose bouquets for your wedding.

Premade bouquets are perfect for brides who want gorgeous flowers but don’t have the time, skills, or resources to DIY. Here are some benefits:

1. Classic Rose Bouquets

These are simple, elegant arrangements featuring roses, such as red, white, or pink, with other accent flowers. They’re perfect for traditional or minimalist weddings.

2. Mixed Floral Bouquets

These bouquets combine roses with other blooms like protea, ranunculus, or spray roses for added texture and depth.

3. Colorful Bouquets

Choose bouquets that feature a mix of rose colors to match your wedding theme. Popular combinations include blush and white, red and pink, or peach and coral.

4. Seasonal Bouquets

Premade bouquets often feature roses paired with seasonal greenery and flowers, making them ideal for a cohesive wedding look.

Even if you’re opting for premade bouquets, there’s still room for personalization. Here are some ideas:

1. Add Ribbon

Wrap the stems with a ribbon that matches your wedding colors. Choose from satin, lace, or velvet to enhance the look.

2. Incorporate Additional Blooms

You can purchase additional bunches of blooms to add to your premade bouquets to make them truly unique and special! Love a certain flower but it's not part of the premade package? Add it on!

3. Accent with Baby’s Breath

Add sprigs of baby’s breath for a soft, romantic touch. Bride’s favorite!

4. Personalize with Jewelry

Attach a family heirloom, locket, or brooch to the ribbon for a sentimental addition.

Premade rose bouquets aren’t just for the bride. Here are other ways to use them in your wedding:

1. Bridesmaids’ Bouquets

Choose smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet or complementary styles for your bridal party.

2. Reception Decor

Place premade rose bouquets in vases to double as centerpieces or table accents.

3. Ceremony Arrangements

Use premade bouquets to decorate your ceremony space. Place them on pedestals, pew ends, or the altar for an elegant touch.

Keep your roses looking their best with these care tips:

• Hydrate: Trim the stems at an angle and place them in water as soon as possible.
• Store Properly: Keep roses in a cool, dark place until you’re ready to use them.
• Refresh Water: Change the water every two days to keep the roses fresh.
• Remove Wilted Petals: Gently pluck any outer petals that look damaged.
