What You'll Learn
Choosing your roses
Red roses are a classic choice for a wedding bouquet and can be used to create a romantic, modern, or whimsical arrangement. When choosing your roses, there are several factors to consider to ensure that you select the best blooms for your special day.
First, decide on the shade of red that you prefer. Red roses come in a variety of hues, from bright and vibrant reds to deeper, moodier shades like oxblood and burgundy. The season of your wedding may influence your choice, as darker reds are often associated with autumn and winter, while brighter reds can add a pop of colour to a spring or summer celebration.
Next, consider the size and variety of rose you would like. Classic rose varieties such as hybrid tea roses or floribunda roses are popular choices for bridal bouquets and come in various sizes, from small and delicate to large and full-bloomed. You can also choose between traditional red roses and spray roses, which have multiple smaller blooms on each stem.
When selecting your roses, it is important to choose high-quality blooms. Look for roses with sturdy, straight stems and vibrant, undamaged petals. The roses should be fully open but not yet showing their pistils or stamens, as this indicates that they are past their prime.
Finally, think about any additional flowers or greenery you want to include in your bouquet. Red roses pair well with a variety of blooms, including peonies, dahlias, and eucalyptus, allowing you to create a unique and personalised arrangement.
By carefully considering these factors when choosing your roses, you can be sure to create a stunning red rose wedding bouquet that will be a beautiful part of your special day.

Adding complementary flowers
Mixing Red Roses with Other Flowers:
- For a romantic and classic look, pair red roses with delicate pink or white roses. The combination of red and pink evokes a sense of love and passion, making it perfect for a wedding.
- Create a bold statement by mixing red roses with deep, moody hues such as burgundy or oxblood. Flowers like dahlias, peonies, and scabiosa in these shades will add depth and richness to your bouquet.
- If you're aiming for a more understated or summery vibe, consider combining red roses with white blossoms. This creates a bright and fresh contrast that is perfect for outdoor or warm-weather weddings.
- For a touch of elegance, introduce ivory, cream, or blush-colored flowers to your red rose bouquet. These soft neutrals will complement the boldness of the red roses without overwhelming them.
- Add a pop of color with vibrant orange or fuchsia flowers. This combination is perfect for a whimsical or playful wedding theme.
- Include greenery such as eucalyptus, olive branches, or magnolia leaves to add texture and create a natural, organic feel.
Incorporating Red Flowers of Different Varieties:
- For a unique twist, mix different types of red flowers with your roses. Flowers like red peonies, anemones, ranunculus, or anthurium will create a stunning and cohesive bouquet.
- If you want to stick to a single color palette, combine different shades of red. This can be achieved by mixing light and dark red flowers or even adding in some burgundy or berry-colored blooms for added depth.
- Play with different textures and shapes of red flowers to create a visually interesting bouquet. For example, pair full-bloomed roses with delicate ranunculus or anemones.
Adding Accents and Fillers:
- Enhance your red rose bouquet with complementary accents such as baby's breath, greenery, or even branches of berries. These additions will create a whimsical and romantic look.
- For a touch of sparkle, consider adding rhinestones or glitter to your bouquet. This is perfect for a glamorous or modern wedding theme.
- Ribbons are a great way to add texture and a personal touch to your bouquet. You can choose a bold color like red or burgundy, or go for a softer shade like blush or ivory.
Remember, when adding complementary flowers to your red rose wedding bouquet, the key is to create a harmonious arrangement that reflects your style and theme. Feel free to experiment with different combinations and trust your instincts to create a beautiful and memorable bouquet.

Selecting a ribbon
When selecting a ribbon to complement your red rose wedding bouquet, there are a few things to consider. Firstly, think about the overall colour scheme and theme of your wedding. If you have chosen a particular shade of red for your roses, you will want to select a ribbon that complements this shade. For example, if you have opted for a vibrant red rose, a rich burgundy ribbon could add depth to the bouquet. Alternatively, a crisp white ribbon would create a striking contrast.
The type of fabric you choose for your ribbon is also important. Silk ribbons are a popular choice for wedding bouquets as they have a luxurious look and feel. You could opt for a smooth, sleek silk ribbon, or perhaps a raw silk ribbon for a more whimsical, romantic feel. Satin ribbons are another elegant option and can add a beautiful shine to your bouquet. If you are looking for something a little different, you could consider a velvet ribbon, which would give your bouquet a unique, textured look.
The width of the ribbon is another factor to consider. A wider ribbon will create a more dramatic effect, while a narrower ribbon will be more subtle and delicate. You could also experiment with layering multiple ribbons of different widths and textures to create a unique, statement-making look.
Finally, think about how you would like to incorporate the ribbon into your bouquet. You could tie it in a simple bow, or perhaps wrap it around the stems of the roses to create a beautiful, cohesive look. You could even try braiding or twisting multiple ribbons together for a unique effect.

Using artificial flowers
Artificial flowers are a great way to save money on your wedding bouquet. You can make your own bridal bouquet using artificial flowers, which will showcase your creativity and bring down the cost. Artificial flowers are also a more sustainable option, as they can be reused or repurposed after your wedding. Here is a step-by-step guide to creating a beautiful red rose wedding bouquet using artificial flowers:
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
First, you will need to source your artificial red roses. These can be purchased online or from craft stores. Look for high-quality artificial flowers that look and feel as real as possible. You will also need a bouquet holder, floral foam, a bouquet collar, floral wire, and any embellishments you wish to include, such as rhinestone gems or ribbons.
Step 2: Prepare the Bouquet Holder
Start by cutting a hole in the floral foam and attaching it to the straight handle of the bouquet holder using hot glue. This will serve as the base of your bouquet. Then, attach the bouquet collar to the holder by gluing it in place. You can choose a collar that complements the colour of your roses or opt for a neutral shade like white or green.
Step 3: Add the Roses
Cut the stems of your red roses to the appropriate length, typically around 2 inches. Begin attaching the roses to the floral foam, starting in the centre and working your way out. Split the foam into sections and fill each section with roses, ensuring they are securely fastened. You can use hot glue or floral tape to attach the roses.
Step 4: Embellish and Enhance
To add extra detail and a personal touch to your bouquet, consider incorporating baby's breath stems or other small flowers. You can also add embellishments like rhinestone gems or pearls by gluing them to the floral wire and then attaching them to the foam base. Ribbons are another way to enhance your bouquet and can be wrapped around the stems or left to trail for a romantic, elegant look.
Step 5: Finalise and Adjust
Once you have added all your flowers and embellishments, take a step back and review your bouquet. Ensure that the flowers are evenly distributed and that any gaps are filled. Adjust the placement of the roses or add extra embellishments as needed to create a full and balanced arrangement.
Creating your own artificial flower bouquet allows you to customise every aspect, from the shade of red to the type of ribbon. It is a cost-effective and creative way to have a stunning wedding bouquet that will last long after your special day.

Arranging the bouquet
Selecting the Right Roses:
Start by choosing the type of red roses you want to include in your bouquet. You can opt for classic red roses, garden roses, or even burgundy or dark red varieties for a moody look. Consider the size of the roses and whether you want a mix of open and closed blooms to add texture and visual interest.
Adding Filler Flowers and Greenery:
To create a full and romantic bouquet, add some filler flowers and greenery to complement the red roses. Baby's breath, eucalyptus, and grasses are popular choices that can add a delicate touch to your arrangement. You can also incorporate other types of red flowers, such as dahlias, peonies, or ranunculus, for added depth and colour variation.
Creating the Shape:
There are several ways to shape your bouquet, depending on the overall style and look you want to achieve. For a classic and elegant feel, go for a rounded or cascading shape. If you're aiming for a more modern or whimsical style, try an asymmetrical or loosely arranged bouquet. Play around with the placement of the roses and filler elements until you achieve the desired shape.
Using Floral Wire and Tape:
To secure your bouquet, use floral wire and tape. Start by crossing two pieces of floral wire in an "X" shape at the base of the stems. Wrap the wires around the stems a few times and then bind them together with floral tape. Continue wrapping the stems with the tape, covering any visible wires and creating a smooth handle.
Adding a Ribbon:
Finish off your bouquet by wrapping a ribbon around the stems. Choose a colour that complements your red roses, such as a deep burgundy or a contrasting shade like ivory or blush. Leave a length of ribbon trailing down for a romantic touch. You can also add embellishments like rhinestones or brooches to the ribbon for extra sparkle.
Caring for Your Bouquet:
To ensure your red rose bouquet stays fresh and vibrant, cut the stems at an angle and place them in water as soon as possible. Keep the bouquet in a cool, shaded area until it's time for the wedding ceremony. With proper care, your bouquet will look stunning and be a memorable part of your special day.
