The Destination Wedding Bridal Bouquets

Whether your heart is set on something classic or unconventional, the flower options for bouquets can be overwhelming. We're here to help, offering nine inspiring themes for various locales, from classic roses and fragrant herbs to bright tropical blooms.

Vintage
To blend casual charm with lush abundance, opt for a dainty arrangement like this one, featuring roses, jasmine, lilacs, sweet peas and dusty miller, plus trendsetting anemones (the striking white flowers with black centers).

Simple
Sometimes simplicity is best. It can even bring plenty of drama, as in this elegant clutch bouquet of calla lilies and philodendron leaves, which looks equally lovely on the beach or in a church.

Avant-garde
Nothing against traditional roses and peonies, but if you want to give your bridal bouquet a twist, try some unexpected flowers with lots of personality, like this hot-colored combo of pincushion proteas and orchids.

Classic rose
The rose is always tops among wedding flowers, touted for its beauty, year-round availability, and longevity and durability in arrangements.

Formal garden
Whether you hold it in a castle, ballroom or manicured garden, a formal ceremony embodies elegance and tradition. 

Tropical
Planning a wedding in Hawaii or the Caribbean? Then fix on flowers that evoke an exotic, tropical vibe.

Wildflower
A wildflower bouquet offers a host of flower and foliage options and the chance to really reflect the season. Use it for a mountain meadow, rustic barn or even vineyard.

Herb
Herbs can bring rich fragrance to a bouquet, and most of them hold up well as cut material.

Informal garden
For an informal ceremony, you don't need masses of fancy flowers, and bouquets are generally looser and simpler.
