25 Single-Flower Arrangements We Love

Planning a winter wedding? Why not carry a bouquet of poinsettias? If red reminds you too much of Christmas, consider a white arrangement like the one above. Poinsettias symbolize cheer, success and community spirit, so you'll be walking with well wishes down the aisle. This bride sealed the deal with pearls, incorporating classic style into her special day. For more winter bouquet options, check out this post.

A full tulip bouquet (which symbolizes eternal love) is perfect for a spring wedding. Meaning is everything, and with these beautiful blooms, you'll be telling a love story all your own.

Because mums are so big, it only takes a few to make a bouquet look full (making them very cost-effective). These bold blooms symbolize good things regardless of where you are on the globe. In Asia, for instance, they represent life and rebirth, while in North America, they represent optimism, longevity, and good fortune. We love them all.

If you're worried, a single flower arrangement will be too boring, consider dressing it up with twigs, like this bride from An Elegant Vancouver Wedding Inspired by Fantasy Novels. Twigs might seem completely unexpected in a wedding bouquet, but not a single one looks out of place in this arrangement. When worked in the right way, they help create a gorgeous display.

Dahlias are a great idea if you're interested in a vibrant and feminine arrangement. Their breathtaking beauty is unmatched, and we love how this bride brought it all together with a pearl brooch. Romantic elements such as pearls, diamonds, and sparkles are a wise way to accessorize delicate dahlias.

A bouquet of lavender will add a dreamy feel to your ceremony. And once the party's over, the bouquet will save well and keep its scent for a long time. Lavender has so many wedding-appropriate meanings that it's practically destined for a place in your bouquet, such as devotion, serenity, and grace. See a stunning collection of floral trends here.

Sunflowers are bright, playful, and perfect for an arrangement at a rustic country wedding. Who doesn't want a little sunshine during this special occasion? It's smiles all around with this one, and we can see why. See more at A Quaint Country Wedding in Zurich, Ontario.

Lilac bouquets like this one smell great and look even better! We're loving how the bridesmaids' dresses coordinate with the flowers and how their bouquets are distinctly different from the bride's. Both varieties here are equally vibrant and filled with fragrance, so much so that we can smell the luxurious aroma from here.

Eye-catching texture and a creamy white colour combine to make this peony bouquet both delicate and striking. Paired with a white gown, the effect is breathtaking. It proves that texture has just as much of an impact as colour when creating a stunning bouquet, and we can't help but agree. See more in An Elegant Wedding in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Add some sparkle to a bouquet of pink roses with some jewels. They're a great way to incorporate glamour into nearly every aspect of your ceremony, so why not the flowers? Wrapped in pink ribbon, this bouquet is fit for a princess. See more of this wedding in A Sparkling Pink Celebration in Hamilton, Ontario.

We absolutely love the idea of making baby's breath the star in this bouquet. They have a delicate aesthetic that just fits, and tying them together with twine gives a simple arrangement a charming touch. Even better, this flower symbolizes everlasting love. Need we say more?

Daffodils often symbolize new beginnings, so that's why they're an obvious choice for your wedding bouquet. Their sunny disposition certainly helps, too, as they bring brightness and warmth with you down the aisle. Stick with one colour palette, or switch it up and play with shades of pink, orange, yellow, and white for an eye-catching look.

Spider mums are a striking way to pack a lot of punch into just a few flowers. Consider having your bridesmaids carry them for a unique arrangement. Not only will these bouquets cut back your budget big-time, but their natural whimsy and charm will make an impact at any wedding.

If you're choosing a single flower arrangement but still want some contrasting colours, choose a multi-coloured bloom like in this bouquet. Orchids have so many colours (with a unique meaning for each) that you can tell a full story through flowers alone. Yellow symbolizes new beginnings, while purple represents royalty, admiration, and respect. Fertility, charm, and love are just a few more ways to weave a tale through your bouquet.

Simple and sweet, daisies are a symbol of purity and gentleness. This bride went big and bold on her big day and united multiple elements together with the same shade of alabaster white.

Sometimes a boldly-coloured single flower bouquet can make an even bigger statement than a mixed bouquet. Vibrant orange isn't a colour we've seen float down the aisles every day, which is why we can't take our eyes off this beauty.

As far as we're concerned, carnations are extremely underrated. Not only are they inexpensive and gorgeous, like in the bouquet above, but they're also known to last a long time. Carnations are brimming with meaning too. Red symbolizes deep love, while pink blooms like these represent love, enchantment, and gratitude. Sounds good to us!

We love the way that solid purple arrangements, like this one, contrast with bridal gowns. These lush blossoms are about as vibrant as they come, so prepare for those compliments to come rolling in. Purple also symbolizes royalty and admiration, which is perfectly suited to such a special occasion.
