While there are plenty of colors to focus on in your big-day bouquet, many brides opt to carry white for their wedding. The choice may be anchored in tradition, but that's not the only reason it's so popular. White bouquets complement any wedding dress, and never pull attention away from the bride. Better yet, they go with nearly any color palette and fit into your celebration's style, whatever its formality level.
Another perk is that many wedding-worthy blooms look beautiful in white, offering a wide array of flowers to choose from. Roses, peonies, and lilies are conventional examples, while orchids, anemones, ranunculus, and dahlias are more modern.
Whether you go with a timeless, classic arrangement or more inventive bundle, there's an inherent beauty in a mostly white or all-white wedding bouquet. Ahead, we've rounded up some of the loveliest arrangements we've come across to help inspire the bouquet you carry on your own big day.
