10 Textural Bouquets to Inspire the Whimsical Bride

We’re back with the final installment of our bridal bouquet inspiration series, and today we’re featuring my personal favorite: textural bouquets! The perfect accessory for brides who love whimsy, textural bouquets are a playful way to add some fun to your wedding day look! 

Now, if you’re searching bridal bouquet styles, you probably won’t find “textural bouquets” mentioned on a Martha Stewart list. I’m taking some liberties here and including everything from rounded bouquets with lots of interesting elements to looser, more organic hand-tied styles; but the common thread throughout each of these designs is texture! The polar opposite of Classic Round Bouquets, the bouquets featured today are much more playful! They feature a variety of color palettes, and each use an interesting mix of flowers and greenery to achieve their less formal look. Celebrity brides who have carried textural bouquets include Princess Beatrice, Mandy Moore and Michelle Branch! 

I’ve selected 10 Belli Fiori bouquets to illustrate how unique textures can add a touch of whimsy to your wedding day style…

Libby’s bouquet featured peach ranunculus, cream roses, light pink lisianthus, seeded eucalyptus, ruscus and the most beautiful viney jasmine. The soft color palette and playful greenery were the perfect compliment to her outdoor ceremony. See Libby & David’s full wedding day here!

Alicia’s bold purple bouquet is more traditional in its rounded shape, but the textural flowers give it a fun twist. By incorporating more greenery, the bridesmaids bouquets took on a more organic garden style, which allowed Alicia’s bouquet to pop despite using the same materials and color palette.
