While there are tons of colors to focus on in your big-day bouquet, many brides opt to carry white for their weddings. 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 draw attention away from the bride herself. Even better, they go with nearly any color scheme and will fit in with your celebration's style no matter the formality of the day. The color offers a blank slate to build the rest of your wedding's details off of and allows your bolder details to shine. On the other hand, white bouquets don't have to be subtle—some of the most statement-making clutches are innovative alternatives to typical assortments. Whatever the case, a bundle of white blooms can represent a fresh new start in your life.

Best of all, many wedding-worthy blooms look beautiful in white, meaning there's an incredible array of options to choose from. Roses, peonies, and lilies are conventional examples, while orchids, anemones, and protea are more modern. Bridal favorites like ranunculus and dahlias also look stunning in the color, and, generally speaking, you can find quite a few in-season white flowers whenever you're getting married. No matter what you choose, your blooms are bound to look clean and lovely, and can run the gamut from eye-catching to subtle—it's entirely up to you.

Whether you go with a timeless, classic arrangement or more novel, inventive bundle, there's an inherent beauty in an all-white or mostly-white bridal bouquet. Ahead, we've rounded up some of the loveliest white wedding bouquets we've come across.
