If we've noticed anything about the contemporary wedding bouquets of late, it's that they've trended towards the uniform. We're talking simple, same-throughout arrangements that feel unfussy and chic. Just take monochromatic bouquets, for instance—comprised of blooms in just one color (or a same-hue gradient), clutches felt instantly upgraded and intentionally modern. Single-flower wedding bouquets take that trend one step further. More and more brides are carrying bunches comprised entirely of the same type of flower down the aisle. The resulting look is a streamlined arrangement that feels simultaneously contemporary and classic. It's true—these same-bloom styles appeal to both traditional and modern brides-to-be, alike. The difference in style really comes down to flower type. A bouquet made out of all-white roses or pretty pink peonies feels decidedly traditional, while bushels of sleek calla lilies feel distinctly fresh and unique. This Mibellarosa bundle of blue delphinium falls into the latter camp. That's the best part about this bouquet style—it's incredibly versatile. In some ways, though, same-flower wedding bouquets go beyond categories like "classic" and "modern." They're not just an arrangement of blooms your florist thinks works together: they're a simple collection of a floral you (and you alone!) truly love. If you couldn't imagine holding any other bloom but your favorite on your wedding day, the following single-flower style is definitely for you. Click through to discover some of our favorite examples. 02 of 19 Lilacs Lauren Fair Photography A big bunch of lilacs makes for a multidimensional bouquet, even if it's the only bloom involved—note the different tones of natural purple in this Oleander Curated clutch. More Fresh and Fragrant Lilac Bouquets 03 of 19 Sweet Peas Savan Photography We're loving the barely-there pink ombré effect of this The Blooming Bud sweet pea arrangement. 04 of 19 Wildflowers Trynh Photo Dried varieties of wildflowers work just as well in single-flower wedding bouquets. The result? A bohemian and vintage-inspired clutch, à la this one by Siren Floral Co. 05 of 19 Tulips Kayla Barker This Sprout Flowers beauty proves that there's nothing more feminine and spring-forward than a just-tulips bouquet. More Ideas for Your Tulip Wedding Bouquet 06 of 19 Roses Kevin Glaser If you're in the process of planning the traditional celebration of your dreams, you've likely already considered a beautiful bouquet of wedding-white roses. This Seaberry Farm masterpiece will convince you to go for it. 07 of 19 Lavender Kristina Adams Here's another dried floral type to use exclusively in your bridal bouquet: lavender. What the photo of this petite clutch, sourced from the Santa Barbara Lavender Farm, doesn't convey, however, is the variety's incredible scent, which added another layer to this bride's big-day aesthetic. Pretty Ways to Use Lavender at Your Wedding 08 of 19 Dahlias Karen Wise Dahlias are lush and full enough to stand out all on their own—no filler or greenery needed. A pretty pearl-accented ribbon wrap, like the one seen on this Diana Gould Ltd. arrangement, makes for a pretty touch that won't take away from the blooms.

This Amy Osaba arrangement is proof that the small white buds, paired with their accompanying leaves, are all a bride really needs. 11 of 19 Hydrangeas Harwell Photography A few bushels of hydrangea make for an easy, affordable, and simple bridal bouquet. This bride carried a blue variety (arranged by Fishers Flowers), which referenced the pale, milky-blue crystals on her wedding dress. More Hydrangea Bouquets Any Bride Would Love 12 of 19 Poppies Lauren Love Photography Poppies' sunny hue—the bright yellow-orange is so celebratory!—makes them a go-to big-day bloom. We particularly love this beauty by White Magnolia Designs, which features the bloom in all different sizes. See More Poppy Bouquets Here 13 of 19 Lily of the Valley Jose Villa These bell-shaped buds connote classic wedding symbolism (they represent happiness, luck, and purity), which makes them a great on-their-own option. Sharla Flock Design was responsible for this petite display. 14 of 19 Delphinium These long-stemmed, dramatic delphiniums from California Floral & Design are the ultimate "something blue"—and they're perfect for an easy-breezy beach ceremony. Bouquets That Can Double as Your Something Blue 15 of 19 Multi-Colored Roses Rachel Meagan Photography Another advantage of uniform blooms? They're infinitely easier to DIY into a bouquet. This bride, of UrbanStems, did just that with these pink, white, and green garden roses, which she arranged into a lush, cascading creation. Fresh Ways to Add Roses to Your Wedding 16 of 19 White Peonies Elizabeth Fogarty Photography An all-white bouquet won't detract from your bridal gown, which makes a pretty bunch of full-bloom peonies, like these from Sweet Root Village, a solid choice. The Prettiest Peony Wedding Bouquets 17 of 19 Hellebores Elizabeth Messina Photography Perfect for a winter wedding, in-season hellebores are sweet, dainty, and pretty enough to fly solo. Brown Paper Design created this bride's petite clutch. 18 of 19 Red Peonies Patrick Moyer Getting hitched in the fall, instead? Giant red peonies, like the ones seen in this Oak & the Owl masterpiece, pay homage to the period all on their own. We love how this bride paired the blooms with floor-length, multi-colored ribbons as accents. 19 of 19 Protea Carmen and Ingo Photography Looking to redefine wedding bouquets entirely? Consider a unique, tropical bouquet, like this protea arrangement by Moana Events. The all-white orchid garland is a nice touch, too. 30 Amazing Protea Wedding Bouquets Was this page helpful?
