Pastel wedding bouquets are irresistible. While many brides associate these soft shades with springtime, we love to see pastel tones woven into weddings all year round. These delicate hues have a soothing, nostalgic feel, reminiscent of 1950s romance and a simpler, less complicated way of life.
Pastel pink, mauve and baby blue are the most popular shades, alongside mint green, peach and periwinkle. If you’re wondering how to design the perfect pastel wedding bouquet, we’ve gathered some of our favourite creations featuring pastel David Austin Wedding Roses to inspire your bridal style.
Pastel Pink Rose Bridal Bouquets
Pale pink roses are beautifully versatile, taking you from classically feminine to wildly romantic. The beauty of David Austin Roses lies in their individuality. No two roses, even of the same variety, are ever quite the same. This natural charm adds depth and character to every bouquet.
Our pastel pink wedding roses include raspberry-rippled Keira, peach-pink Charity with her unique green stamen, frothy Eugenie in blush peachy tones, and sophisticated Purity, whose ruffled ivory petals reveal a blush-dusted centre. With such a varied palette, there’s a perfect pastel pink rose for every bridal bouquet.
If you can’t choose just one? You don’t have to. Layering several blush roses creates an elegant, artistic effect. Enhance the look with complementary pastel flowers such as sweet peas, lavender, nigella, and campanula, or add contrast with vibrant varieties like Constance and Miranda.
Ivory and White Rose Bridal Bouquets
A classic ivory rose bouquet is effortlessly chic and the epitome of timeless bridal style. David Austin Wedding Roses bring depth and sophistication to an all-white arrangement, whether you prefer a neat clutch of creamy rosettes or a more natural design with textured greenery and trailing tendrils.
If you’re planning an all-white wedding, you will soon discover that a true white rose doesn’t really exist in nature. Ivory roses often carry subtle undertones of blush, cream or apricot and this delicate pastel nuance only further elevates their beauty. Our brightest, most luminous ivory rose varieties include Leonora, Purity, Patience and Eugenie, each becoming brighter and whiter as they bloom.
Pastel Peach Rose Bridal Bouquets
Soft yet joyful, peach roses are the perfect balance of pink and orange, making them a beautiful choice for pastel wedding bouquets. Our most beloved peach rose is Juliet, admired worldwide for her radiant pastel shade, distinctive cupped shape and voluminous ombré petals that fade from soft peach to warm apricot.
We love to see Juliet paired with ivory roses like Purity and Leonora for a peaches-and-cream palette. Silvery green foliage such as eucalyptus, olive, dusty miller and brunia adds texture and elegance. For a pastel palette with contrast, try pairing peach roses with pale lilac or powder-blue flowers like lavender, salvia, scabious or eryngium.
Designing Your Perfect Pastel Wedding Bouquet
Whether you’re drawn to blush pink, ivory or peach tones, pastel wedding bouquets are endlessly romantic. These soft, dreamlike hues create a sense of timeless beauty while still feeling fresh and modern. By combining pastel roses with seasonal foliage and complementary blooms, your bouquet becomes a true work of art.
