Monochrome Bouquet Flowers: Trending Wedding Florals

Monochrome bouquet flowers

Monochromatic colour schemes are set to take the wedding world by storm in 2025 - a storm of floral designs based around single colour palettes, celebrating your favourite tones and creating striking visual impact. Monochrome doesn’t just mean black and white. In fact, we can create monochrome bouquet flowers, monochrome installations and arrangements, and monochrome meadows in almost any shade you can imagine. Here are my top tips for how to pull off this wedding floral trend this year.

Monochrome Wedding Flowers: One Colour, Endless Possibilities

This year I am noticing lots of couples enquiring about monochromatic wedding flowers in different ways. You can opt for a monochrome bridal bouquet to really stand out as you glide down the aisle, go all-in and have your whole wedding designed with single tone florals, or play with different colour palettes for each of your bridesmaids. These designs are based around strikingly solo colours, but the possibilities for what you can do with them are endless.

I really love working with monochrome designs, especially for bouquets. Be aware though, it’s not as simple as it sounds to pull off.

Working With A Colour Palette For Monochrome Wedding Bouquets

Although the overall effect of your monochrome bouquet appears to be developed with one colour only, it’s actually very important to work with a palette. Texture, depth and movement are achieved by blending slightly different tones together, and when working with a natural medium like flowers means you have organic variation.

It takes a lot longer to order and arrange the flowers for a monochrome bouquet, and I spend a long time carefully selecting the right stems to go together.

Best Colours For Monochrome Wedding Flowers

You shouldn’t limit yourself when deciding which colour you’d like to make the focal point of your wedding flowers, however it’s important to consider what is naturally occurring and therefore easier to work with. In the past I have created monochrome bouquets in shades of white and nude, rich dark burgundy, and peachy pinks.

All-white is a popular choice, and I created a stunning white rose bouquet for Ellie which you can see here. This requires using premium rose varieties, the most beautiful Playa Blanca garden roses with a gorgeous natural shape and snowy white colour. It’s important to remember that, even when working with all-white, flowers naturally contain green stems - adding strategic foliage can actually help to pull the monochrome colour scheme together.

Jess and Luke’s monochrome wedding flowers were based around a creamy nude colour palette, and incorporated delicate pampas grasses, spray painted ferns and opulent orchids - the result was warm and decadent, giving the impression of being formed of a single colour but with the delicious richness of complementing tones.

Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2025 is Mocha Mousse, an indulgent coffee colour that would make the loveliest monochrome wedding flower colour. Incorporating toffee, chocolate and teddy shades would look beautiful either across a whole wedding or as a contrasting bridal bouquet.

Types of Flowers for a Monochrome Bouquet

It is important to remember that opting for a monochrome bouquet requires careful selection of the right individual flower stems, and this really makes the difference between something visually impactful and something that falls flat. This can mean a difference in cost, since the more premium stems lend themselves more towards the monochrome style. For example, white avalanche roses often have a yellowy tinge and can dull the effect of an all-white bouquet.

Don’t be misled by thinking that working with a single colour can cut costs - if anything, monochrome florals can increase your floral investment because of the precise and bespoke nature of the style. If you ask me, though…it’s worth it!

I love to create monochrome wedding bouquets or florals as a whole, so if you’re considering this chic style for your 2025 or 2026 wedding, I’d love to hear from you using the contact link below.
