The latest wedding flower trends are all about being effortlessly chic and modern. Couples are moving toward designs that feel clean, intentional, and visually striking — proving that simplicity can still make a big statement. One trend perfectly embodying this vibe is monotype bridesmaid bouquets. Rather than a mix of blooms, these bouquets feature a single flower type in varying shades or a uniform color, creating a look that’s both polished and undeniably cool. It’s giving understated elegance with a side of high-fashion editorial. The experts at WildFlower Stem & Sundry are here to spill all the tea on this fun, personalized, and oh-so-cohesive trend.
Monotype Bouquets vs Monochromatic Bouquets
You’ve probably heard of the monochromatic bouquet trend—where all the flowers stay within the same color family, playing with different shades for that effortlessly luxe look. It’s a fun way to embrace the luxe minimalism trend without sacrificing impact (especially if you’re vibing with neutrals like white or beige). But monotype bouquets take it one step further by focusing on just one type of flower. Think an all-calla lily moment for something sleek, a full bouquet of lush peonies for that romantic, ruffled drama, or even a single jaw-dropping protea as a bold statement. It’s the perfect way to let your favorite bloom take center stage.
Coordinating Flowers for All Bridesmaids
Most brides want their bouquet to stand out from their bridesmaids’—because, let’s be real, all eyes should be on her when she walks down the aisle. The classic approach is giving bridesmaids smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet, keeping hers the largest and most eye-catching. But if you’re loving the monotype trend, there’s an even chicer way to differentiate: pull a single flower from the bride’s bouquet (or choose a complementary bloom) and have each bridesmaid carry matching monotype bouquets. The result is a perfectly curated, ultra-cohesive, and clean bridal party look that lets the bride truly shine while still making her squad look flawless.
Let Individuality Shine
A growing wedding trend we’ve seen evolve over the years is encouraging bridesmaids to infuse their personality into their bridesmaid look on the big day. Some brides select a color palette and have their bridesmaids pick their own dresses, while others set a general aesthetic and let their bridesmaids really show off their personal style. And when it comes to flowers, the monotype bouquet trend is the perfect way to keep that individuality going. Each bridesmaid can choose a single bloom from the bride’s bouquet to carry as their own, creating a super fun and unique look as each bridesmaid holds a different flower (and likely color) that still offers cohesion. Everyone will love the lineup of gorgeous, one-of-a-kind bouquets that feel personal, stylish, and totally picture-perfect.
Popular Blooms for Monotype Bouquets
When choosing blooms for a monotype bouquet, it’s all about finding a flower with interesting shapes, textures, and dimensions. Since there’s no mix of different blooms to add variety, you’ll want a flower that brings some natural drama all on its own—whether through lush, ruffled petals, bold structure, or delicate movement. Some of the most popular picks are garden roses for their timeless romance, proteas for a bold, modern edge, and peonies for that dreamy, full-bodied look. Daffodils and daisies bring a fresh, cheerful vibe, while hydrangeas and dahlias add volume and texture. Calla lilies offer sleek sophistication, tulips and ranunculus bring soft, pastel elegance, and larkspur and stock flowers bring the height and whimsy. With so many stunning options, the hardest part might just be choosing the one!
In a world of “more is more,” monotype bouquets feel like a breath of fresh air. They’re clean, unique, captivating, and elegant — making a big impact without being over the top. (Plus, luxe minimalism is trending hard right now!) Whether monotype bouquets are calling your name or you have something else in mind, the experts at WildFlower Stem & Sundry are ready to bring your vision to life.
