If you're set on having a unique and stylish bouquet for your wedding, don't let tradition prevent you from fulfilling your dreams! From native flowers to international, exotic ones, from budget to wildly spendy, from the romantic to the sophisticated and the simplistic to the diva-licious, your red wedding bouquet can be one or all of these things!

Idea No. 1 - Choose a formal or casual style
For a wintertime wedding you can opt for a formal, professionally-coordinated red wedding bouquet of fresh seasonal flowers like red lilies.

For a summer wedding that's casual and young, grasping the spirit of the season comes easy with a vibrant red roses wedding bouquet. Offset these with white stephanotis for an eye-catching effect.

Idea No. 2 - Go unique with a pattern like the Biedermeier bouquet
This style works especially well for a red rose bridal bouquet wherein the rosebuds are tightly bunched together in a circular pattern, as determined by the Swiss origins of this arrangement.

The red Biedermeier bouquet may include a variety of red-colored flowers for each ring, as opposed to the ...
... multicolored effect of the original 1800's style. For contrast, you can add in a ivory or white silk or lace ruffle under the bouquet's outermost ring to enhance its dramatic quality!

Idea No. 3 - Get a red, hand-tied tropical flowers wedding bouquet
Red Calla lilies are amazingly pretty wedding flowers that can truly showcase your wedding dress with their vibrant and exotic appeal, especially if you're planning a beach or outdoor wedding! Or, you can opt for Plumeria crimson and Lilies of the Nile in a rosy shade.

Hand-tying is especially easy, too, if you're good at crafting and adding bows. Twist some clear synthetic thread or craft wire around trimmed stems, then casually loop a few satin ribbons and tassels to hang down from the knot of the bouquet. There! You've made it look magical in just a few minutes.

Idea No. 4 - Get a tinted Gerbera daisy wedding bouquet
You can buy pale shades of white, pink and orange Gerbera daisies you can tint at the tips with deep red color. Surround these beauties with dark red Gerbera daisies for a complementary monochromatic look to your wedding bouquet.

Idea No. 5 - Get a kissing ball bouquet
You might remember your Nana using clove pomander balls in her wardrobe to make her clothes fragrant. You can use this clever old-fashioned method and also give your wedding dress a welcome boost by arranging your favorite red flowers †Orchids, Petunias, Roses, mini Calla lilies etc. †in a kissing ball bouquet, similar to the pomander look. It's old-worldly and absolutely charming!

Idea No. 6 - Red wedding beaded bouquet for a glitzy look
Purchase a long string of faux seed pearls and loop these around your red wedding bouquet for a truly uptown look. Or, embellish the blooms in your arrangement with sparkly accents like rhinestone picks, diamante butterflies, glue-on beads or even red berries hung in short strings from decorative gold tassels on the outer floral ring of your bouquet.

Idea No. 7 - Sparkle-spray your wedding bouquet to highlight the red
If you've chosen red flowers for your wedding bouquet, draw attention to this unconventional color. Give them a fresh and dewy-wet look by spraying some sparkle mist on them, available at the local party store!
