Tulips are some of the prettiest bouquet flowers made for the timeless and elegant bride. Tulips ooze beauty whether they are vibrant, pastel, or crisp white. They are versatile and lend themselves to any wedding style. They have graceful petals and stems that evoke dimension and a whimsical feel. Combine a variety of tulips from parrots to foxtrot layered with white tulips and blush garden roses. If you’re going for an asymmetric shape, choose unopened tulips to form a traditional round bouquet. You can also go for a monochromatic look or a small neutral posy for an effortless and chic look.
