Floral Recipe: Pastel Wildflower Bouquet

At the heart of this arrangement are romantic peonies, garden roses and traditional roses in creamy whites and blush pinks, providing the perfect foundation. Buttercream Stock provides fullness. Larkspur and delphinium add height with their spiky blooms in soft pink and powder blue, while lisianthus fills the middle ground with papery texture. The supporting cast—scabiosa with its distinctive pincushion centers, delicate waxflower clusters and limonium, and simple tulips—adds whimsy and varied textures.

The key to recreating this look is varying heights and allowing stems to dance naturally outward, embracing the wild, unstructured beauty. This pastel recipe works beautifully for spring and summer occasions, from garden parties to romantic weddings, where the soft palette and mix of textures create captivating visual interest.

Design Tips

• The key to a ‘just picked’ wildflower bouquet is to minimize foliage. In this bouquet, we did not use any foliage at all. This allows the flowers to shine.

• Reflex the tulips for a modern twist.

• Keep your heaviest blooms low in the bouquet and allow the lightweight blooms to dance above them.

• Adding one deeper color (in this case, the raspberry scabiosa) adds interest without changing the overall palette.
