5 Gorgeous Ways to Use Pink and White Roses in Your Wedding Bouquets

Few floral pairings feel as timelessly elegant as soft pink roses mingled with crisp white blooms. This dynamic color combination flatters every season and setting with its versatile beauty. By incorporating pink and white roses into your wedding flowers, you embrace a classic and romantic aesthetic sure to wow.

But beyond boutonnieres and centerpieces, how you utilize this iconic floral duo in your bridal bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets elevates arrangements further. Read on for five stunning ways to highlight pink and white roses for an instantly Instagram-worthy floral display.

Choosing the Right Pink and White Rose Varieties

When working with your florist to design gorgeous wedding rose bouquets, select complementary blooms that convey your wedding's overall aesthetic. Luxurious garden roses with full, heavy heads provide that classic romance in abundant varieties like Pink Avalanche, Valentine Garden and Pearl Avalanche.

For contemporary bouquets with largescale modern rose form, hybrid tea roses offer drama. Try timeless favorites like Double Delight, Chicago Peace or Gemini for pristine hybrid white and pink rose pairings. Know your theme and preferred look to guide suitable rose breed selection.

Care and Handling Tips for Pink and White Wedding Rose Bouquets

To extend the lifespan of your ceremony and reception floral arrangements using elegant pink and white roses:

Have your florist source freshly cut buds shipped overnight to arrive just 1-2 days before the event

Request the stems be re-trimmed and conditioned properly in floral preservative upon arrival

Display arrangements out of direct sunlight and blasting A/Cs to prevent premature wilting

Set roses in areas away from heat sources like candles or lighting instruments

Consider floral preservation spraying for your bouquets and arrangements to commemorate keepsakes after.

With attentive, proactive care, your pink and white rosebouquets should thrive beautifully from processional through receptions and photos for many joyful hours of celebrations ahead with guests.

1.       Blush Pink and White Cascading Rose Bouquet

Make a showstopping entrance down the aisle by carrying a bouquet abundant with gently cascading white and blush pink garden rose blooms. The relaxed, bountiful appearance feels sweetly romantic while still perfectly bridal.

Ask your florist to use each long-stemmed rose head to full advantage by leaving two feet of length or more before foliage. This enables the softly pointed buds to rain down gradually. Intermix white and light pink roses evenly to prevent solid blocks of color concentration.

For added dimension, intersperse occasional deeper pink roses throughout plus eucalyptus sprigs and trailing ivy vines. The overall effect should feel gently disheveled in a studied way that accentuates gorgeous rose detail. Wrap the gathered stems with a silk ribbon in your wedding color palette to complement your gown.

2.       Peony Pink and White Rose Composite Bouquet

Current bouquet trends embrace the eclectic composite technique mixing separate smaller floral arrangements on a base “holder” bouquet of reception florals. This multi-layered look makes pink and white roses star players in various arrangements.

Start by having your florist bind an incredibly lush, tightly gathered base of peonies in soft white and blush tones. Then affix 2-3 miniature individual rose bouquets made with White Eden and Pink Avalanche buds balanced among eucalyptus and trailing ivy sprigs atop the peony surface.

Follow the “always odd numbers” rule when grouping mini bouquets for the composite. This dynamic keeps the presentation from looking too stiff or contrived. Finish by embellishing with floral accents like white spray roses and delicate Queen Anne’s lace tucked throughout the larger bouquet.

3.       Soft Pink Ombre Rose Cascade Bouquet

Ombre detailing utilizes gradating color hues in décor from light to dark to inject modern flair. But the technique translates gorgeously to bouquets too! Carry a cascade of white roses slowly fading into deeper pink rose tones for contemporary flair with your gown.

Instruct your florist to cut rose stem lengths ascending from around 12 inches up to 30 inches long. Start by gathering white rose stems short and mid-length mixed with occasional very light pink roses throughout the bouquet’s interior base.

Then selectively incorporate lighter pink roses in medium stem lengths through the sides and front, reserving the deepest pink hues for the 30-inch stems trailing from the back bottom. The cascading colors mimic a painterly ombre fade with dreamy results. Wrap in ribbon to complement your colors and accent with eucalyptus for added texture.

4.       Blush and White Rose Ball Bouquet

Simpler rose bouquets feel equally stunning by embracing restrained elegance. Ask your wedding florist to create a softly rounded ball of blooms using exclusively white and light pink roses. Aim for loosely clustered stems of identical height gathered into a cohesive sphere shape.

Mix Freedom, Venus and O’Hara garden roses alongside Double Delight hybrid tea roses for this clean-lined bouquet. Embellish lightly with interacting vines like jasmine and passionflower plus delicate ferns or leatherleaf variants.

Then wrap the spherical bouquet stems discretely with a silk ribbon matching your wedding palette for a polished finishing touch. The purity of form and gentle color pairing needs little else to captivate. Clutch this graceful rose ball bouquet or cradle gently across your waist for timelessly pretty wedding photo backdrops.

5.       Bicolor Rose Pomander Bouquet

Originating as floral spheres carried to ward off unappealing medieval odors, modern pomander bouquets retain old-world romance. Construct a stunning wedding version utilizing fresh white and pink roses.

Ask your florist to bind stems sharply crisscrossed through a delicate sphere frame structure or Oasis foam ball form. Work in even groupings of 5-7 white and light pink rose stems inserted throughout the base. Continue intermixing both hues while covering the entire surface with rose buds.

Finish by embellishing with suspended sprigs of baby’s breath, snippets of greenery, trailing ivy vines or wheat stems for textural contrast. Clutch your stunning bicolor rose pomander bouquet by the bound base stems wrapped in silk ribbon. This eye-catching take feels sweetly nostalgic and perfectly photogenic
