Wedding flower trends are having a minimalist-meets-luxury moment, and we are so here for it. Couples are leaning into designs that feel intentional, effortlessly chic, and visually striking—proof that less can absolutely be more. One trend stealing the spotlight is monotype bridesmaid bouquets. Instead of mixing a variety of blooms into one design, these bouquets feature a single flower type, creating a vibe that’s polished, modern, and totally fashion-forward. It’s giving quiet luxury with a hint of editorial drama. The experts at Griffin’s Floral Designs are here to dish on how to make this trend your own!
Monotype Bouquets vs Monochromatic Bouquets
You’ve probably seen the monochromatic bouquet —where different blooms in the same color family come together for a look that’s effortlessly luxe. It’s a chic way to embrace minimalism while still making a statement (especially if you’re loving soft neutrals like ivory, taupe, or blush). But monotype bouquets take it up a notch by featuring just one flower variety. Imagine an all-calla lily arrangement for sleek sophistication, a bouquet of nothing but lush peonies for ultimate romance, or a single striking protea as the ultimate showstopper. It’s modern, it’s impactful, and it’s all about celebrating your favorite bloom in the boldest way possible.
Coordinating Flowers for All Bridesmaids
Every bride deserves a standout bouquet—because, honestly, all eyes should be on her as she walks down the aisle. Traditionally, bridesmaids carry smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet to create a cohesive look. But if the monotype trend has caught your eye, that’s an even chicer way to differentiate. Choose a single flower from the bride’s bouquet (or a complementary bloom) and have each bridesmaid carry a matching monotype bouquet. The result is a perfectly curated, ultra-cohesive bridal party aesthetic that feels effortlessly polished—letting the bride shine while keeping her squad looking flawless.
Let Individuality Shine
One of the biggest wedding trends in recent years has been letting bridesmaids choose their own look. Some brides opt for a color palette and let their crew pick their own dresses, while others go for a general aesthetic that allows for personal flair. And when it comes to flowers, the monotype bouquet trend is the perfect way to keep that individuality going. Each bridesmaid can carry a single bloom from the bride’s bouquet, creating a unique mix of flowers (and colors!) that still feels cohesive. Everyone will enjoy a lineup of stylish, one-of-a-kind bouquets that are as personal as they are picture-perfect.
Popular Blooms for Monotype Bouquets
When it comes to monotype bouquets, the key is picking a flower that can hold its own. Since there’s no mix of different blooms to add variety, you need one with serious texture, shape, or movement—something naturally eye-catching. Garden roses are a timeless and romantic selection, while proteas are a bold, modern, and oh-so-striking choice, and peonies are fluffy, ruffly perfection. If you’re looking for something bright and cheerful daffodils or daisies are it. For a bloom with texture and fullness, hydrangeas and dahlias deliver! Calla lilies bring sleek elegance. Tulips and ranunculus give soft, pastel charm, and larkspur or stock flowers add that airy, whimsical feel. There are so many stunning choices; the hardest decision is picking just one!
With weddings often leaning into the more is more mindset, monotype bouquets feel like a total breath of fresh air. They’re sleek, stylish, and effortlessly elegant—proving that sometimes, less really is more. (Not to mention, luxe minimalism is the vibe right now.) Whether you’re loving this trend or dreaming up something totally different, the team at Griffin’s Floral Designs is ready to make it happen.
