Recommended Flowers For Wedding Bouquets

When it comes to choosing flowers for your wedding bouquet, the options are endless—especially in the world of high-quality artificial blooms. From classic roses to whimsical wildflowers, faux flowers offer incredible beauty without the limitations of seasonality or fragility. But if you're wondering which blooms photograph beautifully, feel amazing to hold, and elevate your entire bridal look, we have favourites for a reason.

At The Bloss, we specialise in premium artificial arrangements for weddings across Australia, and we’ve curated a list of the best silk flowers to include in your bride bouquet. Spoiler alert: real-touch roses and dahlias always top the list—and once you see them, you’ll understand why.

1. Roses – The Timeless Favourite

Roses are the ultimate wedding flower, and in artificial form, they’ve become a showstopper.
Our real-touch roses are incredibly lifelike—soft, velvety, and beautifully structured. They photograph just like fresh roses and bring that classic, romantic feel every bride loves.

Why we love them in artificial wedding bouquets:

  • Premium real-touch texture that feels natural

  • Available in every shade from crisp ivory to dramatic burgundy

  • Hold their shape all day (and forever!)

  • Perfect for every wedding bouquet style—modern, classic, boho or luxe

If your bouquet needs elegance, softness, or a traditional bridal feel, roses are the go-to.

2. Dahlias – Full, Fluffy, and Utterly Gorgeous

Our second top pick? Dahlias.
Real dahlias are notoriously fragile—which makes artificial ones an absolute win. The real-touch and silk flower varieties we use are full, structured, and unbelievably realistic. They add instant movement and volume without needing constant rearranging.

Why dahlias are a must-include:

  • Stunning full petals that add texture

  • Bold focal bloom without heaviness

  • Select colours with a real-touch finish that feels like the real deal

  • Perfect for modern, garden, or whimsical wedding styles

They pair beautifully with roses for a lush, dimensional bouquet that looks premium and polished.

3. Calla Lilies – Sculptural, Elegant and Timeless

Calla lilies bring a refined, sculptural beauty to wedding bouquets. With their smooth, flowing form and graceful lines, they add instant elegance and a modern edge that pairs beautifully with both soft blooms and structured arrangements.

Why we love calla lilies:

  • Adds a sleek, sophisticated silhouette

  • Creates a clean, modern and timeless look

  • Pairs beautifully with roses, orchids, and minimalist greenery

  • Offers striking impact without feeling overpowering

Artificial calla lilies are ideal for brides who love a polished, contemporary bouquet with flawless shape and form that lasts all day—no bruising, bending, or wilting

4. Delphinium – Elegant and Textural

Delphinium stems are perfect for adding height, interest, and a gentle pop of colour. Their elongated blooms create gorgeous structure while still feeling soft and feminine.

Why delphinium is a beautiful addition:

  • Adds height and silhouette to your bouquet

  • Introduces beautiful vertical texture

  • Available in stunning soft tones (hello, bridal blue!)

  • Complements both classic and contemporary designs

Artificial delphinium blends effortlessly into bouquets, giving richness and shape without overpowering focal blooms.

5. Orchids – Luxe and Modern

Artificial orchids add a touch of luxury and refinement to any bouquet. Their smooth, sculptural petals bring a modern elegance that fresh orchids often struggle to maintain throughout the day.

Best for:

  • Contemporary bouquets

  • Luxe coastal weddings

  • Brides who want a standout, high-end element

6. Cosmos – Light, Airy and Effortlessly Romantic

Cosmos add a sweet, delicate touch to any spring wedding bouquet. Their soft, fluttery petals bring a sense of movement and whimsy that complements fuller blooms like roses and dahlias.

Why we love cosmos:

  • Adds softness and a light, airy finish

  • Brings organic, garden-inspired bouquet charm

  • Works beautifully in modern, boho, and romantic styles

  • Delicate look without the fragility of fresh cosmos

Artificial cosmos are especially perfect for brides who love a soft, floaty bouquet style without worrying about wilting petals.

Why Choose Artificial Flowers for Your Bouquet?

Artificial wedding flowers aren't what they used to be—they’re better. With real-touch materials, premium finishes, and forever-lasting beauty, brides are turning to faux blooms for all the right reasons.

Benefits include:

  • Durable and weather-proof

  • Hypoallergenic

  • Perfectly colour-matched every time

  • Lasts as a keepsake

  • More budget-friendly than many fresh options

Our Top Recommendation

If you’re planning a bouquet and want it to look ultra-realistic, luxurious, and beautifully photogenic, we often recommend starting with:
✨ Real-touch roses
✨ Real-touch dahlias

These blooms provide the perfect base—timeless, textured, and unbelievably lifelike. From there, adding touches of cosmos and delphinium helps create a bouquet that feels airy, romantic, and beautifully balanced.
