A marriage proposal is a very exciting event, in which you need to take into account every little detail in order to hear the cherished “Yes!” One of the important points is flowers, because in many cases they can say more than the most beautiful words. We tell you in our material which bouquet to choose for a marriage proposal.
The best flowers for an engagement bouquet
The basic rule for choosing a bouquet for such an important event as a marriage proposal is its impressive appearance. And it doesn’t have to be a composition of 151 roses. The main thing is with what feeling it was collected. The winning options are:
- White. Plants of milky, cream or white color are the best solution. Firstly, they emphasize the solemnity and excitement of the situation. Secondly, they look graceful, gentle - just as you need on such an important day. The classic is roses, but you can always replace this option with orchids, alstroemerias, peonies or lilies.
- Pastel shades. No matter what age you are asking your girl to marry, plants in pastel shades will be an excellent and authentic solution. The delicate composition is made up of white or lilac roses, pink peonies, and soft lilac eustomas.
If you want to surprise with originality, you can make a composition of flowers in the shape of a heart, and put an engagement ring in its center: such a surprise will definitely remain in the girl’s memory!
Deliver it yourself or choose delivery?
Asking your beloved to marry is simple, but this process will become much more interesting and memorable if you carefully think through the details of your proposal. You can present a bouquet in different ways, and each has its own characteristics:
- Personal presence. A touching moment with tender words takes place in a romantic setting. Such a meeting, of course, will be remembered for a long time, especially if the girl does not like pomp and excessive attention from others.
- Delivery. If your beloved doesn't mind surprises, you can surprise her. For example, sending a bouquet with a ring to your home or work - such an act will delight not only the recipient, but also her friends and colleagues.
Of course, conversations about weddings and engagements are best done in private, since this is a matter of only two people. This is important to make the moment not only solemn, but also touching, enchanting and exciting.
Which engagement flowers to avoid?
What flowers should you use to propose to a girl? We recommend proceeding from the preferences of your beloved, since the classics are always relevant. For example, aristocratic roses, especially bush or peony roses, will effectively complement a declaration of love. Charming freesias are not devoid of nobility, and they also symbolize trust and youth. The popular peony, lush, delicate, evokes a feeling of awe and creates a romantic atmosphere. Eustoma exudes amazing lightness and innocence.
But there are plants or bouquets that it is better not to bring to the engagement party:
- Compositions of yellow flowers. This shade is strongly associated with separation, so it will be strange to start a new - family life - with yellow roses, gerberas or chrysanthemums. The sign may not work, but it’s definitely not worth trying your luck and spoiling your mood on such a holiday.
- Cheap bouquets. A marriage proposal is an event that some girls wait for years. It would be very strange to present three roses or a modest bouquet of gerberas on this long-awaited day. There is always time to give banal compositions, but on your engagement day you should choose a luxurious option that you will want to tell the whole world about.
- Frivolous compositions. A bouquet thought out in terms of color and selection of plants will tell about feelings much more than simple words.
- Wedding bouquets. No matter how much you would like to amaze the future bride, you should not rush things and hand over a wedding bouquet - everything has its time!

Features of the bouquet: important details
- Size. An engagement is not a wedding yet, so it is better to avoid lush and luxurious compositions in white. But small bouquets will not be suitable either, since the degree of the event is quite solemn.
- Decor. A marriage proposal is about love, and you can express it with a bouquet designed in the shape of a heart. It can be composed of plants of the same color (white, red, soft pink), or it can be mixed in an original way and create an interesting composition.
- Package. The solemnity of the moment can be easily emphasized with different packaging options. For example, 25 peonies or tulips will look more beautiful if you arrange them in a bright red hat box. And the set of 101 roses is perfect on its own, so there is no need for extra packaging materials. An original option would be a heart in the shape of a hat box, with multi-colored roses, orchids and other plants neatly placed inside.
- Additional details. If you want to really surprise your soulmate, you can add to the bouquet a set of balloons with a thematic inscription, for example, “Be my wife!” or “Say Yes!” - no girl can resist such pressure!
If you put an engagement ring at the center of the composition, an ordinary date will suddenly turn into the most special day.
