Rustic bouquets should also include a larger amount of foliage to create a woodland-like feel. Finish it off with brown twines that keep your bouquet together. However, if you’re looking to incorporate flowers as part of your centrepiece, be sure to pair the flowers with woodland items.

This theme is best for bold flowers and colours, even for the vases used. A common item seen in most boho-chic centrepieces are feathers, hence be sure to include that! If you’d like your centrepieces to stand out, use terrariums with succulents instead of flowers.

Vintage themed flowers are generally characterised with romantic colours and muted palettes. When thinking of flowers for your vintage flowers, think of those that can be found in your grandmother’s garden. Flowers that are not exactly extravagant, but more simple and classic like roses, mums, carnations or delphiniums. A vintage bouquet can also be coupled with a brooch or lace material to tie it all together.
