A Strong Image, But...! What Happens When Proteas Are Transformed into a Romantic Theme? 【Floral Arrangements & Bouquets Special】

I Love a Cute Vibe ♡

Proteas have become much more familiar flowers in recent years.

They are South African wildflowers characterized by their torch-like shape.

A few years ago, they were quite rare as floral materials, but with the boom of casual and rustic-themed weddings, they quickly became a popular choice.

The protea bouquets that were trendy at that time had a somewhat calm and chic feel. (They were casual and rustic in atmosphere.)

That was refreshing back then, making them look stylish, but after several years since that trend, what I think now is…

"I love proteas because they can also be cute ♡"

That’s it ♡

About the Types of Proteas＊

There are both dark-colored and light-colored proteas.

<This is a dark-colored protea>

<This is a light-colored protea>

If you like a romantic atmosphere, I recommend the light-colored proteas.

The color is a cute blend of muted pink and green, and their unique shape makes for a great accent.

They match well with roses, but arranging flowers that bloom in different places together gives an international flair, adding an unexpected and wonderful vibe ♡

In this article, I will introduce romantic protea-themed bouquets and floral arrangements.

I hope it makes you think, "Wow! Proteas can have such a cute vibe! My impression has changed!" ♡

Look at this ♡

For example, here’s a bouquet ♡

It’s combined with cute little white flowers (the buds mixed in are adorable). Quite fresh, right? ♡

This one is a combination of pink proteas, white dendrobium orchids, and white hydrangeas ♡

A combination with lisianthus and tulips ♡ All the flowers create a lovely pink-to-green gradient ♡

Paired with the same muted pink roses ♡

A combination of peonies and proteas. It has a loosely glamorous feel typical of overseas arrangements＊

Isn’t a combination of baby’s breath and proteas innovative? ♡

It’s unexpected but cute, right? ♡

Paired with branches resembling snow willow in bud form for a delicate feel.

The combination of quarter-rosette peach-colored roses and astilbes is adorable.

Here’s an arrangement with white anemones ♡ If you look closely, peacock feathers are mixed in!

Coordination with the bridesmaids.

The bride's bouquet includes proteas, combined with antique pink roses and white roses. The bridesmaids' bouquets are just roses without proteas ♡

I thought it was amazing how cohesive the bouquet of only roses looked＊

Here’s a bonus, a bouquet with white proteas. It goes well with colorful flowers in peach hues ♡

【Floral Decoration Section】 Romantic Protea Arrangements

Now, I will introduce images of table flowers for guest tables and main tables instead of bouquets＊

First up is a protea inside a glass dome ♡

The combination with white long candles or tulips on a glass stand creates a romantic atmosphere ♡

A style with many small bottles for decoration.

Paired with spray roses for a garden vibe ♡

A single protea in a shabby chic white vase ♡

This one is paired with a French-style floral vase ♡ Even with a lot of greenery, a cute vase gives a romantic vibe ♡

A gold stand-type vase with roses and proteas ♡

Combined with lisianthus, peonies, and quarter-rosette peach-colored roses ♡

The combination of a pure white tablecloth and mint green charger plates creates a refreshing ambiance＊

Even without bright colors, this combination of pink, white, and green is universally considered a beautiful styling ♡

Super Romantic Wedding ♡

Although proteas have established an image of being slightly chic and calm, like a strong and powerful woman...

They are surprisingly good at creating romantic and cute styling too ♡

Since they are imported, they fall into the category of relatively expensive flowers per stem, but...

I hope after seeing this article, more people recognize their new charm and they become even more beloved flowers... ♡
