Muscari Bouquet Ideas

Muscari flowers are a genus of between 30 to 40 species (although only 4 to 5 of these species are widely available in the market).These perennial flowers, which are commonly referred to as grape hyacinths, are members of the family hyacinthaceae.

Muscari Flower Meaning:

Deep blue hues are commonly associated with power and confidence – and so this shade of muscari may be given to someone coming into their own, or assuming a job with a lot of responsibility; while the deep purple shades can represent mystery, calm and creativity. This hue might be presented to an artistic individual – who will also be likely to truly appreciate the unique appearance of the flower itself.

Following are three beautiful bridal bouquets made exclusively out of Muscari flowers.

You can combine the beautiful blue hues of the Muscari flowers with many other flowers to create a uniquely wonderful bouquet.

Lilac Blue Bouquet Inspiration

The arched contour of this arrangement is achieved by wiring both flowers and berries. Jewel-tone viburnum berries accentuate the fluttery lightness of the purple hybrid delphiniums and mirror their dark centers. Slender brodiaea blooms hang upside down at the edges of the bouquet. A vintage green satin ribbon covers the handle and is tied with a two-tone bow.


These plump grape-hyacinth and delicate lavender florets are dressed with a mauve silk handle; a pin adorned with a lavender glass bead secures the ribbon on top.



A traditionally shaped bouquet becomes more unexpected with a profusion of blues, including azure miniature irises, and a variety of textures. Muscari resembles small bunches of grapes; feathery scilla in the palest blue gives a sense of delicacy. The picot-edge bow reflects the flowers' wispiness.
