Flower Bouquet Coloring Pages

A bunch of flowers that never wilts: these flower bouquet coloring pages show blooms gathered, tied and ready to give. There are bouquets wrapped in paper with a bow, tulips in a jar, a round bridal bouquet, a handful of daisies held in a small fist and a big mixed bunch with ferns and berries. Color one for a birthday, a thank-you or a get-well card.

How to pick colors for a bouquet

Florists plan a bouquet around a small set of colors. The same approach keeps a coloring page from turning muddy.

  • One color, many shades. Pick pink and use pale pink, rose and magenta. It always looks calm and matched.
  • Neighbors on the color wheel. Yellow, orange and red together feel warm. Blue, purple and pink feel cool.
  • Opposites. Purple with yellow, or blue with orange, makes each color look brighter. Use more of one and a little of the other.
  • White plus one. Leave some flowers white and color the rest a single shade. Shade the white petals with pale gray or green.

Then build the bouquet the way a florist would. Start with the biggest blooms, which are called focal flowers. Next color the small filler flowers and buds between them. Finish with the greenery, in two or three different greens so the leaves, ferns and stems don't merge into one patch.

The wrapping matters too. Plain brown paper makes bright flowers stand out. White tissue with a colored ribbon looks soft and bridal. For a glass jar, color the stems inside a slightly paler green and add a pale blue waterline.
