Your Bridal Bouquet: More Than Just Flowers
Your bridal bouquet is more than an accessory – it's a reflection of your personal style, a complement to your dress, and a keepsake you'll treasure forever. As a luxury wedding florist, I've helped hundreds of brides find their perfect bouquet. Here's everything you need to know.
Consider Your Dress First
Your gown should guide your bouquet choice:
Ball Gown or A-Line: A cascading or large round bouquet balances the volume of your skirt beautifully.
Sheath or Mermaid: A sleek, structured bouquet or elegant arm sheaf complements these fitted silhouettes.
Bohemian or Flowy: Loose, garden-style arrangements with trailing ribbons feel effortlessly romantic.
Size Matters
The scale of your bouquet should be proportionate to your frame:
- Petite brides: Choose a smaller, more compact arrangement
- Tall brides: Can carry larger, more dramatic bouquets
- Full figures: Medium-sized bouquets work best
- White/Ivory: Classic, pure, elegant
- Blush/Pink: Romantic, feminine, soft
- Bold Colors: Confident, modern, memorable
- Greenery-Heavy: Organic, fresh, bohemian
- What flowers will be in season for my wedding date?
- Can you incorporate any family heirloom elements?
- How will the bouquet look after 8+ hours?
- What's included in the bouquet preservation?
- Do you provide a toss bouquet?
