Bridal Bouquet SECRETS; tHE DETAILS EVERY BRIDE NEEDS TO KNOW…

Your bridal bouquet…

Your bridal bouquet is more than just a beautiful arrangement of flowers; it’s a reflection of your style, a complement to your wedding outfit and a keepsake of one of the most special days of your life. With so many details to consider, choosing the right bouquet can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. As an experienced professional in the wedding industry, I’ve worked with countless brides to create bespoke floral designs, that enhance their wedding day look. Let’s break down the key factors to think about when deciding on your bouquet.

Size and shape; A bouquet that compliments your bridal look

One of the first things to consider is the size and shape of your bouquet. The goal is to choose a bouquet that compliments your outfit rather than overshadowing it. For example if your choosing a dress with lots of incredible detail and fabric, then having a subtle bouquet style would pair beautifully with it. On the other hand if you love the chic understated gowns, you can have more detail and shape within your bouquet. It’s all about balancing style and working with a florist who understands how to work with your vision, as well as advise when needed. The proportions matter too, your bouquet should feel balanced against your height and frame. A petite bride may feel overwhelmed by a large, overflowing arrangement, whereas a taller bride can carry off a more substantial design. Remember, your bouquet is an accessory, not the centerpiece of your look.

Combine colours that reflect your wedding style

The colour palette of your bouquet should harmonise with your wedding theme and personal style. All colours evoke different feelings and emotions from the timeless romantic white wedding, to the bold modern colour shades that give a laid back luxury style. For vibrant and playful wedding styles, striking hues like deep reds, jewel tones, or vibrant pinks can make a statement. Your bouquet is an opportunity to incorporate the accent colours used throughout your wedding design, tying your entire aesthetic together. Consulting with your florist to explore seasonal options can help you achieve the perfect combination whilst staying true to the floral style you love.

Think of your bouquet as the ultimate bespoke bridal accessory

While your bouquet is an important part of your overall look, it should never steal the spotlight from your outfit or your beaming wedding day smile! The arrangement should feel cohesive with your gown and other accessories, not overpowering. Avoid heavy, dense greenery heavy bouquets that can feel heavy or overly distracting. Instead, focus on lightweight airy styles that look effortlessly chic. Details like delicate smaller flowers, or a variety of natural textures can add movement and elegance without it looking too busy. Think of your bouquet as a finishing touch, a way to enhance your beauty and tie your bridal style together.

Holding your bouquet with confidence

How you hold your bouquet can make a significant difference in your wedding photos. The ideal position is waist height, with your hands resting gently in line with your hips. This positioning not only feels natural but also allows your bouquet to be visible without blocking the details of your beautiful outift. Practice holding your bouquet in front of a mirror before the big day to ensure you’re comfortable and confident. Don’t be afraid to lower the bouquet slightly as you walk down the aisle, as this creates an elongated silhouette and keeps the focus on your face. All experienced wedding photographers will help guide you on the day, but it’s worth having a practice before hand to help settle any pre wedding nervs.

Sentimental Touches for a Personal Connection

Your bridal bouquet can also carry deep sentimental value, making it a meaningful keepsake from your wedding day. Incorporating family flowers, such as blooms that hold special childhood memories or were part of a loved one’s garden, can add such a personal touch. Bespoke details like silk ribbons, charms, or lockets with photos of loved ones can make your bouquet uniquely yours. These small, thoughtful elements add emotional depth to your arrangement and can be cherished long after the day is over. Talk to your florist about how to incorporate these details into the overall design.

In conclusion….

Your bridal bouquet is more than just flowers, it’s a reflection of your style, a meaningful accessory, and a part of your wedding story.
