Your bridal bouquet is one of the most important accessories to enhance your bridal look.  It should be the perfect mix of fashion and personality. Choosing your bridal bouquet is a delightful part of wedding planning.

Here are some helpful tips to help you select the perfect bouquet for your wedding…

2. Consider Your Wedding Theme

Your wedding most likely has a theme and a carefully chosen colour palette. Ensure your bouquet aligns with the overall theme and colour palette of your wedding. It should seamlessly blend with this theme, enhancing the overall ambience.

4. Consider Your Bouquet Size

The size of your bouquet also matters, as the size of your bouquet needs to be in proportion to you, and your dress. Striking the right balance ensures that your bouquet complements your appearance without overshadowing it.

5. Consider Your Bouquet Style

Structured or unstructured, that is the question! There’s a variety of different shapes & style to choose from, whether it’s the traditional round or the classic cascade. It is always wise to consider your dress style and shape when you pick the style of  your bouquet.

9.  Consult Your Florist 

While it’s essential to consider all these factors, consulting a professional florist about your vision, preferences, and any specific flowers you have in mind is invaluable as they can help bring your vision to life. They can provide expert advice on flower choices, colour combinations, and bouquet styles that will best suit your preferences, budget, and overall wedding theme.
