Your bridal bouquet is one of the most important details of your wedding day – a beautiful floral statement that complements your dress, theme, and personal style. From selecting the perfect flower types and colours to finding the ideal size and shape, there are many factors to consider.
 
In this guide, CyEhis Events shares expert tips to help you choose a bouquet that enhances your wedding’s overall aesthetic and creates unforgettable moments.

1. Consider Your Wedding Dress

Choosing a bridal bouquet is not just about picking your favourite flowers. It’s also about ensuring that your bouquet complements your wedding dress, its style, embellishments, and the overall aesthetic of your bridal look

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.

6. Consider Seasonal Blooms

Opt for flowers that are in season during your wedding. This not only ensures freshness but can also be more budget-friendly.

Incorporate meaningful elements, such as charms, ribbons, or family heirlooms, to add a personal touch.

8. Coordinate with Bridesmaid Bouquets

While your bouquet can stand out, it should also coordinate with the bridesmaids’ bouquets, creating a cohesive look.

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.
