5 Ways To Achieve The Perfect Wedding Bouquet

The Bridal Bouquet is an essential detail every bride pays attention to. In the past, brides carried flowers to protect them from illnesses and misfortune. For today's Brides the Bouquet can be seen more as an accessory; it ties in the whole wedding look. 

With so many shades, textures, styles and designs to choose from, it can feel like a stressful task choosing the perfect flowers for your Bridal Bouquet; we have helped many Brides choose the flowers that are perfectly suited to them and we are here to help you too, with our five ways to achieve the perfect Bridal Bouquet!

One Define your colour palette

These are all the colours that you want throughout your wedding décor. Your Colour palette subtly ties together all the details. You want your Bouquet to fit into this. Defining the colours will also help to narrow down the flowers that are available to you. There are so many choices, and knowing the sorts of colours you are working with will make the job a lot easier, as sometimes too much choice can be a bad thing.

Two What's in Season?

It’s important to remember that not all flowers will be around and in season when you want them to be. One of our go to tips is to make sure you ask your florist what flowers will actually be around during the time of your wedding date. They will have lots of detail on what will be available, which helps narrow your search. They should provide a list for you; if not, Google has all the answers to decide what you do and do not like.

Three Decide your style

With so many bridal bouquet styles to choose from, it can be hard to know with best compliments your wedding's overall aesthetic. But we are going to breakdown the most iconic styles to help you decide. 

There is the pageant or presentation bouquet; this is typically longer stems and is designed to fit into the crook of the bride's arms; this is popular in modern boho weddings if that's the look you're going for. 

The hand-tied bouquets are becoming more popular as they give a freshly picked flowers feel and the wild aesthetic that many brides are looking for with their outdoor ceremony, they are also one of our favourite styles. 

The cascading Bridal Bouquet falls like a waterfall, with long vines falling from the front. This makes for the perfect fairytale wedding, so if you're looking for something super feminine and elegant, then these are for you. 

Finally, the round bridal bouquets; are arranged into a perfect dome and tied together tightly with a ribbon. These are classic statement and are best for a formal wedding aesthetic.

Four Symbolism

Flowers have different symbolic meanings, whether that be of happiness or serenity. Whilst it is not the most crucial part of your wedding for your flowers to symbolise something specific, we think it can be a sweet personal touch. So why not research the flowers that you like, to see what they mean (Carnations - Boldness, Orchid - Beauty, Tulip - Love). Not only that but it could help you narrow down one flower from another, if you are having a tricky time deciding.

Five Have fun with it!

Finally, don't forget to just have fun with it. At the end of the day, they are your flowers, so what you decide goes. If you like a particular flower, go for it, you don't have to have a reason. This is an enjoyable time, so don't forget that and get too caught up in the stress of it. Whatever you choose will be perfect for you.

So there is it, our five ways to achieve the perfect Bridal Bouquet, for your perfect day!
