When you walk down the aisle on your wedding day, you carry flowers that you will remember forever. Picking a bridal bouquet is one of the most important tasks for any bride-to-be.
CHOOSING YOUR BOUQUET
Before you start looking at bouquets, you'll need to think about the style and color of your wedding dress. Wedding flowers should complement your gown and personality and never detract from it. A pure white bouquet teamed with a white dress can have a draining effect, leaving them washed out on your wedding photos. It's best to choose a bouquet with a hint of your color theme and added foliages. Consider choosing a main focal "theme" based around your favorite flower
Bouquets should be made in direct proportion to your body. .
Choose a hand tied bouquet to ensure a balanced look if you're medium height and build. This also suits the slim line silhouette of a bias-cut style of dress, add an understated and contemporary look.
Choose a small formal hand tied bouquet to complement and not overwhelm a petite figure.
Choose a large hand tied bouquet to help detract from any "problem" areas you may wish to disguise.
Choose a tear drop/cascading bouquet to create the illusion of a slimmer figure, as it helps draw the eye downwards. It ensures balance with the fitted bodice and full skirt of a princess dress and add the finishing touch to a classic, traditional look.
With a huge range of styles and colors to choose from, it might be tempting to go over board and carry a bouquet of flowers that looks overdressed. Remember, less is more! Pick out the style that suits you best.
