How to Choose a Wedding Bouquet
When choosing a wedding bouquet, the bride relies primarily on personal preferences, as well as the style and color of the dress. If the wedding dress is luxurious, richly decorated, embroidered with beads, rhinestones, sequins, and shiny threads, it is best to choose simple accessories for it so that the decor does not look excessive. On the other hand, for a modest, simple dress, you can even get an extravagant bouquet of bright flowers decorated with ribbons, rhinestones, and crystals.
An important point when choosing a bouquet is its proportions: the bouquet should harmoniously complement the bride's outfit, without covering the dress or distracting attention from the main star of the celebration. The bouquet shouldn't be too small or overly modest, but cascade bouquets or flowers with long stems will only look good in the hands of tall women. Such flowers are also suitable for long, narrow dresses, especially mermaid style. A win-win choice for any dress is neat, compact bouquets, which can vary greatly depending on the chosen color scheme, accessories, and decor.
A florist will help you choose a beautiful bouquet shape and color palette by showing available options and how to best pair them with different dresses. A classic round bouquet or spherical bouquet, a cascade bouquet, flowers in a bouquet holder — your choice will depend on many factors that a professional will help you consider.
When choosing the right flowers for your bouquet, do not forget about the proper and neat arrangement of their stems. Florists usually wrap them tightly with ribbons to form a bouquet handle. It is important that it is not too long, as this spoils the overall impression of the look.
Modern fashion trends allow replacing a traditional bouquet with an original and unusual jeweled brooch bouquet, a bracelet or a wreath of fresh flowers, or even simply freesias, gardenias, or roses woven into the hairstyle — Greek style. Flowers at a wedding are a must-have attribute, but how they are styled is up to the bride herself, preferring classic options or fashion trends.
