There are so many gorgeous options for wedding flowers that the hard part can be narrowing it down to one bouquet choice! Do you want a nosegay or a cascade? Orchids or daisies? Petite or large? To help you make your selection more easy, learn how to pick the perfect bridal bouquet for any taste or style.
If you think of your bouquet as an accessory to your bridal gown, it can really help you zero in on the best choice.
For instance, if you plan to wear a classic silk gown with a pearl necklace, it is safe to say that you will like a classic bouquet as well.
A round nosegay of pink or white roses would be beautiful with that style of gown, as would a nice arrangement of tulips for a spring wedding.
Keep the shape of the bouquet well defined, and embellishments to the flowers minimal.
A few stephanotis with pearl centers tucked in among the roses would be a charming complement to your pearl necklace.
Tie the stems with a pretty ribbon in a bow, and you will have the perfect classically elegant bouquet.
What about the bride with more earthy tastes? A bouquet which features very natural looking flowers in a casual arrangement will be a better choice than a formal arrangement of very "perfect" blossoms.
Try a loose handtied bouquet of wildflowers tied with raffia for an outdoor ceremony.
Or create something very unique by incorporating a lot of berries, vines, and dried pods.
Combine the natural elements with flowers in a deep yellow, such as simple mums for an autumn wedding.
Aim for an arrangement which allows the flowers and other items to move a little; a tightly packed bouquet will not be earthy enough.
A bride may also wish to consider selecting eco-friendly or organic flowers for her earthy style bouquet.
Brides who adore drama and sparkle will love the style of a fabulous cascade bouquet.
Design your cascade bouquet from impressive flowers like orchids, either all in white or in a range of pinks, purples, and oranges.
When designing a cascading bouquet, try to keep proportion in mind.
Tall brides can emphasize the cascading effect with streaming trails of orchid petals and crystals hanging from the bouquet.
A petite bride will want to scale back the length of her cascade to a more modest teardrop to prevent the flowers from overwhelming her frame.
When your favorite word to describe your wedding is romantic, choose a bridal bouquet of mixed flowers in soft shades like lavender or a range of pinks.
A gentle crescent shape will showcase the romantic blossoms beautifully.
Old fashioned blossoms like ruffly sweet peas pair wonderfully with bridal favorites like peonies, spray roses, and hydrangea to create an ultra-feminine bouquet.
A fun alternative is a modern version of the romantic bouquet created from pink and black anemones.
Bind the stems with pink and black satin ribbons in a crisscrossing design, and accent the ribbons with pearl tipped pins to coordinate with a pearl bridal necklace.
Very romantic, yet also fresh and up-to-date.
There are many other great bouquet options for brides will all different types of taste.
The arts and crafts bride will enjoy a nosegay of handmade paper flowers or even tiny felt blossoms.
The ultra-modern bride might prefer to skip flowers altogether and carry a minimalist spray of bear grass tied with a wide satin bow.
Or create a fabulous architectural bouquet by winding bear grass like a cage around a group of flowers.
When your bridal bouquet suits your wedding gown and your taste, your entire look will flow beautifully.
