How to select the perfect wedding bouquet

Are you getting married soon? Have you thought about why type of bouquet you are going to have?

It’s a difficult choice and given there is such a great deal of options, then that makes it doubly hard.

These days there is such an abundance of choice that there are very few restrictions.

There are only a few restrictions that you should consider before making your choice and that is the style & fabric of your dress along with the theme of wedding that you are having.

Although there are many types of bouquet available, these generally fit into a few key categories and these are detailed below.

The first style of bouquet is very common to many weddings this season and that’s due to it’s simple nature. Usually consisting of a bunch of calla lillies or tulip, this arrangement is designed to be carried across the arm. Such an arrangement lends itself to a spring or summer event that have a pure and simple theme. So, don’t forget your garden wedding favours to complete the look.

Note though that these can look quite plain and ordinary if table decorations and bridesmaids are also in whites and creams.

The ever faithful trailing bouquets are always popular too as they add drama to the bridal gown. These bouquets are ideal for shorter, rounder brides as they are very slimming.

They can look over the top if they are too big and can detract from the bride herself, so watch out. Trailing bouquets can contain many types of bloom such as lilies, roses and greenery.

A round hand held posy would usually be held by bridesmaids although more and more brides are going for this option. These are shaped like a small ball into which roses are worked to produce a beautiful pattern whichever angle it is viewed from. These bouquets last really well because the centrepiece is usually heavily watered thus making this choice a great one for warm weather weddings. A floaty and trailing round bouquet is a great alternative; this is the kind that is more loosely tied and often with trailing greenery. This has all the advantages of the usual hand held posy except the look is softer and less ‘neat.’ This makes the bouquet look more natural and less contrived which is perfect for brides who are looking for something more unusual and organic looking.

If you are a fashion victim hell bent on showing off,t hen go for a funky bouquet. These often include other objects such as feathers, ribbons, shells etc in addition to flowers. Some brides choose to have no fresh flowers in their bouquet at all. The beauty of a bouquet like this is that it won’t wilt, it will last much longer and will provide a real talking point.

Whether you are going for a classical posy, a trailing bouquet or an unusual bouquet, it should be a personal choice. The type of bouquet you choose needs to be right for you and in keeping with the rest of the theme for your big day.
