As any florist will tell you, each season presents a different array of wedding flowers and colour options to choose between. When considering your options, one key element to keep in mind is the shape of your dress–you don’t want a huge bouquet overpowering your look (especially if you’re wearing a sleek wedding gown). The colour of your bridesmaid dresses could also play an important factor when selecting bouquets — think about how the shade (or shades) of the dresses will appear when paired with the blooms. Your height should also be taken into consideration — you want to make sure that your arrangement is proportional. Picking the right type of wedding flowers can also heavily depend on the type of theme or colour scheme you have in mind for the day–whether it’s modern, classic, elegant or vintage. Lastly, think about the presentation of your wedding flowers. What will your wedding flowers be wrapped in? What else do you want to include in your bouquets to reflect your personality and make it your own (some brides like adding a charm or a photo of their parents)? To provide some inspiration to help in your search for the ideal wedding flowers, we chose 20 bouquets from real brides that might also be perfect for your big day.

When choosing a bouquet you should also consider your size as well. If you are slim and short don’t get a bouquet that is to big for your size.
I love the red bouquet..
