Wedding Bouquets

A wedding is an expression of love between two people, but the wedding bouquet is all about the bride. Bridal bouquets offer an opportunity to infuse personality and significance.

Among the considerations as you curate your bridal bouquet: season, hue, style, and meaning. Flower trends are moving toward more sustainable choices like using local, seasonal florals. For example, fall wedding bouquets might incorporate autumn's vibrant yellows and reds by utilizing in-season blooms like pansies and violas. The style of a bridal bouquet should also coordinate with that of the wedding celebration. If it's a modern wedding, a sleek, monochromatic bouquet utilizing a single type of bloom is a chic solution.

Lastly, consider ways to work meaning into your bridal bouquet. Some brides evoke their history by working personal elements into their flowers like their grandmother's brooch nestled into the florals or their mother's necklace wrapped around the stems. In the case of the royal wedding, Meghan Markle's bouquet included flowers hand-picked by groom, Harry, from the royal family's private garden, including Princess Diana's favorite, forget-me-nots.

The final choice is whether or not to "throw" your wedding bouquet. Some brides choose to keep and preserve their bouquet or place it in memory of a loved one. Whatever your choose, enjoy the process of making your bridal bouquet an expression of you -- find inpiration and professionals here to help you do just that.
