Choosing the Perfect Flowers for Your Cascading Bridal Bouquet

Congratulations, beautiful bride-to-be! As you embark on your wedding planning journey, one of the most exciting decisions you'll make is choosing the perfect flowers for your cascading bridal bouquet. With so many gorgeous blooms to choose from, we’ve compiled our best tips to help narrow down your options. We're here to guide you through the process and help you create a bouquet that is truly unforgettable!

Wedding Flowers - Colors & Theme

When it comes to selecting flowers for your cascading bridal bouquet, it's important to consider both the color scheme of your wedding and the overall theme. Are you dreaming of a romantic garden wedding? Opt for soft pastel blooms like peonies, roses, and hydrangeas. Planning a boho-chic celebration? Embrace wildflowers, eucalyptus, and garden roses for a more relaxed and natural look. Whatever your style may be, there are endless possibilities when it comes to creating a unique and personalized bouquet.

Seasonal Flowers

In addition to considering the aesthetic of your bouquet, think about the seasonality of each flower. For example, peonies are typically available in the spring, while dahlias are more common in the late summer and fall. Choosing seasonal blooms can ensure that your bouquet is not only beautiful but also fresh and vibrant. Whether you opt for classic roses or exotic orchids, selecting flowers that are in season can enhance the overall quality and longevity of your cascading bridal bouquet. Work with your florist so they can help guide you towards seasonal options that align with your vision and budget.

Cascading Bridal Bouquet vs Traditional Bouquet

When choosing a cascading bridal bouquet over a traditional bridal bouquet, there are a couple factors to consider. First, think about the size and shape of your bouquet in relation to your wedding dress. Cascading bouquets are large and make a bold statement. Second, keep in mind the practicality and weight of the bouquet. Cascading bouquets can be heavier than a clutch bridal bouquet, so it's important to ensure that it's comfortable to hold throughout your ceremony and photo sessions.
