If you're in the middle of planning your dream wedding and are searching for bridesmaid bouquet tips, you've come to the right place! Your bridesmaids' bouquets should complement your bridal bouquet without outshining it. In this blog post, we explore how to design beautiful bridesmaids' bouquets that will perfectly accentuate your wedding theme and overall look.
DO… Consider Your Wedding Theme
First and foremost, consider the color palette and theme of your wedding when selecting the flowers for your bridesmaids. What color dress will your bridesmaids wear? Are you planning a rustic or traditional wedding? Choose blooms that complement your own bouquet and the overall color scheme of the event.
DONT… Outshine the Bride
Bridesmaids' bouquets are typically smaller than the bride's bouquet and are often designed as clutch bouquets. This style allows your bridesmaids to comfortably carry their bouquets without overwhelming their look or yours. A common mistake when designing bridesmaid bouquets is overcrowding them with too many different types of flowers. Keep it simple, focus on a few key elements that work well together.
DO… Mix & Match Bouquet Styles
Mixing styles allows for the bride's bouquet to stand out as the focal point, while the bridesmaids' bouquets complement and enhance the overall look. Are you planning a cascading bridal bouquet? Design clutch style bouquets for your bridesmaids! The flower choices are endless, but you’ll want to select similar blooms for both your bridal bouquet and your bridesmaids. This will create a cohesive look for your entire day while accentuating the main focus… YOU!
DONT… Wait to Plan Your Flowers
A professional wedding florist can help guide you through the entire process. From choosing the right flowers for your bouquet, to delivery & setup, these experts will help create your dream wedding. Give yourself plenty of time to work with your florist so everything is designed exactly how you envisioned. Remember, certain flowers are only available during their unique season, so you’ll want to consult with your florist as early as possible for the most options.
