How to choose a Bouquet Size?
Here are some tips for choosing a Bouquet for your wedding day.
Choosing the Right Wedding Bouquet Size: Insights from a Photographer
As a wedding photographer, Iâve spent countless hours beside brides on their big day. With over 500 weddings and counting!. After witnessing so many brides with bouquets of all shapes and sizes, Iâve come to one simple conclusion: bigger is NOT always better.
While your florist will offer valuable expert advice, remember, theyâre not the ones carrying the bouquet around all day long.
âĽStyle Of Bouquet: Modern Bouquets tend to be a bit smaller and less packed. Traditional weddings will call for larger more sumptuous bouquets.
âĽSize and Style of Dress: A full dress will probably look better with a larger bouquet, but it also depends on the style of the dress, just like the style of the bouquet.
⼠Size difference: Consider the difference in sizes between the Bride and Bridesmaids Bouquets.
Smaller Bouquets Are Often the Best Choice
Smaller bouquets are usually:
- Lighter and easier to handle throughout the day.
- More practical for walking, posing for photos, and adjusting your dress.
- Visually balanced, ensuring they donât overwhelm your bridal look or hide your dress details.
However, if you do go smaller, make sure your bouquet is noticeably different in size from your bridesmaidsâ bouquets to ensure you stand out.
Small to Medium: The Perfect Balance
In my experience, a small to medium bouquet strikes the perfect balance. Itâs:
- Comfortable to hold for extended periods.
- Doesnât hide the top half of your dress in photos.
- Keeps the focus on you, not just the flowers.
Itâs a long day, and trust meâyouâll thank yourself for choosing a bouquet that feels natural to carry, instead of something heavy and cumbersome.
In the end, your bouquet should complement you, not compete with you. Choose wisely, and youâll feel relaxed, confident, and picture-perfect all day long! đ¸đ¸
Your Bouquet, Your Story
Your wedding bouquet is more than just flowers! Itâs a statement, a mood-setter, and a key part of your bridal look. Whether itâs small and delicate or bold and vibrant, the right bouquet will make you feel confident and radiant. Take your time, do your research, and donât be afraid to ask your florist for advice.
After all, youâll be holding it for most of the day! So, choose a bouquet that feels right for youâsomething thatâs comfortable, beautiful, and reflects your style. Now go on, pick those perfect blooms, and let your bouquet tell a story as special as your big day! đ¸đ°đ
