How To Choose A Wedding Bouquet That Is Right For You...

Most brides will try and avoid it as long as possible, but choosing a wedding bouquet is something that all brides-to-be will have to do eventually. It's not an easy task though! You have to pick a wedding bouquet that is right for you, and the rest of the bridal party, and suits the style and theme of your wedding. And then you have to choose a bouquet that suits your bodyshape. Get this wrong, and rather than show off your best features, the bouquet will highlight your worst flaws. Definitely something you should avoid if you dont want to be cringing every time you see the wedding photos!

While looking through the magazines and photos, try and answer these 6 questions in your head:
What colors do you want?
What flowers do you want?
What shape do you want?
What size bouquet do you want?
What type of greenery do you want?
Would you like fresh flowers, or silk flowers?


Silk flowers are cheaper than fresh flowers, but look just as good, and can be kept after the wedding without preserving.
The type of stems you choose (natural or wired), will limit the types of bouquet you can make.
You should try and keep the flower girl bouquets in a similar style, but try to make them smaller. After all, it's YOU who is the star of the wedding.


1. Short ladies:
I recommend that short ladies go for a large teardrop or sheath bouquet, as they need to add height. These two types of bouquets give the illusion of length, were as a posy would make you look more compact and shorten you even more.

2. Tall Ladies:
I recommend that tall ladies go for a large posy or a medium teardrop bouquet. A large posy will draw the eye down and give people a focal point so that they won't be focusing on your height. A medium teardrop will also draw the eye down so that your height looks a little more even.

3. Large Ladies:
I recommend that large ladies get a large bouquet. A small bouquet will exaggerate your width, and make you seem larger than you really are. Use a large bouquet, which will make you seem much slimmer.



Good Luck!
