How To Choose a Bouquet Style: A Guide To Getting Your Dream Wedding Flowers

As the most personal element of your wedding flowers, choosing a bridal bouquet style can feel overwhelming. With so many possible shapes and sizes, combined with not knowing what flowers will definitely be available, it can be hard to know where to begin. 

The good news is that you don't have to know exactly what you want! Your perfect bouquet is probably one that's made just for you.

Below are some of the things we'd consider when choosing a wedding bouquet:

Your Outfit 

Your bouquet should complement your look, not compete with it. 

  • For clean or structured outfits (think simple satin dresses, tailored jumpsuits, or suits), we'd suggest opting for a soft, romantic bouquet that has a bit of looseness and movement to give a subtle contrast.
  • If your outfit is boho, relaxed, or detailed (lace, embroidery, embellishments, or a vintage-inspired feel) consider something textured, wild, and organic; the kind of bouquet that feels effortless and full of personality.
Your Day

Let your wedding style guide your decision. 

  • For intimate elopements, smaller hand tied bouquets and single varieties en masse feel effortlessly chic. 
  • For modern city celebrations, luxe, clean bouquets in classic colour palettes add a timeless feel. 
  • For garden or outdoor weddings, opt for a wild, textural bouquet with a little whimsy and movement. 
Trust yourself (and us!)

We don't expect you to know technical terms or the name of every flower. We encourage all of our couples to use Pinterest and share a moodboard with images of bouquets and flowers you love. Anything you're drawn to gives us an idea of your style, personality and the vibe of your day! 

We also welcome you to send us photos of your outfits, including any wedding party outfits, and your venue for the day - these give us a feel for the style, colours and shapes that will complement the existing elements of your wedding. 

If  you have an idea of what you'd like, but you're not quite sure what to order - reach out to us at info@loveblooms and allow us to help guide you in the right direction.
