Find the right bouquet style for your gown

.

There are so many bouquet styles available (not to mention sizes), but there are a few main ones which time has proven popular. When choosing the right style you should take in to consideration a few things. The first thing you should think about is the over all style of your wedding. This will help you to select the right type of flowers for the bouquet along with your chosen favourites. The second thing you want to think about is your wedding gown. For example if you want a slimming look you will choose a lengthening gown and the perfect bouquet to complete the look would be a trailing bouquet. See below for the best combos:


The Cascade Bouquet

Perfect for a wedding that's tropical or more formal and opulent. Great for those brides wanting to look slimmer. If you have a pear body shape steer cleer of this style of bouquet.
Pair with... a slimming dress.


The Posy Bouquet

Great for most types of weddings. If you have a petite body shape this bouquet is perfect for you. If you are tall try a very large posy bouquet.

Pair with... a full ball gown



The Hand Tied Bouquet


Ideal for a garden or relaxed wedding. Follow the same guidelines as for a posy bouquet.

Pair with... a more relaxed style of gown.

If you have your heart set on a cascade bouquet but know it won't suit the dress you also have your heart set on then this may be the perfect solution. Add cascading ribbons to a posy or hand tied bouquet for the best of both worlds.



And always, always carry your bouquet below your waist, resting it at your hips greates a longer torso which is much more elegant.
