T
he bridal bouquet is one of the most important accessories for a wedding, and designing just the right
bouquet to coordinate with the style of a wedding dress is a sign of a truly professional floral designer.
A bridal bouquet must also represent the personality of the bride and allow her to shine.
As with wedding dresses, there are modern and traditional styles for bouquets. For example, round
bouquets and nosegays are traditional designs while hand-tied bouquets and free-form bouquets tend
to be more contemporary. So, if a dress is traditional or classic, a traditional-style bouquet would be
the right accessory. e size and shape of the bouquet should also complement and highlight the details of the dress—
as well as the stature of the bride.
is year, we collaborated with WedLuxe Media (wedluxe.com, @wedluxe) founder and editor-in-chief, Angela
