On one of the most special days of your life, all eyes are on you as you walk down the aisle. Every detail comes together to shape the moment, including your wedding bouquet. Most brides choose a wedding bouquet that feels unique to them, so it deserves a little attention on the big day, too. Aside from helping complete the bridal look, it often ends up playing a bigger role than expected (hello, bouquet toss!).
If you are not quite sure how to choose a bouquet that looks beautiful in person and in photos, don't worry. Here, we'll walk you through a few simple ways to choose and carry your flowers so they look just as beautiful on camera as they do on your wedding day.
Thank You for Helping Linard Floral Bloom
Before anything else, we want to say thank you.
Some have come into the shop to find the right flowers in person. Others have ordered online or passed on a kind word about Linard Floral to someone else. However you have supported us, you have helped our little floral business keep growing. South Burnett has always shaped the way Linard Floral serves its customers. Our customers easily notice when an arrangement has been made with thought. A bouquet made with such care will always be different from one that has been rushed.
After all, a beautiful arrangement has a way of giving a message without needing too many words. It is a privilege to be part of moments that matter to our customers. We hold that trust closely every time we create something for our customers.
1.Start With Your Wedding Style
Before you fall in love with every flower you see, take a step back to think about your wedding style as a whole. The shape of your bouquet can add personality to your bridal style. More importantly, it will make a big difference in photos too.
Round Bouquet
Also known as posy bouquets, round bouquets are usually small and neatly arranged into a rounded shape. Their simple look makes them ideal for a classic or traditional wedding style.
Cascade Bouquet
With flowers flowing downwards, cascade bouquets create a beautiful waterfall effect. This style brings a romantic touch to the bridal look.
Hand-Tied Bouquet or slightly unstructured.
As its name suggests, a hand-tied bouquet is gathered together and finished with ribbon or fabric. The natural shape is a lovely match for outdoor or garden settings.
Sheaf-style bouquet
Also known as sheaf-style bouquets, pageant bouquets are carried in the crook of the arm. Their longer shape creates a sophisticated look. Created using individual petals arranged to look like one large flower. This unusual style becomes a real statement piece.
2.Match the Bouquet to your Wedding Colours
Your wedding floral arrangement in Kingaroy should complement your chosen colour palette. At the same time, it should bring out the best in your wedding theme. Perfect colour matching is not always necessary unless that is the look you love. Choose flowers that complement or contrast with the colours already used in your décor or attire.
- All-White Flowers: All-white flowers create a clean look that suits classic wedding styles.
- Light Flowers: Lighter shades give the bouquet a soft, delicate look that suits romantic wedding themes.
- Small Pops of Colour: A few colourful blooms add contrast, personality, plus just enough visual interest to draw the eye.
- Dark Flowers: Rich, darker shades give the bouquet more dimension plus a bold impact in wedding photos.
3.Add Texture to the Bouquet
Two to four main flower varieties are often enough to keep a bouquet looking cohesive. Going bigger? Extra blooms or textures can still work beautifully without turning the bouquet into a floral free-for-all. To stop the bouquet from looking flat in photos, you can also mix smooth flowers like roses or chrysanthemums with delicate greenery. You may also want to use orchids or native flowers to give the arrangement more visual interest. The key here is contrast.
4.Keep Proportion in Mind
Match your bouquet to the size of your dress and, of course, to you. Bringing a full-length photo of yourself in your wedding dress can help your florist get the proportions right. Smaller frames often suit more compact bouquets. On the other hand, larger dresses handle a fuller design. But of course, there are no hard rules. The trick is getting it just right. After all, people should notice you first, not a bouquet entering the room before you do.
5.Make Your Bouquet Truly Yours
One last thing to consider is adding a personal touch to your bouquet. Flowers are the main feature, of course, but is there something else that means a lot to you? Is there a small keepsake or family item that means something to you? Perhaps a special memory could inspire part of the design. More importantly, you could include your favourite flower because it has always made you smile. Maybe it reminds you of a special date or a flower your partner has always given you.
