Oh My Bridesmaids! 10 Tips For Choosing Your Bridesmaids Bouquets

Choosing the perfect bridesmaid’s bouquets is an important task that will enhance the look of your wedding! There are so many different types of flowers and arrangements to choose from, so it’s important to look at the overall style of your wedding and the aesthetic you want during your big day before you decide! That’s why I have 1o tips for choosing your bridesmaids’ bouquets to make the process easier for you! Let’s get into it!

  1. Play With The Design

    While the Bridesmaids' bouquets are typically a smaller version of the bridal bouquet, feel free to have fun and do something unique like these simple statement bouquets of protea and large leaves below! After all, it is your wedding day and if you want to make the florals unique to you and your bridesmaids, you absolutely should! 

2) Enjoy A Little Pop Of Color

We often see neutrals for wedding bouquets, but if you plan to bring color to the wedding, give the girls a little pop in their bouquets! Just look at those beautiful shades of pink and purple!

3) Tone Down The Specialty Blooms!

Remember you are the 'belle of the ball' and your bouquet should stand out.  I like to give the bride a specialty bloom as an accent, or even some focal flowers such as orchids, peonies, or garden roses, and let the bridesmaids play the supporting actresses! ;-)

4) Single Variety Bouquets For The Modern Wedding

Looking for a simple modern design for your bridesmaids' bouquets? Single-flower variety bouquets are often a hit!  So think all tulips, all roses, all peonies, and the list goes on!  If you want to bring it all together, consider making the bridal bouquet a combination of those varieties in a lush, clean bridal bouquet.

5) Play With The Unconventional

Have a little fun with the floral armband, this is a fun non-traditional take on the wristlet corsage for a fun and chic bridesmaid floral! It’s always nice to incorporate something a bit different and unique to your day!

6) Variation On A Theme

We love seeing a mix of bouquets where the gals have similar bouquets that all have a few different elements so the overall look is cohesive, but each bouquet is unique, just like each of their personalities! Don’t feel like all the bouquets have to be the exact same. Wheres is the fun in that?

7) Ribbons Make Another Design Statement

Play around with different color ribbons at various lengths, this simple touch can create a visual statement! Ribbons can be used in several different ways for your bridesmaids’ bouquets. You could tie the stems of the bouquet together with the ribbon, or even have the ribbon cascade down from the bouquet itself! Check out this 20 Wedding Bouquet Wraps We Love article from Martha Stewart for some more inspiration!

8) Maid Of Honor Details

There are SO many ways to honor your Maid (or Matron) of Honor. While we don't see the larger bouquets for them as much any more, there may be a statement bloom to accent or special ribbon color or a locket attached to the bouquet handle.  These simple touches are sure to honor her presence on your big day!

9) Dresses Might Vary, But Let The Bridesmaid Bouquets Unify!

We love seeing the different styles and colors of bridesmaid dresses. One fun way to bring things together is to have the bouquets all the same design and a common thread for your bridesmaids!

10) Petite And Flirty Never Goes Out Of Style!

When you have a large wedding party, ask your wedding florist how to make the bouquets fun, flirty and a bit more petite to keep the budget in check without losing out on the fun look of flowers for your gals!
