The prefect bridal bouquet is tough to find, but we know it when we see it. It may compliment the dress as to accentuate its color and design, or it may speak to something in you on a deep and personal level. That clothes reflect the personality of their wearers is a fascinating theory. Once you realize this, you begin to see it everywhere you go: to the bold and ambitious people that dress loudly, to the insightful and pragmatic types that prefer softer colors and wear less jewelry.
Knowing the type of bouquet that fits your personality or the overall look you’re going for will shave off shopping time considerably. Here’s the types of bouquets and where they fit in the personality spectrum:
Simple Yet Stylish:
These bouquets often have compact flower designs and can fit in one hand. You may be the practical type or if your dress is the flowing and intricate type, using a smaller, less-detailed bouquet can give you much needed contrast. Search for these types by name:
- Ballerina Bouquets
- Nosegay Bouquets
- Rosy Bouquets
Intricate and Reserved
Many people love designs that are layered and have a great deal going on with them, but at the same time don’t shout “look at me” or demand attention with over the top colors and overflowing floral decorations. These bouquets tend be on the medium-to-small end, but also have elaborate designs like tiered flowers or layers that weave together to look like a singular large flower. Types that fall into this category are:
- Biedermeier Bouquets
- Composite Bouquets
- Wreath Bouquets
Bold & Dramatic
For some, things aren’t worth doing unless they’re done large and to-the-nines. Overflowing floral designs that hang down to the knees; colors and design matches that makes the bouquet appear as an extension of the wedding gown. You may simply love grandiose designs, or you may have a simple dress style and are looking for contrast. These types are:
- Arm Sheaf Bouquets
- Cascading Bouquets
