Ultimately, the number of stems in a bridal bouquet is going to vary. Based on the floral theme you have selected for your special day, you should consult your florist to discuss the specifics of the bridal bouquet and the bridesmaid arrangements.
Your florist will be able to help you choose the right number of flowers, other types of flowers or accents, and how to arrange everything into a full, beautiful design. Of course, the flower itself might not be the only consideration when deciding the size of your bridal bouquet. Your budget will also be a factor, as well as how much weight you want to be lugging around throughout your wedding day.
If you are planning a wedding on a tighter budget, you might be willing to downsize the bouquets a bit to save money. Weight is also a concern. While having a bouquet of roses might sound impressive, it can get pretty heavy to carry around while you are taking pictures.
Also keep in mind that your maid of honor will have to hold onto your bouquet and her bouquet during the actual ceremony, so plan accordingly to avoid giving her an inadvertent weightlifting exercise.
Your email address will not be published. There are some instances in which the couple foregoes the tradition altogether. Wherever you land on the matter, there are often questions that arise, like, well, do I have to carry one?
What should I do with the flowers after the wedding? And where did the tradition originate? Ahead we talk to wedding florist Maxine Owens to learn why brides carry flowers and the history behind the bridal bouquet tradition. Another big reason brides originally started carrying them centuries ago was because of the perfume of the flowers, which masked their body odor you know, back when bathing wasn't such a frequent occurrence.
This part can be overwhelming, but a lot of the times the kinds of flowers you choose comes down to three things: personal preference , the color theme of your wedding, and the time of year it's taking place.
Here's a breakdown of the types that tend to be the most popular. Owens says the final design of the bouquet has a lot to do with the design of the gown.
No matter what the style of the bouquet is, one thing to keep in mind is balance in size, color, and types of flowers used. You can learn more about those additional floral costs here. You could also choose a variety of blooms for your own bouquet and then have each bridesmaid carry a single bloom or a few stems of a single variety. Another great option is to play with color, either adding an additional tone to your bouquet or having one be quite bright while the other is more muted. After putting all that work into designing the perfect photo-worthy bouquet, the thought of throwing it over your head can be totally heartbreaking.
Also, many female wedding guests have expressed intense aversion to the entire practice of the bouquet toss, so you may want to save them the ordeal. If you do decide to do a bouquet toss, either ask your florist to create a smaller and less expensive nosegay for you to throw, or grab one of the bridesmaid's bouquets. The smaller style will be much easier to throw, and less dangerous for those trying to catch it. You can press a few of the blooms in a book, dry the flowers and place them in a shadow box, or have a professional preserve it for you.
Otherwise, stick the stems in a vase, and pop by your local florist for flower food to add every few days to keep the flowers alive as long as possible. Since your 'maids will be among the most heavily photographed group of the day, you'll want to make sure their attire look is picture-perfect—straight down to the floral accessories.
While you don't have to stress too much about the flowers your best girls will carry down the aisle, you should give their arrangements just as much thought as your own.
