Find your perfect wedding bouquet.
Your bridal bouquet is more than just flowers—it’s a reflection of your style, personality, and the overall aesthetic of your big day. Whether you’re drawn to classic roses, wild and whimsical arrangements, or elegant cascading blooms, finding the perfect bouquet can be both exciting and overwhelming. In this blog, I’ll share inspiration, ideas, and tips to help you choose a bouquet that complements your wedding vision. Be sure to save your favourites to your Pinterest mood board, and explore our gallery of stunning wedding bouquets to find the perfect match for your special day!
1. Consider Your Wedding Theme & Venue
Your bouquet should complement the overall style of your wedding. A structured rose bouquet suits a classic, more formal black tie wedding, while a loose, organic arrangement works beautifully for a rustic or garden wedding.
2. Choose Flowers That Reflect Your Personality
Your bouquet is a statement piece, so choose flowers and colours that resonate with you. If you love bold and dramatic, opt for deep reds and rich textures. If you prefer soft and romantic, blush tones and delicate blooms like peonies might be perfect.
3. Keep Seasonality in Mind
Opting for flowers that are in season ensures they look fresh and vibrant on your wedding day while also being more cost-effective. Your florist can recommend the best seasonal blooms for your wedding date.
4. Think About Your Dress & Silhouette
Your bouquet should complement, not overpower, your dress. If you have an intricate gown, a simple bouquet may work best, whereas a minimalist dress can pair beautifully with a bold floral arrangement.
5. Pay Attention to Size & Proportion
A bouquet that’s too large might overwhelm your frame, while one that’s too small could get lost in photos. Work with your florist to find the right balance based on your height and the style of your dress.
6. Incorporate Meaningful Flowers
Consider adding flowers with personal significance—perhaps the same ones from your first date, a flower that represents a loved one, or blooms that hold cultural meaning.
7. Consider How It Will Look in Photos
As a Southern Highlands wedding photographer, I know that some flowers photograph better than others. Soft pastels and muted tones tend to look dreamy in natural light, while vibrant colours can create a striking contrast in photos.
8. complement Your Bouquet to Your Bridesmaids’ Arrangements
Your bouquet should complement, rather than compete with, your bridesmaids’ flowers. You can choose similar blooms in different sizes or slightly varied colours for a cohesive look. For a modern approach, match the flowers to the bridesmaids dress colour, and have them all in a different colour that suits them!
9. Think About Comfort & Practicality
Your bouquet should be comfortable to hold throughout the day. Avoid overly heavy arrangements or those with strong-scented flowers that could become overpowering. Many Australian native bouquets can be quite heavy!
10. Save Inspiration & Talk to Your Florist
Gather inspiration from below and add it to your Pinterest and wedding mood boards, but most importantly, trust your florist’s expertise. Share your mood board with them so they can create something unique that fits your wedding style. Be open and flexible, and work on an overall as=aesthetic as your florist wont be able to guarantee a particular flower or colour as nature will take over that one!
