When choosing your bridal bouquet make sure that the design and style of the blooms fits the style of your dress, wedding and is sized to fit you. Bouquets can get really heavy and you don’t want to be weighed down on one side, nor do you want to have to use both hands at all time – where would you hold the champagne glass?

Talk to your florist about the colors of your wedding palette and the style of your wedding dress. A full ballgown can be paired with a round bouquet or cascade shaped, while if you’re wearing a slimmer gown you may want to order a posy or nosegay. And the same rule applies for the space. An ornate ballroom would match well with a fuller bouquet, while a modern, simple bouquet would be perfect in a loft space.

The bouquet pictured above was designed by Janie Medley Flora Design located in Richmond, VA and servicing brides in the Washington, DC metro area. Janie's designs are so romantic. If you don't live near DC, I highly recommend checking out her site for beautiful inspiration.
