Choosing your wedding bouquet isn’t just about picking pretty flowers. It’s about creating a harmonious, meaningful part of your bridal look that enhances your dress, expresses your personality, and reflects the mood of your celebration. In this article, I’ll share how to choose a dried flower bouquet that completes your wedding vision — beautifully and thoughtfully.

🎀 1. Consider the Style of Your Dress

Dried flowers work beautifully with a variety of bridal styles. Here’s how to match your bouquet to your gown:

  • Classic dress (A-line, fitted silhouettes): Round or teardrop-shaped bouquets in soft, romantic tones like ivory, beige, and dusty pink are timeless.
  • Boho or rustic gowns: Go for a loose, wild-looking bouquet with texture — think grasses, palms, or preserved foliage.
  • Short dresses or jumpsuits: A small posy, flower clutch, or wrist bouquet adds the perfect touch.
  • Off-shoulder or backless dresses: Cascading or elongated bouquets balance the silhouette beautifully.

🌸 2. Match with Accessories and Hairstyle

If you’re wearing a flower crown, comb, or bridal hairpin — make sure it complements your bouquet. I create matching sets that include bouquets, hairpieces, boutonnieres, and even cake toppers, all in the same style.

👰♀️ 3. Think About Your Height and Body Shape

  • Petite brides: Choose a light, airy bouquet that doesn’t overwhelm your frame.
  • Tall brides: Go for statement shapes — longer lines or bold accents like amaranth or banksia work well.

I always ask for a photo or a short description of the dress so I can tailor the bouquet to your exact look.

 

🌿 4. A Personal Touch

Every bouquet I create is made to reflect the bride. You’re welcome to send me:

  • A photo of your dress
  • Your mood board or inspiration photos
  • Wedding location and theme
  • Colour preferences

I’ll craft a bouquet that feels like it was made just for you — because it is.
