Sisters, best friends, girls you can’t imagine your world without – yes we’re talking about your bridesmaids’ party. They know you better than you know yourself, and symbolize in their own unique way a unique aspect of your life.

These ladies are a reflection of who you are and their bouquets need to be chosen with the same spirit. In shape or in color, your bridesmaids’ bouquets need to be cohesive to your own for the perfect look. Here’s how you can make that happen:

The Flowers

If you look at the bigger picture, flowers alone add up to be a big chunk of your wedding budget – the ones to be used for décor plus your bouquet, and the bridesmaids’ bouquets. Floral bouquets vary in prices given their size and the flowers used. If you have too many bridesmaids, think small bouquets with inexpensive flowers. However, with a small bridal party you can take the liberty of adding a little luxury to the bouquets. Rule of thumb? Never let the flowers overwhelm the personality and look of the person carrying them.

Matching Flowers to Fashion

The bouquet will be your bridesmaids’ most dominant and noticeable accessory. Therefore, it is imperative that you choose a bouquet that works well with the girls’ outfits. You have been working on what your bridesmaids will wear before you thought about the flowers – so the color, size, and style of the bouquet have to complement their dress.

While long stems will match the elegance of sheaths, long flowy dresses will get along well with rounder bouquets. Be careful when choosing colors. Identical colors for the dress and the flowers will only result in loss of detail in the bouquet. Think colors that complement or contrast the dress well.

Look for Cohesiveness

Your bridesmaids’ dresses are not the only thing their bouquet needs to complement. You have to make sure they work with your bouquet too! You want the bouquets to be cohesive – think a simple, smaller version of your own bouquet; same flowers, only smaller in size. For colors, look for varying hues of the colors in your bouquet. That is one way of doing it, you can always improvise!

Personalize It

Each of your girls is special for you. Add an element of the bond you share to make the bouquet special! Like the pinkie ring you and your best friend have worn for years; or a special flower added to each girl’s bouquet that reflects what you like best about her personality – like freesia that depicts innocence. Adding a personal element to the bouquets can be the perfect way to honor your girls.

You may take your time choosing the perfect bridesmaid bouquet for your girls, but you shouldn’t wait round the clock to kick off planning your big day. Have too much on your hands already? Hire an expert!
