Wedding style: your bouquet

We are so excited that wedding season has begun at Sammy’s! Are you a bride to be and wondering where to start? Here’s a few things to consider when thinking about your wedding bouquet style.

Size: Standard bridal bouquets are typically around 10" wide.  Petite bridal bouquets are 6-8" wide and large bridals are 12"+. These are general guidelines, though, as the product chosen can influence the size of your bouquet.

Shape: There are many options here. But the most popular shapes continue to be: round, naturally round, organic hand-tied, and loose/unstructured.

Color: While many brides chose classic whites and creams, anything really goes when it comes to your bouquet. Popular, less traditional palettes this year have included pops of burgundy, plums and lavender.

Texture: Do you like lots of detail or do you prefer a simplified look? Texture added with elements such as pods, berries, foliages and succulents create dimension and movement in your bouquet.

The picture above shows a bridal and bridesmaid bouquet.  The bridal bouquet is standard sized, naturally rounded with texture, in a soft spring color palette. To see more bouquets click here.

Color study: whites and greens

An always elegant and classic combination, whites and greens are one of the most requested color palettes for florals. This woodsy centerpiece consists of white and green hydrangea, goosenecks, garden roses, yarrow and fern accents.

Classic Spring

Have a wonderful collection of pottery or glassware? A fun trend for events and weddings is the use of varied sized vessels. This event used lovely vintage white milk glass in different style and sizes. The design was a classic spring garden look with tulips, ranunculus, sweet peas lisanthus and accents of jasmine vine. The use of warm coral added a real pop to the creamy mixes.

Wedding style: organic shaped bouquets

Loose, organic shaped bouquets are less formal than traditional rounded bouquets, but remain naturally elegant. Both the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets shown here have an elongated front drape and whispy, flowing accents. Fragrant blooms were used in these mixes and included sweet peas, gardenias, garden roses, tuberose, and scented herbs.
