When choosing your wedding bouquet there are many things to consider. You will want to factor in the size and weight you are comfortable carrying. Your bouquet will be attached to you for a good portion of the day so be comfortable with what you are carrying.

You will also want to think about your dress. Different bouquet styles and sizes work better with certain types of dresses.

For example, here is a little wedding flower tip for brides wearing an A-line dress.

Since your dress is textured, your flowers should be, too. Choose blooms with layered petals like roses, peonies, and ranunculus. For a gown in a smooth fabric such as silk-mikado or satin, more graphic flowers like orchids, amaryllis, and tulips are pretty options.

If you are wearing a slim silhouette dress, you may be complimented by a slim, elegant flower like the Calla Lily. A bouquet of mixed Calla Lilies make a spectacular statement, while not distracting too much from the gown and the bride.

For decisions like this one, it is good to keep your wedding binder stocked. Have pictures of your dress, flower ideas, ceremony location and so on with you when you meet with your florist. Together you will be able to find the perfect bridal bouquet for your big day.
