Bridesmaids' bouquets often coordinate with the bride's bouquet
in style, whether traditional, modern, or casual. When choosing
these bouquets, consider the color, fabric, and pattern of the
dresses. Multi-colored, mixed bouquets are better for a solid
color gown, and simple monochromatic bouquets are better for a
busy print. Make sure the bouquets are not too heavy, and make
sure the flowers chosen don't cause allergies for an attendant.
Bridesmaids' bouquets don't have to be the traditional hand-held
flowers. Instead you may choose a single bloom tied with an
attractive ribbon, a nosegay, or a tussie-mussie. Each
bridesmaid might carry a bouquet made of one flower type or
color to mirror the bride's bouquet. Or have your attendants
carry woven or silver baskets, or a stylish handbag filled with
flowers. These also make unique bridesmaid gifts. Perhaps a
grapevine wreath with flowers attached will fit your style.
While Spring or Summer weddings typically use lighter flowers in
blue, yellow, or pink, Fall and Winter season weddings often
use mums or deep colored flowers with an accent of colored
leaves, evergreen, and berries.
Bring a sample of the bridesmaids' dresses to your florist so
that ribbon, trim, and flower colors can be closely matched.
The florist will then know the color scheme of your wedding and
can add visual interest to the bridesmaids' dresses with the
flowers chosen. Make sure your florist knows whether you want
seasonal flowers or headdresses for your bridesmaids.
The bridemaids and their flowers surround and complement the
bride's beauty so that she stands out on her special day.
