5 Wedding Bouquets You’ll Love

Secrets to the Perfect Bridal Bouquet

Brides are always looking for wedding décor that reflects their style and personality. Vintage, classic, winter, spring, bohemian or fashion-forward – there are countless directions to take inspiration from. Wedding flowers, and in particular the bridal bouquet, is a great place to start bringing a look together. Here are five examples heavy on the romance, using lots of peonies and roses in whites, creams and shades of pink and purple.   

Five bridal bouquets

There’s a lot of pressure for every detail of a wedding day to be ‘just right’, so removing little worries along the way really makes sense. In turn, professional florists feel a lot of pressure to meet the needs of clients. We take a look at two ways to ensure the wedding bouquet is still beautiful by the time the bride hits the dance floor.

Wedded bliss, no wilting allowed.

Foam Bridal HoldersThe condition of the flowers and shape of the arrangement contribute to the overall style of this very meaningful little bunch. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if there was a base to make these factors gel easily together? Thankfully floral foam bridal holders do just this.

Sometimes referred to as “bridys”, floral foam bridal holders provide a unique water source for flowers, so they remain fresh and hydrated all day. The large surface area of the floral foam allows for larger arrangements and the easy insertion of stems and decorative wires. The foam is held safe and secure by the holder’s cage.

Floral foam bridal holders come in a variety of head shapes, handle widths and angles.

1. Thick Straight Handled Strass Bridy Holder – 7 cm.

2. Thin Straight Handle Grande Oasis Bridy Holder – 8.3cm

3. Thin Bend Handle Grande Oasis Bridy Holder – 8.3cm

4. Thin Straight Handle Grande Oasis Bridy Holder – 8.3cm

5. Thick Straight Handled Oasis Bridy Holder – 7cm

6 & 7. Straight Thick Handled Strass Gorgeous Bridal Holder Gold or Silver – 7cm

The bigger holders allow for easy insertion of larger arrangements and trailing foliage. The smaller ones are perfect for bridesmaids’ or flower girl bouquets. All the handles can easily be covered with ribbon or a bouquet wrap. And the thinner handles can also be covered in thicker material, foliage, cinnamon sticks or even cut stems to replicate a natural-stemmed bouquet.

Silk isn’t just for the dress

Artificial bouquets can be both a practical and pretty option to consider for bridal bouquets – and they definitely have their pluses. One option is to mix and match silk foliage and leaves with real flowers. That way delicate blooms that tend to bruise or get damaged easily will last all day, mixed with flowers that are more hardy. The latest high-end floral reproductions are so amazingly lifelike and ‘botanically correct’ that people often have to touch them more than once to work out the difference. And they cope beautifully with all the ups and downs of the day, so a bride can be carefree right up to throwing the bridal bouquet!
