The bridal bouquet is one of the most important and beautiful elements in any wedding. The perfect bouquet should enhance the beauty of your gown, complement your body, and set the tone for the wedding.
Bridal bouquet now comes in all colours, shapes, and styles. They can also be made with fresh or silk flowers. Some brides prefer to use fresh flowers because they smell nice, while others choose to use silk flowers because they are everlasting. What you choose to use is totally personal, since both types are equally popular.
However, what you wear on your big day and how self-conscious you are, will hugely influence the style of bouquet you should choose. In general:
Cascade Bouquet — The most traditional and formal style. Best for taller and fuller figures; compliments A-line gowns or dresses with a train.
