You can probably guess that this means a higher price tag. Ask your florist which flowers will be in season for your wedding and consider using flowers that are somewhat local to your venue.
Your wedding bouquets should reflect the overall style of your wedding, whether that means rustic, classic, boho, vintage, modern, or something else. Your florist will know what types of flowers look nice together and which ones will best reflect your wedding style. The shape of your wedding bouquet also plays a big role in how the arrangement reflects your style.

Budget Before you get into the nitty gritty of what style and color scheme you want your wedding bouquet s to have, make your florist aware of your budget.

Riverland Studios Shapes The shape of your wedding bouquet also plays a big role in how the arrangement reflects your style. The round shape is probably what comes to mind for most people when they envision a wedding bouquet.
The flowers are arranged neatly but still slightly loose, forming a domed shape that is mostly even on all sides. This shape is similar to the round bouquet but is usually smaller in size.
The stems are typically wired together and bound tightly with ribbon for a sleek finish. This is a great option for showing off greenery, such as ivy, vines and ferns.
Cascading bouquets evoke a romantic, regal feel—Princess Diana carried one at her wedding to Prince Charles. As a result, this shape is easier for little hands to hold and is more popular for flower girl bouquets rather than bridal or bridesmaid bouquets. Hand-tied bouquets are also a great option if you want to combine multiple types of flowers, stem lengths, colors, and textures. Stay away from these dates to keep prices relatively lower.
