If you're planning a wedding, your bouquet isn't just decoration—it's part of your story. It shows up in every photo and holds all your feelings for the day.
Whether you want something sweet, stylish, or bold, let's find the one that fits you best.

Where did bridal bouquets come from?

Back in the day—think ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt—brides carried herbs and spices to keep away bad vibes and bad luck. In Europe, they even helped repel bugs during outdoor weddings! Later, in the Victorian era, flowers took over, each with its own romantic meaning. Today, we care more about color and style, and we even use preserved bouquets that stay pretty for years.

Popular bridal bouquet styles

Classic Round Bouquet
Neat and simple, this style uses one or a mix of flowers in a clean shape. It suits any dress or wedding theme.
Natural, Asymmetrical Bouquet
A bit wild and artsy, this one lets flowers and leaves show off their natural beauty. It's great for tall brides or outdoor weddings.
Korean-Style Mini Bouquet
Small and elegant. It works best with simple, clean-cut dresses and soft wedding themes. Avoid using it with big gowns or dramatic veils—it might look too tiny.
Cascading (Waterfall) Bouquet
This one flows downward like a waterfall, perfect for adding wow-factor. It's usually handmade with care and looks amazing with tall brides or classic, grand dresses.

How to choose your bouquet in 3 steps

Step 1: Fresh flowers or preserved flowers?
Fresh flowers feel lively and smell lovely, but they fade fast. Preserved or dried flowers last much longer, and you can even keep them as home decor. Just check with your family—some elders may prefer fresh blooms for tradition's reason.
Step 2: Match the bouquet to your body shape
• If you're petite, go for something small and neat like a round bouquet. Long or oversized flowers might feel overwhelming.
• If you're curvy or plus-size, fuller bouquets with more volume can help balance your look beautifully.
• If you're tall, you can totally rock long-shaped styles like a cascading bouquet or Korean-style mini bouquet.
Step 3: Match the colors to your dress
Think of your dress color like the background, and your bouquet as the accent:
• If your dress is white or ivory, most colors work, but avoid using only white flowers—they might disappear in photos. Add some greenery or contrast.
• For ivory or beige dresses, earthy tones or deep colors like burgundy or gold look super classy.
• If your dress is pink, go with soft pinks, coral, peach, or even creamy white for a dreamy, romantic vibe.
• With a red dress, bouquets in blush, soft greens, or lighter pinks help balance the bold color.
• For olive green, fresh greens mixed with white flowers keep things calm and natural.
• If your dress is deep purple, soft colors like lavender or white flowers will brighten the look and soften it.
One combo that never goes wrong? White and green. It's simple, elegant, and fits almost any setting—especially garden weddings. Just make sure your bouquet has enough variety in texture so it doesn't blend into your dress if it's also white.
