How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Bouquet: Styles, Tips & Floral Inspiration

Your wedding bouquet is more than just a floral accessory — it’s a personal statement that reflects your style, sets the tone for your wedding day, and ties your whole look together.

3. Compact Posy Bouquets
   A timeless and elegant choice, these smaller round bouquets are great for minimalist or classic bridal styles.

🔥 Wedding Bouquet Trends We're Loving

• Color-Forward Palettes: Soft pastels are being replaced with vibrant tones like coral, raspberry, peach, and lavender.

• Seasonal Sensitivity: Couples are embracing local, in-season flowers — especially dahlias, sweet peas, and ranunculus.

• Textural Play: Mixing fresh and dried elements, like amaranthus or bunny tails, adds depth and character.

💡 How to Choose Your Wedding Bouquet

Here are a few expert tips from our San Francisco wedding florists:

• Coordinate with your dress and venue. A structured bouquet works well with a sleek silhouette, while soft shapes pair beautifully with flowy gowns.

• Size matters. Keep your bouquet proportional to your body and dress — not too overwhelming, not too minimal.

• Think personal. Include blooms that have meaning to you, whether it’s your favorite flower or a nod to family heritage.

• Consider the full floral story. Your bouquet sets the tone for everything from boutonnières to centerpieces.
