Your beautiful dress is hanging safely in your closet with your veil, those gorgeous shoes are tucked away in their box awaiting their big moment and you have picked out that perfect hairstyle…You almost have everything you need to walk down the aisle, and all that is left to complete your ensemble is that dazzling bouquet.
Every piece of your wedding day outfit should work in harmony with each other, creating an overall beautiful look as the Bride. You may not have your bouquet with you for your entire wedding day, but you will be walking down the aisle with it, and that is certainly a huge event where it should shine.
Designing a bouquet that best fits your wedding will allow your whole outfit stand out, so it important to create it to match your overall wedding vision. Here at Mountain House on Sunday River, we understand that every aspect of your wedding should be beautiful, which is why we have gathered the top tips to creating a gorgeous bouquet for your big day, so be sure to continue reading for some ideas:
- The theme. You chose your venue for many different reasons, but It is likely that you admire its beauty and the fact that it flows well with your chosen wedding theme. Different types of themes call for different types of bouquets, so yours should certainly be created wisely.
- A more elaborate theme, such as one that reflects luxury and glam, calls for a bouquet to match, portraying big luscious blooms and even and a little bling.
- However, if you are feeling a bit more daring, a grand cascading bouquet will do just the trick, best accompanying sophisticated and modern themes.
- If you are seeking a simpler wedding with a relaxed theme, then you would benefit more from a small and simple bouquet.
- You. You are gorgeous and unique, and your bouquet would do well to learn a thing or two from you. For a bouquet that looks truly flattering in your hands, it is necessary to design it based on your body type.
- A more voluptuous and curvy bride should utilize a bolder, fuller bouquet, such as one that reflects a round shape, to project grace.
- However, the more petite bride would better benefit from a small nosegay or posy bouquet, to really accent her physique. Using your body type to determine the style or size of your bouquet will turn out the best appearance, just for you.
- Your dress. Your gown is the main piece of your wedding day ensemble, so it is likely that you will not want your bouquet to offset or diminish it. If glitz and glam is your cup of tea, then your dress probably conveys that, which means that your bouquet should contrast it beautifully, and not compete with it.
- Carrying a tight nosegay will keep you from making your embellished gown look too busy. If you have decided to scale your look down on the bling, but would still go bold with a ball gown, you can create a more magnificent bouquet.
- If simple is your chosen route, you can use a small nosegay to match the light and airy feel of your slim silhouette dress.
With all of the obvious factors that go in to creating your bridal bouquet, like flowers, foliage, ribbon and the shape, it is very important to keep these tips in mind when making all of the final decisions. Here at Mountain House on Sunday River, our venue is designed to accompany any vision that you seek for your wedding day, so be sure to contact us today, as we can’t wait to host your gorgeous Maine big day.
