A bridal bouquet plays an important role in completing the look of a wedding day. When it comes to the bouquet of flowers, the first thing that comes to our mind is the flowers and color. However, you should keep in mind that an impactful bouquet ought to be of the right size. 

Choosing the best bouquet of flowers can be a challenging task, especially for someone doing it for the first time. With the different shapes, colors, and sizes of flowers, it can surely get overwhelming. So, here are some important things to remember when picking the right size for your bouquet of flowers: 

Your body height and size 

The size of the bouquet matters a lot and you must ensure that you choose just the right size for you. You shouldn’t let your bouquet of flowers over-shine you. The bouquet size should be perfect for your body size and height. If you’re tall, choose big dramatic bouquets with large flowers. For petite brides, try choosing something small with an intricate floral arrangement.  

You can, for example, choose different colors of pink rose and let us arrange the bouquet neatly and tie it around it with a pink ribbon. If you aren’t very tall, then you can pick a cascade or teardrop bouquet to create that lean look. A bridal bouquet ought not to be larger than the bouquets for the wedding party.  

How we measure our bouquets 

  • For wedding bouquets, we measure them by diameter straight across the longest part.  
  • We don’t have a standard size but we take 10 inches as the most common real touch size and 9 as the most common soft touch size of bouquet.   
  • 9.5 to 11 inches in diameter work best for taller and voluptuous brides. They also complement large venues and dresses.  
  • 8 and 9 inches in diameter work best for shorter and petite brides. That is because this site won’t cover or overwhelm your dress.    

Choosing the right size bouquet of flowers is important. By working with a florist, you’ll find it easier to choose the right flower arrangements for your wedding.
