Inspiration & good advice for your bridal bouquet




  • The bridal bouquet should not be too big. You should be able to see the bride's waist. It should be beautiful and express the bride's wishes. It should be the bride who carries the bridal bouquet, not the bridal bouquet that carries the bride.
  • Tradition dictates that the groom chooses a bouquet for his bride. We recommend that the groom inquire about the desired flowers, color, and shape. Many brides also choose to be in charge of the flower arrangement themselves.
  • A bridal bouquet should be able to last all day.
  • It should be easy to carry.
  • Style. Should it be, for example: romantic, classic, bohemian...?
  • It can be a town hall bouquet with a ribbon on the stem and an open bottom, or a pinned bridal bouquet with a narrow stem. Most people choose a bridal bouquet with a stem, where the flower stems are inside the stem. It is cheaper than a pinned bridal bouquet and very durable.
  • The bridal bouquet should match the wedding dress.
  • There may be a common thread in all the flowers for the entire wedding, with the bridal bouquet being the masterpiece.
  • Shape: should the bridal bouquet be round, have a teardrop shape or a natural expression.

Season:

When choosing wedding flowers, it is good to be aware that the selection of flowers may vary depending on the season. Your florist will do their utmost to accommodate your wishes for colors and flowers, so that it best meets your wedding wishes.

Choosing the Right Bridal Bouquet

Choosing the right bridal bouquet can be a daunting task. There are so many factors to consider: color scheme, flower type, season, and of course, your personal taste. But don't worry! Our experienced florists are ready to guide you through the process.

Considerations When Choosing Your Bridal Bouquet

    1. The mood of your wedding: Your bouquet should reflect the mood of your wedding. Is it a summer wedding in the garden? Consider light, colorful flowers. Is it a formal evening wedding in a large hall? Maybe darker, more dramatic flowers would be better.

    2. Your wedding dress: Your bouquet should compliment your wedding dress, not compete with it. If your dress is very detailed, a simple bouquet may be the best choice. Conversely, a more ornate bouquet can really shine next to a simple dress.

    3. The season: Some flowers are only available at certain times of the year or can be very expensive outside of their normal season. Our florists can help you find the best flowers for your season.

    4. Color scheme: The color of your bouquet should complement your wedding dress and the overall color scheme of your wedding. If you have a traditional white dress, consider flowers in soft pastels or even a bold, contrasting color. If you have a colored dress, choose flowers that complement the color of the dress.

    5. Symbolism and Tradition: In Danish weddings, there is a lovely tradition where the bride throws her bouquet over her shoulder, and the unmarried woman who catches it will be the next to be married. Some brides choose to incorporate flowers that have special meaning to them, or that symbolize certain wishes for their marriage. For example, roses symbolize love, while daisies symbolize innocence.
