The Modern Bride: Dressed Up Bouquets

Remember my post on brooch bouquets? Today, I bring you pretty bouquets with dressed up stems.

The trend I’m referring to isn’t just about pretty bouquets – it’s about incorporating your wedding dress into the stem of the bouquet. More and more, brides are going for a completely cohesive look; I love how the bouquet pulls together different colours and elements of the wedding.

Examples of what I mean:

  • If a bride is wearing a lace dress, she will dress up her bouquet with lace trimmings
  • If a bride has buttons going down the length of her back, so will her bouquet.

Check out some pretty bouquets below!

Heirlooms are all the rage these days. How about incorporating your mother’s or grandmother’s wedding dress into your bouquet? Yes, that’s a sleeve!

I love the idea of dress replica bouquets or dress inspired bouquets. How about you?

p.s. I have a few more bouquet ideas coming up so stay tuned!

The Modern Bride: Brooch Bouquets

Although I love flowers, I’m not a fan of bridal bouquets with desi wedding wear. Our dresses are so intricate that bouquets just become a big distraction – for me, anyway. I’ve only seen a few desi brides pull off a bouquet and that was because they were wearing simpler outfits.

I can’t help but love the new trend of Brooch Bouquets. Again, this would be too much with most desi wedding wear but if you can somehow pull this off, I’d love to see this!!
