Love Oversized Bridal Bouquets? What You Need To Know...

If you've fallen in love with these free-form bouquets and are planning on having your own, there are a few things to bear in mind:

  • Prepare to blow the budget!. Oversized bouquets can be pricey, so make the most of yours and double up its use by placing it as a centrepiece on the top table at your reception.
  • If you have your heart set on one of these beauties, chat with your florist to see if there are ways to cut down on the cost, for example, by using seasonal blooms or including extra foliage to make it more affordable.
  • There are certain blooms that work really well in these bouquets such as peonies, Californian poppies, blousy garden and David Austin roses, magnolia, anemones, ranunculus and trailing sweet pea. Double check with your florist that the flowers you have your heart set on will be in season on your wedding date.
  • These gorgeous bouquets can be quite heavy and often require two hands! Put it down often or prepare to have aching arms by the end of the day unless you've been hitting the weights. Oh, and maybe borrow one of the bridesmaids' arrangements for your bouquet toss - you don't want to cause any injuries!
  • Talk to your florist about the ribbon options they have for their freeform bouquets. Having soft ribbon will make it easier to carry - trailing raw silk goes beautifully with the organic, free-spirited feel of these bouquets!
  • To find the perfect florist to create your dream look, check out the handpicked florists in our suppliers directory.
