The bridal bouquet is one of the most important bridal accessories. Chosen with care, your bouquet will provide the starting point for all your wedding flowers. The style of your gown should dictate the best shape of bouquet for you. We go through six popular dress silhouettes and the floral styles that compliment them!
Classic A-line style gowns look best with a single coloured bouquet in a classic dome-shaped style. The sophisticated silhouette of the gown is popular and timeless and the subtlety of the flowers are equally sophisticated for this unfussy style.

Although versatile enough to suit
most weddings, lace is associated with vintage styling and will always
be a winner. Choose flowers that look as though they have been gathered and just picked from the garden for this soft romantic style.
Gown Q’Nique Bridal / Flowers Amos and Smith
A backless dress is dramatic and commands attention hence your bouquet needs to be as striking and impressive as the back of your gown. A contemporary bouquet made from exotic blooms in rich, intense colours will balance the look beautifully.
Gown Fashions By Farina / Flowers Scentsational
Sleek, tastefully embellished
wedding dresses are all about fluid movement and clean lines. Reflect the unfussy lines with a long-stemmed bouquet that mirrors the slender silhouette and won’t detract from the detailing around the neckline.
Gown Lilli Marcs / Flowers Basia Puchalski Floral Design
Choosing a hand-tied bouquet of pretty, romantic, pastel blooms is perfect for this soft, feminine gown. The sheer tulle overlay is embellished with fabric flowers
and fits in beautifully with the soft, fullness of the flowers.
Gown Mark Holt Bridal Couture / Flowers Oatley House of Flowers
This style draws the eye upwards as it creates elegant lines across the décolletage. Balance the effect without detracting from the gown
with a soft trailing bouquet, round
in shape with trailing tendrils.
