Wedding roses bouquet

Your bridal bouquet is the centerpiece of your wedding florals — it's the accessory that will accompany your beautiful gown and be pictured in every photo, so its design should surpass your expectations. But how do you create the perfect bouquet? Florists can only guess so much — it's important you know how to clearly explain what you want. Additionally, the more knowledgeable you are about flower varieties and pairings, the more you can customize your bouquet. You should consider when selecting your bridal bouquet.

Just like produce, flowers will be of better quality when they are in season. Your bouquet should be composed of fresh, colorful florals that are in their prime, rather than wilt-prone flowers that aren’t grown as naturally. A seasonal arrangement also allows the discovery of flowers you never knew you enjoyed. You will have more opportunity for exploration and can create a very unique bouquet.

Once you’ve settled on a date and a flower provider, check with your florist about their seasonal varieties. Ask them about the flower farm they source from and they can retrieve more information from the farmer for you. Check our seasonal floral chart, which will help you independently research which flowers can logistically be used on the big day.
