Choosing a Wedding Bouquet: How to Pick Your Perfect Bridal Flowers
Why Do Brides Carry Flowers At Weddings?
Each country has different bridal bouquet traditions. Some say that it has to be a gift given to the bride by the groom, others that the bride must toss the bouquet amongst single women so whoever catches it will be the next one to get married.
The new trend is to take it home as a memento of their wedding day. Enough tossing!
But the true origin of the wedding bouquet dates back to centuries ago when the bride carried twigs and some herbs to scare off evil spirits. Basically, the evil eye. So if you believe in this tradition, add a few sage leaves to your bridal bouquet!

I’m glad that you mentioned how taller brides can opt for longer bouquet arrangements to highlight her figure. My daughter’s wedding set right after New Year’s Eve, and she’s working really hard to get everything in order. She is quite the looker, and I think she’s even an inch taller than the groom. I would think that the cascading bridal bouquet with the violets pictured here can really make for a nice contrast with her peach wedding dress.
My sister is getting married in a month and wants to find the best flowers for the bouquets. I appreciate you mentioning that finding a florist that will supply you with fresh flowers on your wedding day is vital. I will be sure to help my sister find a reliable florist that can provide bouquets that are exactly what my sister wants for her big day.
I like that you mentioned that if you are fidgety that a lighter and easier-to-carry bouquet is a good idea. My fiance has ADHD so I think that a light bouquet would be better so that she can fidget with it. It’s a little hard because we want our bouquets to match each other without just having the exact same flowers.
