A petite bride will look much better with a small and round flower bouquet like a posy o nosegay that a presentation bouquet. The flowers should not cover or overpower the bride.
Now, if you are petite and still dying to carry a cascade bridal bouquet, go for a smaller version of it, the teardrop bouquet. You can opt for short-stemmed flowers or cutting the stems shorter for the petite bridal floral design.
On the other hand, a tall bride can go for a more voluminous or longer bouquet that will still show off her figure without minimizing its own importance.
Full figured brides, just like their taller counterpart, can flaunt sizable flower arrangements while leaner brides should go for a narrower and lengthier bouquet. Play with the length of the stems and ribbons if you prefer a more manageable bunch of flowers.
But always keep in mind that you shouldn’t be hiding behind a flower jungle!

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.
