Finding your bridal style is an exciting journey and how a woman arrives at hers is deeply personal. While some brides may have envisioned their veil-to-train look long before hearing the proposal, others find their style unfolding in real time, learning more about themselves with every choice they make. Which brings us to the next important decision: selecting your wedding bouquet.

Scrolling through inspiration on Instagram and Pinterest often reveals bouquets overflowing with an array of flowers, fillers, and lush greenery. While these abundant arrangements are undeniably eye-catching on social media, they don’t resonate with every bride. For clients seeking a more distinctive alternative, we often suggest focusing on a single variety of flower.
