We already know that the perfect bouquet completes the brides' look. Now, let's make sure your bridesmaids get the same treatment. Pretty and lush florals can enhance your girls' carefully-selected dresses, which makes crafting the perfect flower clutch all the more important. From little bloom bunches to cascading arrangements, the beautiful bouquet options are truly limitless.
Just take the following bridal party arrangements from real weddings, for example. In the prettiest of colorways, these brides ensured that their 'maids blooms fit with every aspect of the wedding, from the dresses, to the theme, to the color palette. Also noteworthy? The vast array of flowers used to create endless floral combinations, each with their own signature vibe. For a sophisticated black-tie affair, bridesmaids carried bunches of just one bloom—crisp white anemones. For a more bohemian fête, the bride's attendants held arrangements filled with vines and greenery, giving off a wilder vibe.
Your bridesmaids' bouquets don't have to be determined by your wedding's level of casualness, however. Want your 'maids flowers to exactly match your own? Take notes from one bride, who proved that a uniform floral look is just as gorgeous as the mix-and-match route. If you want your girls to hold something floral-inspired, but aren't wowed by the idea of a traditional bouquet, opt for one-of-kind clutches like leafy tambourines, wire hoops, or baskets. At the end of the day, you know your best friends best—so set them up with an arrangement they're sure to love.
