While we'll always be big fans of wild, cascading bouquets, we've noticed that more and more brides are opting for smaller-scale arrangements. This is particularly true for weddings with smaller guest lists and budgets. But don't be fooled by their smaller stature—although minute, these posies still make a big impact down the aisle. In fact, we think their small size is what makes them so eye-catching.
Ahead, you'll find a whole bunch of petite bouquets that brides carried down the aisle. From a posy made entirely of lily of the valley that even Kate Middleton would envy to a modern bundle of the smallest buds, there's something here for every bride. Even better? These mini bouquets look stunning, but won't overwhelm your bridal look. Click through to discover all of the creative options these posies pose for your celebration.
Lilac
Vero Designs made lilac the center of attention in this bouquet. Hellebore, lily of the valley, and paper whites topped off the floral details.
Floral Hoop
Step away from tradition with a floral hoop instead of a bouquet. Cue the Champagne created this one-of-a-kind ceremony essential with white roses and greenery.
Subtle
A classic, greenery-filled bouquet by Lark Farnum Design completed this bride's big-day arrangement.
Proteas
Although these king proteas made this The Open Blossom bouquet seem large, the arrangement still felt simple and downplayed.
Burgundy and Blush
Burgundy and blush blooms—including cafe au lait and Sweet Natalie dahlias, lisianthus, scabiosa, geranium, asparagus foliage, daisies, strawflower, and eucalyptus—by Shoving Leopard Farm brought this petite bouquet together.
Minimal
A simple and clean small arrangement by Fiori Flowers came to life with white peonies.
Timeless
Frey Dagnew made this little bouquet a classic with its all-white florals.
Texture
You can still achieve texture even with the tiniest of posies. Just look to this Emma the Florist design for proof: It contained just pink astilbe.
Hydrangea
This bride carried a single hydrangea—curated by Linda's Flowers—down the aisle for a simple yet eye-catching look.
Tall Spray
Sprigs of seeded eucalyptus and stock surrounded two magenta garden roses in this Sweet Sarabelle arrangement.
Greenery
Everything about this Coco Rose design felt delicate—from its leafy greenery to its tiny white buds.
Peach
Peach garden roses of varying sizes were combined with soft lamb's ear in this petite posy by Conyers Flower Shop.
Simple
For the minimal bride, it doesn't get any better than this Bloomers Flowers & Gifts arrangement. The professionals chose a single green succulent, two thistles, and strands of wheat to create this modern posy.
Contemporary
This clutch was anything but traditional. Not only did its small size make it feel modern—A & D Doeven Farm Fresh Native Flowers' choice of protea did, too.
Vertical
Tall greenery and a large protea gave an element of verticality to this bride's petite clutch (she made it herself!).
Small and Personal
This bride's mother arranged all of the florals for her wedding, which made the small bouquet of white garden roses and greenery even more special.
Three Roses
While three white roses made this The Ocean View Club arrangement feel classic and understated, verdant greenery meant that it still stood out against the bride's white dress.
Dried
Viva L'Event reached for dried elements when creating this small but wild posy. To add a fresh factor, two king proteas were included in the bunch.
Pink and White
The smallest pink and white blooms and berries made this Magnolia & Co. creation feel even more delicate.
Peonies
How ethereal is this three-stem arrangement from Rock Paper Scissors Events? A matching ribbon helped tie the mini bunch together.
White and Blush
Four blush garden roses and three smaller buds were all that made up this Field of Flowers North bouquet.
