From statement arches to stunning centerpieces—and of course, your bridal bouquet—there’s so much to dream about when it comes to your wedding flowers. But what about your bridal party–your bridesmaids, your “I Do” crew? In today’s post, we’re sharing tips and inspiration to help you choose bridesmaid bouquets that feel cohesive, picture-perfect, and totally you!
Traditional: Matching Bridesmaid Bouquets
Sticking with tradition? Identical bridesmaid bouquets are a classic for a reason. Designed with the same flowers and color palette as the bridal bouquet–just in a slightly smaller size–matching bridesmaid bouquets create a clean, cohesive look that looks stunning in photos. This style pairs seamlessly with matching dresses and brings a traditional, romantic vibe to your bridal party. They’re elegant, romantic, and always in style!
Modern: Unique Bridesmaid Bouquet Ideas
While matching bouquets will always have their place, modern weddings lean into personal style and unique floral designs. Brides have embraced mixing things up, giving bridesmaids a slightly different bouquet while still keeping the same look and feel.
A few of our favorite bridesmaid bouquet ideas:
- Single Flowers: each bridesmaid carries one type of flower (like roses or calla lilies) in the same color palette
- Texture variety: bouquets varying in blooms within the same family
- Baby’s Breath: pair a bold bridal bouquet with baby’s breath bridesmaid bouquets
How to Choose the Right Bridesmaid Bouquets
So, how do you make sure your bridesmaid bouquets align with your overall wedding style? Start with your bridesmaids’ dress colors–their bouquets should complement, not compete. If you’re thinking bold or textured dresses, simpler floral designs tend to work best. For soft and neutral dresses, allow yourself some more creativity with flower color, texture, and shape.
You can also create contrast between your bouquet and theirs to help your flowers stand out. A few ideas we love:
