Your wedding bouquet isn’t just an accessory — it’s a personal statement. It’s the floral reflection of your style, your story, and your ceremony’s tone. At Fiore Arte, we work closely with brides to craft bouquets that are modern, elegant, and completely aligned with who they are.
Whether you're planning a large ballroom wedding or an intimate ROM, this guide will help you choose the perfect bouquet that complements both your aesthetic and your overall bridal vision.
1. Start With Your Dress: Silhouette Matters
Your gown sets the tone — and the bouquet should enhance, not overwhelm it. Here’s how bouquet shapes pair with different dress styles:
| Dress Silhouette | Recommended Bouquet Style |
|---|---|
| Classic A-line or Ballgown | Full round bouquet or soft cascading design |
| Column or Sheath | Sleek, minimalist bouquet or single-stem style |
| Mermaid or Trumpet | Hand-tied bouquet with defined structure |
| Short/Tea-Length | Petite posy or dome bouquet with charm |
Consider texture and proportion — you don’t want the bouquet to compete with your dress.
2. Know Your Style: Minimalist, Romantic, or Statement?
A bouquet should feel like you — not just what’s trending. Here’s a breakdown:
- Minimalist bride: Opt for mono-floral or colour-blocked bouquets, using elegant blooms like white phalaenopsis orchids or reflexed roses.
- Romantic bride: Choose soft pastels and loose, airy textures using garden roses, ranunculus, or lisianthus.
- Modern statement bride: Go bold with sculptural flowers like anthuriums or Vienna Copper chrysanthemums in muted, unexpected palettes.
Fiore Arte specialises in bouquets that are thoughtfully composed with clean lines, natural movement, and intentional use of space.
3. Colour Palette: Go Beyond Just Matching
Instead of trying to match your bouquet exactly to the bridesmaids or decor, think of it as a focal point within your colour scheme.
- Use tonal layering (e.g. dusty pink, blush, mauve) to create depth
- Add subtle contrast through foliage or texture (e.g. bleached ruscus, preserved materials)
- Let the bouquet stand slightly apart so it photographs beautifully against your gown
If you're working with a modern palette — like ivory, sand, latte, or muted peach — your bouquet can carry that tone through without being overly matched.
4. Consider Your Ceremony Setting
The location of your ROM or wedding can influence the scale and structure of your bouquet:
- Indoor weddings: Controlled lighting allows for more delicate textures and softer tones
- Outdoor/Beach ceremonies: Go for sturdier blooms like roses, orchids, or carnations that hold up well against heat and humidity
- Temple or cultural spaces: Blend traditional elements with a modern design (e.g. jasmine strands incorporated into a luxe hand-tied bouquet)
At Fiore Arte, we always factor in the local climate and ceremony setting to ensure your flowers last beautifully throughout the day.
5. Add Personal Meaning
The most memorable bouquets often carry subtle nods to personal memories — like:
- A favourite flower from childhood
- The bloom your partner gave you on your first date
- A flower that symbolises your cultural heritage or family story
We love weaving in these details discreetly, making the bouquet more than just floral design — but a reflection of your journey.
