Bouquet Tips

Thinking bouquets?

So many questions right? What colour, how big, what style?

Grab a cup of tea (or wine) and just search wedding bouquets on Pinterest and start clicking on a few you are drawn to. Pinterest has a great feature if you scroll down that says more like this. Just keep clicking and looking and make a board of all your favourites. Sleep on it a few days and then go back and add a few more and delete a few you can’t remember the reason why you added them.

Once you have an idea about the style and colour time to think about flower choices. Is it important to you that all the flowers are from a sustainable and local source? Do you want to try to use all local Sunshine Coast flowers? These are our favourite bouquets to make but we can also source blooms from all across the globe to use a favourite pinned photo as an inspiration jumping-off point.

Also, any favourite must have flowers to mean a lot to you – be sure to incorporate those blooms into your bouquet plans. Last but not least trust your florist! Don’t try to exactly recreate a photo, they are just for inspiration – it is next to impossible with a live product to perfectly replicate flowers and I find my favourite bouquets are the ones where you let the flowers tell you where they want to go!
