Does anyone know what the difference between the bridal and bridesmaid...

Does anyone know what the difference between the bridal and bridesmaid bouquet is as I am looking at making my own to cut costs, but have no idea what the differences are? Is it just the size?

Bridesmaid ones are generally smaller

Thank you. At least I know it's just the size that needs adapting and everything else can stay the same :)

Size and also the bridal one is usually slightly different .... my bridesmaids are having hand tied gyps in size order to age...mine will be the same but I am having a rose set in the middle.
The button holes will all match bridesmaids and my H2B will have the matching rose in his
Hope this helps 😊

Sorry, but does anyone know how many flowers make up a bridal bouquet approx? Or is it just try and see what looks best?

Thank you Louise, thats a great help :) i wss thinking if putting ivory and blue roses in mine and just blue in the bridesmaids. My h2b can then have anivory button hole with the groomsmen having the same as the bridesmaids :)

Chloe, you're welcome
Size wise you can do just as you like, sometimes subtle and minimalistic is so much prettier 😊

There isn't a set amount of flowers for a bridal bouquet as they come in a range of styles and sizes. I'll be having a cascading bouquet so won't look at all similar to the bridesmaids except for the flowers used. If you look on Pinterest for bridal and bridesmaid bouquets it will give you a good idea. The only general rule is that the bride's bouquet is usually bigger so you could have them as big or small as you want. My friend had a small paper flower bouquet and her bridesmaids had single paper flowers so you can have what you want really. Have them as big or small as you like.
