I was just wondering what my fellow bride's thoughts are on the size of the bouquet? I've found one I love but it's only 18cm across and I'm worried that's too small!

Hi I would say that is a good size for a bridesmaid but if you want it have it :)

It should be what you love not the size

I went for a teardrop style bouquet. It's 26 cmx25cm which is larger than I planned for but at the end of the day if it's what you fall in love with then how can you not get it!!

As long as the bridesmaids are smaller then it will be fine. At the end of the day it's your decision and if that's what you love then go for it x

I think it depends on the dress as well, if it's quite a simple dress a larger bouquet may go better with it, whereas if it's an elaborate show-stopping dress a big bouquet may be too much :)

If you want have it, it's not about the flowers it's about the dress

I would like a teardrop style bouquet but I’m looking for something small. I like the simple style, my dress is the show stopper not the flowers

I'm carrying a shield but have a small bouquet to throw at the reception.

It dose actually depend on your height and how your body frame is be it petite medium or larger short or tall. But the person that is making your bouquet will know what is suitable.

Add a long organza ribbon to it to make it extra special

I think if you really like it then go for it. I don't think it has to be a particular size to look good x

Show your florist a photo of your dress and a photo of the bouquet and see what they say. Florists are really good at knowing what style bouquets suit what dresses x

Mine is 11 to 12 inches, 8 to 9 for bridesmaids and 6 to 7 for flower girls. Just on Florida's recommendation.

As small as possible purely because I hate carrying things around!!

It's your wedding you should have what you want just make sure the bridesmaids are smaller or even just a little bunch for them would be nice xx
