Bouquet Question Help !

Juicymelons, 10 January, 2010 at 16:52 Posted on Planning 0 3

Help !

I always thought I wanted a round hand tield bouquet, still do actually ! But My dress is princess style and I am not the skinniest person on the planet and I am wondering if a round bouquet will just emphasise roundness ! Will a teardrop one elongate and flatter more, or does it not make any difference ?

Does that make sense ?

Thanks

    Have a look through my real Life Brides & you can see there are all different size & shaped Brides all with different styles of Bouquets:

    I'm a size 18-20 so i gues that makes me a larger bride. I also have a princess style dress (well its got a big skirt!!)

    My bouquet is round and hand tied but am having 2 foot of 'grass' (its got a posher name but long leaves) coming off the end so i hope will elongate a bit

    sorry for not explaining very well

    my flowers are a bit like this (but geraniums and a round at the top) and the grass will be longer tied alongside the stems


    hope i've helped a bit!

    Another flattering style is the semi-crescent bouquet or an extended posy. Both these are good for full-skirted gowns and give the elongated look which draws the eye down. This is a semi-crescent:-


    and this is the extended posy:-


    Sazelbean's style of bouquet is also good as this has the same effect i.e., drawing the eye downwards.
