FLOWERS

nlt1978, 20 January, 2009 at 17:24 Posted on Planning 0 5

I cant find a bouquet I like, my dress is quite detailed on the stomach area and has a full skirt which is ruffled in places.

I was going to have a cala lilly teardrop but am worried it will cover up my dress

What is everyone else having, any pics

Or any websites you can recommend to get some ideas?

Thanks allx

    How about a simple hand tied bouquet? Most of the time you won't be holding it in front of the dress anyway.

    Hello!

    I haven't got any photos of what I'm having as me and my partner aren't getting married until I finish university, but I found some sites that might interest you when I've been browsing!

    http://www.cariaddesigns.co.uk/gallery.htm - loads on this site.

    http://weddings.theknot.com/ODB/themes/realweddings/results.aspx?type=3&wedding_details=Bridal%20Bouquets,Bridesmaid%20Bouquets - here's another one.

    Hope this helps somewhat Smiley smile

    You're welcome to browse through my gallery at www.bygeorgebespoke.co.uk. Although some shapes go better with certain styles of dress, the most important thing at the end of the day is that you love what you're carrying. Zippy is right; you won't be carrying the bouquet for long so whatever you go for, it won't hide your dress for long!

    Personally, I think calla lily teardrops are beautiful. If you are concerned about it, you could always go for a semi-crescent, which has a small teardrop at the front and then arches back to oneside, almost mimicking the effect of an overarm. That's a terrible description - you'll get a better idea from the photo on the gallery!!

    Hope it gives you some ideas, Georgie

    Hi

    Have you considered a sheaf wedding bouquet, you carry this across your arm, so the detail of the dress will still be visible.
