And invariably the first question that comes up is, \u201cWhat size should the wedding bouquet be?\u201d The answer depends on a number of things. And the flowers you want to use aren\u2019t the only consideration. Your size and, believe it or not, even your strength \u2013 no, not so you can toss the bouquet across the room \u2013 are important factors to consider, as well. The size of the wedding bouquet should be appropriate to the size of the bride. Petite brides could get lost behind an overly large bouquet, while a larger bride could make some bouquet arrangements look undersized. And consider your strength &#8211; You\u2019ll be holding the bouquet for a long time, so you don\u2019t want a bouquet that\u2019s going to seem like a lead weight after a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>And let\u2019s not forget the boutonniere for the gentleman. A smaller flower for the guy is a must. Keep the boutonniere a modest size. I\u2019ve seen some grooms parties where the men look like they\u2019re wearing corsages. For bouquets and boutonnieres alike, size does matter.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great day!<\/p>\n<p>Laura<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Laura Madden, Senior Sales Manager, Pleasantdale Ch\u00e2teau Remember playing the daydreaming game, \u201cHe loves me, he loves me not?\u201d Well, if he\u2019s marrying you, he obviously does love you, but some brides-to-be play a version of this game with their bouquets: they put so much attention and thought into them, they ask themselves, \u201cShould [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,1],"tags":[51,482,483],"class_list":["post-153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-party-planning","category-style-alert","tag-bridal-bouquet","tag-wedding-flowers","tag-wedding-planning"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pleasantdale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pleasantdale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pleasantdale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pleasantdale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pleasantdale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pleasantdale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pleasantdale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pleasantdale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pleasantdale.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
