Most of our New Jersey brides want their own bouquets to shine, but they also want their <strong>bridesmaids\u2019 bouquets <\/strong>to be lovely both in person and in their <strong>wedding photos<\/strong> and <strong>wedding video. <\/strong>They want their bridesmaids to love the flowers they\u2019re carrying.<\/p>\n<p>Another trend that carries into <strong>bridesmaid bouquet design<\/strong> is the use of those bouquets as <strong>wedding d\u00e9cor<\/strong> accents, perhaps surrounding the wedding cake, or placed as decorations by the guest book, tribute photos, on the family photo table and at other spots throughout the <strong>wedding venue. <\/strong>With a d\u00e9cor spotlight on <strong>bridesmaid bouquets<\/strong>, great care is taken to design these beautiful bouquets.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the <strong>top bridesmaid bouquet design trends<\/strong> that we have seen here at the Pleasantdale Chateau<em> <\/em>and that local New   Jersey <strong>special event planners <\/strong>and floral designers have reported as being the most often-requested <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blogengage.com\/story.php?title=wedding-decor-new-trends-in-floral-centerpieces\">wedding floral design ideas<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>bridesmaids\u2019 bouquets<\/strong> are a few inches smaller than the <strong>bride\u2019s bouquet<\/strong>. Not dramatically smaller. Not half the size of the <strong>bride\u2019s bouquet<\/strong>, but just a few inches smaller in diameter.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>bridesmaids\u2019 bouquet colors<\/strong> coordinate with the <strong>bride\u2019s bouquet<\/strong> <strong>flower colors, <\/strong>with the bridesmaids\u2019 flower colors featured in more pastel shades than the bride\u2019s vibrant bouquet hues, <em>or<\/em> the bridesmaids\u2019 vibrant bouquets being comprised of two bright colors \u2013 such as red and orange \u2013 while the bride simply carries an all-red bouquet.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>maid of honor\u2019s bouquet <\/strong>is most often designed to stand out from the bridesmaids\u2019 flowers, often including a greater number of brightly-colored flowers.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>bridesmaids\u2019 bouquets<\/strong> consist of mostly the same types of flowers that the bride has included in her own bouquet, but the bride gets a greater number of exotic or larger flowers in her bouquet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bridesmaids\u2019 bouquets<\/strong> are made in the same style as the <strong>bride\u2019s bouquet, <\/strong> with the vast majority of our New Jersey brides from Short Hills, Mendham, Morristown, Far Hills, Franklin Lanes, Basking Ridge and other local regions choosing hand-tied bouquets for their bridesmaids. This is a return to a true bouquet style for bridesmaids, a welcome change from the budget-saving trend of having bridesmaids carry a single rose or a single calla lily. Many brides feel that a single bloom doesn\u2019t fit with a lavishly-planted, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highlawn.com\/us\/new-jersey\/weddings-special-events-venue.html\">floral garden wedding venue<\/a><\/strong> or a <strong>wedding ballroom<\/strong> decorated with large, dramatic floral arrangements. So bridesmaids\u2019 bouquets have returned to a chic, modern hand-tied style.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bridesmaids\u2019 bouquets <\/strong>are designed to include a touch of sparkle from crystal or rhinestone pin accents within the blooms or affixed to the handle.<\/li>\n<li>Brides are using unique leaves and tiny flower filler in their <strong>bridesmaids\u2019 bouquets<\/strong> to provide a visually interesting look and also keep their floral design costs lower, giving them more of their <strong>wedding flower budget<\/strong> to devote to their own bouquets, centerpieces and <strong>wedding cake flowers.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Best,<\/p>\n<p>Michael Mahle, Director of Communications, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pleasantdale.com\/weddings.html\">Pleasantdale Ch\u00e2teau<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When brides design their bridesmaids\u2019 bouquets, they follow the latest trends in coordinating these pretty wedding flower pieces with their own spotlight bride\u2019s bouquets.
