Bouquet and The Size

Belle, on April 11, 2020 at 3:56 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 9
I am thorn between what flower and the size of the bouquet. I am only 4”7 short, a bit under 90lbs, ordered a sheath dress with train and fingertip veil. So I think I should better avoid the large size and go with a round shaped bouquet.


What is a good size for it? As wide as my waist?

    My waist is about 10-11” wide.

    I would go pretty small.


    I’m 5 feet and 103 lbs (between 25-26” waist) and I asked for a medium bouquet. I didn’t want the bouquet covering up most of my dress when walking down the aisle and for pics.
    Maybe ask your florist for suggestions and his/her thoughts on it as well?

    My waist circumference is 26” as well.


    I asked a few florist at the destination, but they all said it’s up to me. How big is a medium? 8” in diameter? I am afraid to say medium to them and expect it to be as I imagine, since everyone has their own sizes.
    I wish there is a store I can try to hold a few bouquet sizes to get a better idea

    Oh shoot. Hmmm... are you able to do a in-person consultation with them? I did an in-person with my florist before hiring her so we were able to really talk through everything I was envisioning as well as what size would look best on me.


    Also will they be on-site the day of? Or just dropping off? We had ours on-site for a few hours (her team was finishing building centerpieces and she had to do installations as well) so if there was a problem with the personal florals, she could easily fix it.

    You can go to your local grocery store or florist and measure a bouquet against your body and see what size fits without buying.
