How big is too big? For a bouquet of course.

NatHam, on June 20, 2017 at 12:58 PM

Posted in Planning 46

I made my bouquets from dried flowers and sola flowers and if I hear one more comment about how big they look I may punch someone. Would anyone care to post a picture of you holding your bouquet and maybe a bridesmaids? I can hold mine and look in a mirror but it's hard to imagine if it's "too big"....

Would anyone care to post a picture of you holding your bouquet and maybe a bridesmaids? I can hold mine and look in a mirror but it's hard to imagine if it's "too big". I think it looks great and let's be honest . . . I won't be holding it all day.

    @gymrat I used sola flowers and the dried flowers looked best for a filler. Here is a little flower picture to show what it looks like.

    That is a massive bouquet. There is no way mine is gonna be that big

    @kittyprawn. I Love yours

    @ogjaci my accents are plum and grey and then the other colors are natural colors along with fall colors. I think the picture throws off the color. It's more of a tan color not yellow

    In all honesty though, do what makes you happy here.

    My bouquet wasn't very big, but it was full and it was heavy. I can't imagine having something bigger and carrying it around.

    Our beloved @rachel made the perfect sized ones for us. I don't have a pic on my phone from my bridesmaids but this was mine and it was a little larger than the bridesmaids one. My dress was huge and I was often using a hand to play with the skirt so I appreciated a bouquet this size that was easy to carry with one hand and didn't take away from much else.

    I think it's perfect! Seriously you did a fantastic job with the sola flowers. Smiley smile The nice thing about using sola and dried flowers is they are not as heavy so you could go big, but it wouldn't weigh ya down. You do you, I am team big bouquet!

    @MrsVoegs, I am about to shove my bouquet somewhere if they don't stop saying 'is that yours? it is so big' 'why would you want something so big' 'they are usually so much smaller' 'that looks heavy'

    then I tell them to hold it and they shut up.. because its like a damn feather. #teamsola all the way!

    I think it really doesn't matter how big it is. My original concern was that your MOH will have to hold it during the ceremony and it could be heavy but since it's dried flowers, it will be light and not impact anyone negatively. So in this case, you do you is appropriate.

    Mine wasn't huge, at least I don't think it was, but I specifically asked my florist for a bouquet that I could easily hold in one hand. However, quite a few people (MOH, best man, mom) commented on how "heavy" it was. I didn't think so, though!

    Personally, they look just fine to me, they look really beautiful. If you like them that's all that matters, anyone who says otherwise can just shove their opinions up their... yeah...

    I'm going for something like this, just on a slightly smaller scale. I love the cascading look!

    They don't look too big, they actually look like an average size.
