Show me: your bouquets *with* your height

LadyMonk, on August 29, 2014 at 11:06 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

I'm making my own bouquet with costco flowers, and I'm trying to get a sense of how big I should make mine. Show me photos of you preferrably holding yours for scale, and tell me how tall you are!

They say that petite ladies should have smaller bouquets, so I want to see some photos!!!

FYI: I'm almost 5'3" and my dress is lace & tulle (if that matters?)

    No pics of me with it though. I'm 5'9". I can tell you it's not quite as tall as my hand is long though.

    Here's mine. It was a bit large. I was going to compress it to be a little smaller for the wedding, but forgot. I'm 5'1" and had on 4 in heels.

    I'm 5'1" and chose a "bridesmaid size" brooch and silk fabric bouquet instead of the larger bride's version. I think it's about six inches across.

    I'm 5'4" and made sure my bouquet wouldn't be too large for my frame.

    Picture 1 is me and Hubby

    Picture 2 is me and BMs so you can see mine is larger than the BMs but still not huge.

    My sisters and mom made the bouquets with me. They turned out great! I didn't really care about the size, and this is the only photo I have with it so far. Worked for me!

    I just remembered something funny. The guy who owns that Yes to the Dress store wrote a book and it says "your bouquet should not be larger than your head!". I just thought it was funny, but it got me thinking Smiley smile

    I'm 5'5 and I chose to have more of a "freeform" bouquet so it was a bit bigger but I loved it!
