I’m torn between bouquet and floral arrangements...!

When it comes to wedding flowers,

✅ Bouquets

✅ Floral arrangements for the head table

✅ Floral arrangements for guest tables

✅ Decorations for the wedding cake

there are several aspects to decide on.

It’s quite a dilemma whether to have everything unified or separate, isn’t it...?

Moreover, if you're going to have a second bouquet for the outfit change, you’ll have two bouquets to manage.

I’ve also coordinated weddings with marry, and I really pondered over how to handle the floral arrangements and bouquets at that time.

Both options of keeping them unified or separate have their own advantages...!

I was curious about what everyone else does, so I conducted a poll on marry’s Instagram Stories, and here are the results.

【Question】

How did you coordinate your bouquet and floral arrangements?

In this poll, it seems that more people opted for linking the designs...

Each bride sent in photos of the floral arrangements and bouquets they used for their weddings, so take a look＊

(For those who had two bouquets, I also received photos of both.)

They used the same flowers for the floral arrangements as in the bouquet. (The first bouquet has anemones, and the second has tulips 🌷)

It isn’t exactly the same, but I coordinated them to match 😌

Instead of focusing on the flowers, we unified by theme 🎈

Everything was unified in white. Roses were used in both the bouquet and arrangements.

case⑭

The bouquet was outsourced while the head table flowers were from the venue, but they matched the color tones.

I matched the bouquet with the wedding dress and floral arrangements.

The bouquet for the colored dress was coordinated with the dress, so it didn’t match the floral arrangements.

@kmio_wed

case㉒

I only matched the white bouquet with the floral arrangements.

@mmk108h

case㉒

The bouquet for the wedding dress didn’t match the floral arrangements, but since the reception venue had a white theme, using a white bouquet turned out great!

The bouquet for the colored dress was in pink/purple, and the venue’s floral arrangements included pink and blue, which matched wonderfully and received positive feedback from guests 😊

Not emphasizing consistency

case①

I thought of the floral arrangements and bouquet separately!

@m_a_04wedding

case②

I love orchids, so I included them in both the head table and bouquet, but for the rest, I just combined my favorite flowers without focusing on consistency 🥹

case⑤

I didn’t specifically think about consistency with the floral arrangements and bouquet 😊 Instead, I deliberately made them completely different to highlight individuality 🎵

@ykyk116

case⑥

I made sure the atmosphere of the floral arrangements and bouquet didn’t differ too much, but I didn’t link them. The king protea was the only flower that was linked!

Both are adorable 🌼

We’ve seen examples of floral arrangements and bouquet coordination from over 30 brides 🌷

What I’ve learned from all these examples is that as long as the taste is consistent, using different flowers or colors for the bouquet or floral arrangements throughout different locations doesn’t look out of place.

Unifying all the flowers can be overwhelming and beautiful, and keeping them separate lets you explore many charms. Both options are cute, so it truly is a tough decision...!

I hope this article helps you envision how it might look if you choose to unify the designs or keep them separate, and what kind of atmosphere you want to create on your wedding day＊
