Perfect Posies for Bridesmaids
It has always been traditional for bridesmaids to carry a posy or bouquet of flowers which complement the brides own bouquet. As the bridesmaids flowers should complement them & their outfits it is important to choose wisely when decided on the shape & size of their bouquets.
The age of your bridesmaids should be taken into consideration. For instance, older bridesmaids would best suit small simple posies or even just a flower corsarge or hair accessory. With younger bridesmaids or flowergirls you can opt for floral circlets, corsages, pomanders & even baskets filled with fresh petals.
Consider color, use the same types of flowers that are in your own bouquet or go for another complimentary shade e.g you are wearing white with a pink bouquet & your bridesmaids are in pink, choose arrangements of white & pink flowers. The style of their outfits should also be taken into consideration along with their height. Tall bridesmaids will suit a large bouquet whilst petite bridesmaids could appear swamped with a large bouquet & would be better suited to a small posy lazer dresses
. Make sure your bridesmaids are happy with your choices & always compromise with them on styles, so long as you are all co-ordinated.
There are various choices for your bridesmaids flowers but usually options are:
Posies – simple hand tied bouquets which are usually smaller versions of your own.
Pomanders – a great choice for younger bridesmaids. Pomanders are spherical arrangements of tightly packed flowers, with a ribbon handle.
Single flowers – simple a single bloom such as a calla lilly or gerbera. A nice choice for a low key wedding.
Other choices can include wicker baskets with floral arrangements or a modern version of a raffia handbag filled with flowers. Other more contemporary arrangements include exotic flowers & interestingly shaped foliage & shaped bouquets, such as hearts or horseshoes.
