Choosing bouquets for your wedding series. White bridal bouquets

Welcome to our weeklong blog series on choosing the right bouquets for your wedding.  We're starting off with white wedding bouquets.  In the days to come we'll discuss color bouquets,  and bridesmaid bouquets.

Your bouquet is one of the most noticed accessories that you will choose for your wedding day.  Think of all the photos of weddings you've seen....the bouquet is just as noticed as your dress.  You can't even quite see your jewelry, shoes or veil.  It requires some thought, financial investment and trust in your florist.
When we meet for the consultation please bring a photo of your dress.  I feel it is important because there are some dresses that scream for a certain design or careful thought.

Do you want an all white bouquet?  Many brides grow up dreaming of their wedding day and their flowers.  Did you picture a white dress and white flowers?  Before Pinterest you probably did.  I would say this is the most common request, but then you see the photos of all of the other bouquets and you are confused.  Here are some of our white bouquets.  Looking through all of our photos, I realize that about 50% of our brides wanted white bouquets.

You'll notice that white or neutral bouquets are harder to see because they blend with your dress.  Most of our bouquets incorporate some sort of greenery or texture to break up the look so the flowers are more noticeable in the photos.
I'll start with the ones with less greenery, leading to ones with more.
Is a white bouquet the right one for you?  Take a look and maybe these images will help you to decide.

I love the pop of ribbon on this one.
The bridesmaids dresses were black.
