Bridal Bouquets


No matter the size of your wedding, one thing is for sure…you will be carrying a beautiful bridal bouquet. For many brides, this is one major detail that you think about for months and months. Not only will your bouquet be a centerpiece for all your portraits and most of your wedding day photos, but a memento to preserve and save for many years to come.



For many brides, picking out the perfect bridal bouquet can be a quite daunting task, especially with so many flower and style options. Below, you will find a breakdown of our favorite styles and colors from the past few seasons.


First, we start with the most popular, modern twist on bridal bouquets, the posy bouquet. The most common posy style bouquets are round and small with tightly arranged roses. These are the bouquets most often seen with a beautiful ribbon wrapped around the stems in order to incorporate the bride’s wedding colors. For brides looking for a more traditional bouquet, perhaps the cascading bouquet would suit the best. This bouquet was created to flow across the brides hands and down towards the bottom of her gown. The cascading of the bouquet is often created by the incorporation of beautiful leafy greenery. Whatever type of bouquet you choose, always keep in mind the time of year as well as the type of dress you are wearing. You would not want to have to pay triple for a bridal bouquet simply because the flowers had to be flown in from across the globe, nor do you want your bouquet to overshadow the detailing of your gown.

Bridal Portraits


The day of your bridal portraits is the day you start truly feeling like a bride. Yes, there may have been tears of joy at the bridal salon when you found “the” dress, but the day of your bridal portraits everything is finally coming together. Your hair and makeup are looking wedding day ready, you have the dress on, and you have your bouquet in hand.


We all know that a bridal portrait session is a fun way to give your wedding day ensemble a test run, but it may be even more important than you think. After months of planning and stressing, you may have fluctuated in size. By scheduling your bridal portraits a month or two before the wedding, you will be able to put on your dress, move around in it, and make sure that alterations can be made if necessary! Of course you will look fabulous on your wedding day, but it is important to make sure you will be comfortable in your dress and shoes for hours and hours.


Another plus to having a bridal portrait session is having plenty of bridal portraits to choose from! The day of your wedding you want to be relaxing and spending time with your guests, not running around taking pictures with different lighting setups and backdrops. By scheduling a two or three hour bridal session, your photographer will be able to take you to several locations and capture portraits in different lights. Not only will you have plenty of unique shots, you will be able to pick the perfect portrait to display at your reception!
