The Bride’s Bouquet: Why No Two Should Ever Be the Same
When planning a wedding, few details are as personal and powerful as the bride’s bouquet. It's more than just a bundle of blooms; it’s a reflection of style, story, and soul. As florists in the heart of New Orleans, a city that thrives on individuality and celebration, we’ve seen firsthand how the right bouquet can elevate the moment a bride walks down the aisle.
But here's the truth: not all bridal bouquets are created equal, and they shouldn’t be.
The Bouquet is an Extension of the Bride
Think of the bridal bouquet as a wearable work of art. It frames the gown, complements the silhouette, and adds texture and color to every photo. But most importantly, it captures who the bride is. That’s why we never take a one-size-fits-all approach.
Some brides dream of soft, cascading greenery and muted garden roses; others want bold, tropical color palettes or sculptural, architectural stems. Each choice tells a story of heritage, personality, and love.

Factors That Shape a Bride’s Bouquet
1. The Dress
The bouquet should harmonize with the dress, not compete with it. A sleek, minimalist gown might call for a structured, modern bouquet. A romantic lace dress? Perhaps something loose, overflowing, and whimsical.
2. The Setting
Is the wedding in the French Quarter? In a modern downtown loft? Your bouquet should belong in the space visually. We consider the venue’s tone, lighting, and environment to create something that feels grounded in the experience.
3. The Bride’s Energy
Some brides want soft and sweet. Others? Fierce and fearless. Whether you’re playful, traditional, bohemian, or glam, your bouquet should reflect you. Flowers can do that when selected intentionally.
You’ll hold this bouquet during one of the most meaningful walks of your life. It will be captured in photographs you’ll treasure forever. It’s the piece you’ll likely hold onto as the moment you became a wife.
That’s why it’s worth getting just right.
