What type of wedding bouquet should I choose - slim girl, pear shaped?

I'm very slim but pear-shaped (wide hips). I've got simple white wedding dress with laces. I like pink, violet, cream flowers with green elements (grass and leaves).


Please help.

What type of wedding bouquet should I choose - slim girl, pear shaped?
Here is the information that I found about body types and bouquet styles...I never even thought about it until you brought it up. Thanks, good to know. Hope this info helps:


Basically, there are three categories of wedding bouquet style : cascade, round and hand-tied. Each with its own shape and uniqueness.





The cascade is shaped like the waterfall, more flowers on the top with some flowers can be seen flowing downwards. It is blended with some greeneries.





The round shaped bouquet is of course round in shape with less greenery. The flowers are usually not from a single type but multiple types all arranged tightly to each other.





The hand-tied is a bunch of flowers loosely tied together to show the stems.





To choose the right wedding bouquet style, you must consider three things : the size of your body, your wedding gown and the look that you want to create for yourself.





If you want to look slimmer on your wedding day, choose the cascade wedding bouquet. It has a slimming effect because of its shape : from roundish on the top and pointy at the bottom. Want to look slimmer? Choose cascade.





If you are tall, you should go for hand-tied or maybe cascade. Never go for round. With the heels you will be wearing, you will seem extra tall on that day. To be seen as a perfect couple, you need to balance your height with your husband-to-be.





If you want to hide your big hips, go for other bouquets but round. Carrying a round bouquet will make your hips look bigger. Imagine people commenting on your hips on your wedding day. That won't happen to you because now you know.





If you will be wearing a sleeveless wedding gown, there is one perfect wedding bouquet for you. This bouquet is made for sleeveless gowns. The arm bouquet. It will complement your gown nicely.





If you prefer a casual look on your wedding day, go for the hand-tied bouquet. The flowers will look as if they are freshly picked from your garden and tied nicely. You will look fresh and natural carrying a hand-tied bouquet.





If you have a small body, a round bouquet would be perfect. The shape of your body and the bouquet will be balanced, thus creating the perfect look.





Let's look at what's the latest trend in wedding bouquet style...





Become The Envy Of Your Friends ...Get The Hand-Tied Wedding Bouquet





The hand-tied wedding bouquet is gaining popularity everyday. It has become a must for all bride-to-bes.





You will look slimmer and more elegant on your wedding day when you carry a hand-tied wedding bouquet.





You will look fresh and natural on your wedding day when you carry a hand-tied wedding bouquet because the flowers look like they have just being picked from the garden.





Whatever wedding bouquet style you choose, you should know how to carry it well. Carry it around your waistline near your hip bones. Only then, the elegance of the flower and beauty of the gown will come through. When that happens, you will look your best on that special day.

Reply:the arm bouquet's look nice, but honestly are a pain in the butt - and if your dress has lace on it, everything'll stick to it! I'd suggest a cascade - wider at the top, narrower at the bottom, which will possibly counter your figure - but ya know what - no one will remember your flowers, just the glow of the beautiful bride!
Reply:Callie Lillies or roses
Reply:what does your body shape have to do with you bouquet?
Reply:I'd go with a simple bouquet of long stemmed lillies...these come in white or cream with violet accents. Or another option is the arm boquet. Magnolias would look beautiful too..it's a large flower...can also come in the violet and cream colors and with a flower this large..would look great as a single flower boquet. See these pics:

For green elemets:


Green is your basic accent color as it goes with all colors, after all mother nature know best... Greenery adds color and texture.


-- Silvery greens include eucalyptus and silver queen.


--Deep greens are found in ivy, camellia leaves, ferns, rose leaves, magnolia leaves, galyx, hosta, palms, lemon leaf, evergreens, and bear grass.


--Lighter greens in grape leaves, tulip leaves, ivy, euphorbia, hosta, green parrot tulips, hydrangia, berries, and orchids.


--accents of lime green add another layer of color interest.


-- Camellia leaves are shiny deep green, evenly shaped and quite elegant.


-- Ivy is more textured and can be verigated in color.


-- Ferns offer a lighter green and a lacy look


-- eucalyptus come in a gray-green tone.


-- Pretty loops of bear grass add a light, green touch, and a gentle curving line when added to bridal bouquets or centerpiece arrangements. We offer bouquets made within airy "cages" of bear grass.
Reply:I think it depends more on your height than your shape. If you are short, a bouquet with cascading flowers might accentuate that. If you are medium height or tall, no problem. Personally, I like the fat, round bouquets you see a lot of now. They'll work with anyone, and keep the guests' eyes from traveling down.





Most people are going to be watching your face, regardless, and trying to catch your expressions.





Best of luck.
