Your bouquet is more than just a collection of flowers—it’s the heart of your wedding day look. Whether you’re carrying it down the aisle, holding it during portraits, or simply enjoying its beauty throughout the day, it’s a personal and meaningful part of your celebration. It’s often featured in so many photos and is one of the most popular floral pieces to preserve, making it a lasting symbol of your wedding day.

That’s why we always say: go for it when it comes to your bouquet! Beyond being a gorgeous statement piece, your bouquet is an opportunity to tell a story and infuse it with memories, traditions, and your unique personality. Here are a few thoughtful ways to make it truly yours.

1. Attach a Sentimental Item to the Handle

One meaningful way to personalize your bouquet is by adding a sentimental item to the handle. This could be:

A locket with a photo of someone special.
A family heirloom like a brooch or charm.
A piece of jewelry, such as a bracelet or pin, that holds special significance.

These details are a beautiful way to carry a connection to your loved ones with you throughout the day.

2. Wrap Your Bouquet in Meaningful Fabric

The fabric wrapping your bouquet handle is a perfect opportunity to add a personal touch. You might use:

A piece of fabric from a parent or guardian’s suit, dress, or other meaningful clothing item.
A hemmed section of your own outfit or veil, or fabric from a loved one’s wedding day attire.
A scarf, ribbon, or textile that carries cultural, familial, or personal significance.

This thoughtful detail can add layers of love and meaning to your bouquet.

3. Incorporate Flowers with Family or Personal Connections

Flowers themselves often carry deep symbolism and emotional meaning. You can choose blooms that honor your family, culture, or personal story. For instance, one of our clients included stephanotis and lily of the valley in their bouquet because those flowers had been part of their parent’s wedding. To make it their own, we updated the design with their favorite greenery and textural accents like astilbe and sweet pea.

You could also incorporate flowers that remind you of your childhood home, favorite memories, or blooms significant to your relationship or heritage.

4. Include Your “Something Blue”

Looking to honor the tradition of “something blue”? Your bouquet is the perfect place to include it! You can tuck in a light blue bloom just for you to enjoy or wrap the handle in a blue ribbon. This subtle touch adds a meaningful detail to your bouquet while weaving in a bit of tradition.

Your bouquet isn’t just an accessory—it’s a reflection of you. By infusing it with meaning, you can carry a little piece of your history, family, or personality as you step into this next chapter of your life.
