    Learn More About Wedding Bouquets

    The wedding bouquet is a symbol of beauty, a floral arrangement that brides traditionally carry as they walk down the aisle in the wedding ceremony. The flowers in the bridesmaids’ bouquets and corsages worn by the rest of the wedding party typically coordinate with the bride’s bouquet.


    The flowers in a wedding bouquet are often chosen to match the color scheme and theme of the wedding and may convey a specific sentiment as well. For example, white roses are believed by some to symbolize loyalty and purity, while pink peonies are thought to symbolize happiness and romance.


    During the reception, some brides also take part in the tradition of tossing the wedding bouquet over their shoulder. According to tradition, whoever catches it is said to be the next one to get married.

    When picking a bouquet for your special day, here are a few things to keep in mind:


    Artificial wedding bouquets made of beautiful and lifelike silk flowers offer a durable and low-maintenance option that can be customized to match any color or style. They can become meaningful keepsakes after the wedding. You can also add some real flowers to them on the day of if you’d like a combination of both real and artificial.


    Real wedding bouquets offer the beauty and fragrance of fresh flowers, and many brides choose them for their natural elegance and traditional appeal. However, real flowers are perishable and wilt after the wedding. If you wish to keep your bouquet as a memory, explore the wedding bouquet preservation options available from the sellers on Etsy.
