Much like your veil trails behind you in an elegant and stately way, turn your floral bouquet into a pseudo veil by requesting a long and colorful garland of flowers to drape around your arm or wrist. The trails of flowers and leaves will make a statement and complement any dress or cathedral style veil or train, creating an innovative and unique take on the bridal.

Take your wedding bouquet to the next level by turning it into a wearable piece of art. Thick floral sleeves, garland-style jewelry, or a wearable purse or hoop will all add an exciting and breathtaking element to your wedding outfit. Drape elegant greenery around your arm for the perfect living accessory to accompany you down the aisle or tuck flowers into your hair and sleeves for the perfect homage to glamor and natural beauty.
4. Back Bouquets are the Future
Highlight your frame and the stunning design of your dress with a hanging floral accessory that sits comfortably down your back. The interplay of floral design, textural details, and your hair design will create a jaw-dropping look your photographer just won’t get enough of. Draw attention to little details and turn your wedding look into a near-goddess like display with carefully curated and styled floral details that stun all in attendance.
5. Dress to Impress with Live Flowers
For the boldest of brides, flowers are not just accessories, but a living fabric that can design creative and innovative gowns with unique touches that are simply irreplaceable. Build a bodice out of intertwined vines and floral blooms or add trails of blossoms down your train and veil. Living dresses bring an element of creative wonder to any look and will astonish anyone on the hunt for a totally unique way to incorporate a wedding bouquet.
