Wedding Bouquets Utah – Trends, Shapes, and Flowers
Wedding bouquets are one of the most highly photographed floral pieces at a wedding. They become an extension of the bride throughout the day, and set the tone for the florals carried or worn by the wedding party, while shaping the light and atmosphere of wedding portraits. Through the details below, we’re discussing detailed information on the most popular shapes for wedding bouquets in Utah, and we’ve included a selection of flowers we often work with and how to adjust the size of your bouquet to be mindful of your budget.
Wedding Bouquets Utah - Our Top Requested Shapes
Wedding bouquets for Utah brides come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Wondering what shape to choose for your wedding bouquet? Here are three distinct styles that the brides we work with request time and time again.
Heart Shaped
One of our most popular requests for Utah brides is the heart-shaped bouquet. This shape is for the true romantics at heart, the brides who desire a wedding bouquet with volume and hidden surprise. Heart-shaped bouquets are not tightly bundled in an overt heart shape. Instead, think of them as more comparable to a round bouquet, but with two indistinct “bunny ears” at the top. Heart-shaped bridal bouquets photograph beautifully and can be created with whimsical or romantic appeal.
Round
Perhaps the most well-known shape when it comes to bridal bouquets is the round bouquet. It’s tightly arranged and symmetrical in design. A round wedding bouquet features a dome shape of tightly bundled florals and can fit nearly any style of wedding from mountain elopement to black-tie ballroom. Round wedding bouquets for Utah brides can be curated using one type of flower or a number of florals in a complementary or monochromatic color palette.
Cascasding
Vintage in nature, a cascading bouquet is for the bride who wants a little bit of added drama to their wedding day style. Cascading bouquets are oversized in length, and typically taper down to a narrow point. They became popular in the 1980s after Princess Diana carried a teardrop-shaped bouquet down the aisle at her royal wedding. Today, cascading bouquets are often enriched with the addition of greenery, such as amaranthus, for a more modern appeal, and can be created through a 'wild and free' organic structure.
Best Blooms to Use for Wedding Bouquets in Utah
Structural, free-flowing, romantic, bursting with color, or curated with whimsy. The type of florals in Utah wedding bouquets lend themselves to your wedding photos, and how well your bouquet will last throughout the day. Aside from their color and appearance, flowers are also selected for the overall depth and texture they add to a bouquet. Below is an inside look into some of the most commonly used florals for Utah wedding bouquets at Wild Earth Designs.
Anthurium - Bold, modern, and durable, anthurium is having a moment. Mimicking the shape of an upside-down spade, anthurium is an amazing flower for creative wedding bouquets.
Amaranthus - Unique in length and texture, amaranthus flowers are long, billowing blooms often referred to as a tassel flower. Amaranthus is highly recommended for cascading bouquets or large-scale, immersive floral installations such as your wedding arbor, entryway florals, or hanging arrangements.
Cala Lilies - Sleek in texture, these blooms come in a variety of classic colors. They feature a classic trumpet shape, adding a symmetrical, architectural look to bridal bouquets.
Hydrangeas - If volume is your end game, these ball-shaped blooms are oversized in nature and known for their refined, elegant appearance.
Orchids - A true statement floral, orchids are delicate and dramatic, with a long-lasting quality that will allow them to hold their shape throughout the day.
Ranunculus - An affordable alternative to peonies, ranunculus also have layered petals. They hold up well throughout the day and come in a selection of vibrant hues.
Roses - Widely available year-round, roses come in a selection of colors and varieties. They provide a versatile look to any bouquet through their silky soft texture.
Selecting the Size for Your Bouquet
The overall size of your bouquet will be determined by a few factors, including budget and the type of flowers you’d like to include in your bouquet.
The bouquets that Wild Earth Designs creates range in price from $150 to $350. Most brides invest around $225 on their bouquet.
If you’re trying to make the most of your budget and want to create a more voluminous bouquet, we recommend working with in-season flowers. Freshly sourced flowers that are in season at the time of your wedding will be more widely available, allowing you to add a larger number of flowers to your bouquet while still being respectful of your overall spend.
Another factor that can impact the quality and size of your bouquet is the use of greenery. Greenery is often more cost-effective than exotic florals. It can be used on its own to construct a bouquet or with an earthy feel. Or as an addition to an oversized bouquet for an organic effect.
