Harmonizing Blooms and Silhouettes

The key to a flawless bridal look lies in the harmony between your gown and bouquet. A simple yet refined dress can be dramatically enhanced with a cascading or garden-style bouquet, while an intricate gown pairs beautifully with the understated elegance of a posy. Classic and timeless brides may find their match in the graceful dance of a garden or cascading bouquet, whereas modern, couture enthusiasts might lean towards the structured charm of a round bouquet. The pertinent element to pairing your bridal blooms with your bridal styling is to harmonize and bring balance between two of the most important bridal elements, your bridal bouquet and gown.

Expert Pairings for the Perfect Look

Our experience has shown us that the right bouquet can elevate any bridal gown:

- Ball Gown: Complement its fairy tale essence with a round, garden, or posy bouquet.

- A-Line: Enhance its classic beauty with a cascading or garden bouquet.

- Mermaid: Accentuate its sleek and modern form with a round bouquet.

- Sheath: Pair its minimalist elegance with a cascading or garden bouquet.

- Fit-and-Flare: Match its versatile nature with a cascading, garden, round, or posy bouquet.

Remember, these are starting points. Our bespoke services ensure your bouquet is perfectly tailored to your dress and personal style, crafted in harmony with your bridal stylist's vision.

Wedding Gown Types/ Styles

Understanding bridal gown silhouettes is the first step for brides in the process of selecting your wedding gown. Each silhouette possesses its own distinct aesthetic and highlights different aspects of your figure and personality. By familiarizing yourself with these silhouettes, you as the bride can articulate your preferences more clearly, allowing consultants to offer tailored recommendations that perfectly reflect your vision. Also, this knowledge empowers brides to make informed decisions that result in a stunning gown perfectly suited to your style and the overall theme of your wedding day.

- Ball gown: This classic silhouette features a fitted bodice and a full skirt that flares out from the waist, resembling a ball shape. It's ideal for brides looking for a fairytale or princess-like look.

- A-line: This silhouette is fitted at the bodice and gradually flares out to the hem, resembling the shape of an uppercase "A". It's versatile and flattering on most body types, making it a popular choice among brides.

- Mermaid: These silhouettes are fitted through the bodice and hips, then flare out at or below the knees. The mermaid silhouette hugs the body more closely, while the trumpet silhouette has a more gradual flare.

- Sheath/column: This silhouette follows the natural shape of the body and doesn't have much flare. It's sleek and minimalist, perfect for brides looking for a modern and understated look.

- Fit-and-flare: Similar to the mermaid silhouette, this style is fitted through the bodice and hips but flares out gradually from the mid-thigh. It offers a balance between the sleekness of a sheath and the drama of a mermaid gown.

Benefits of a Bridal Stylist

A bridal stylist can assist you in choosing the best style for your body type and personality by first understanding your preferences, body shape, and any insecurities you may have. We can then suggest gown styles that accentuate your best features and minimize any areas you may want to downplay. Bridal stylists have knowledge in fabric types, embellishments, and design details, allowing us to guide the bride towards dresses that align with your vision and comfort level.

Bridal stylists often refer to five main body types:

- Pear-shaped: Pear-shaped bodies have narrower shoulders and waist with wider hips and thighs. Dresses that accentuate the waist and balance the proportions by adding volume or detail to the upper body while elongating the silhouette can be flattering. A-line or ball gown silhouettes work well for this body type.

- Apple-shaped: Apple-shaped bodies carry more weight around the midsection. Dresses that draw attention away from the midsection and emphasize the waistline can be flattering. Empire waist or A-line dresses with a defined waistline are good choices, along with V-necklines to elongate the torso.

- Hourglass-shaped: Hourglass-shaped bodies have well-balanced proportions with a defined waist and curves on the upper and lower body. Dresses that highlight the natural waistline and enhance the curves while providing support are ideal. Mermaid or fit-and-flare silhouettes that hug the body and trumpet out below the hips can accentuate the hourglass figure.

- Rectangle-shaped: Rectangle-shaped bodies have similar measurements for the shoulders, waist, and hips, creating a straighter silhouette. Dresses that create the illusion of curves and add definition to the waist can be flattering. Sheath or A-line dresses with detailing at the waist, such as belts or sashes, can help create the desired shape.

-Inverted triangle-shaped: Inverted triangle-shaped bodies have broader shoulders and chest with narrower hips and waist. Dresses that balance the proportions by adding volume or detail to the lower body while minimizing the upper body can be flattering. A-line or ball gown silhouettes with fuller skirts, along with V-necklines or sweetheart necklines, can help create a more balanced look.

A Behind The Scenes Collaboration

The synergy between your bridal stylist and floral designer plays a crucial role, coordinating behind the scenes to provide a seamless and stress-free experience. Your bridal stylist offers vital insights into your gown's silhouette, fabric, and decorative details, ensuring your bouquet perfectly accents your dress. In response, your floral designer thoughtfully selects blooms and designs a bouquet that complements the gown's unique features. This collaborative effort ensures that your bouquet doesn't just match but elevates your overall bridal look, all allowing you to navigate your wedding planning journey with elegance and ease.
