"Maybe you want your bridesmaids to wear exactly the same dress, hairstyle, and shoes. If that&amp;#x27;s the case (and even if it&amp;#x27;s not!), loosen up the look with bouquets that are all a little different from each other. How can you do that while still having a cohesive style? Read on. Choose one color for the bouquets, but all different flowers. This is one of my favorite looks for bridesmaid bouquets. Say your signature color is purple (mine was!). Then maybe your maid of honor can carry all tulips; another bridesmaid can carry all roses; and another can carry all orchids. The key to coordination here is to choose flowers that are available in near identical shades. Then you&amp;#x27;re free to give classic flowers to some of your attendants and tropical flowers to others. Choose one predominant flower for all of the bridesmaids to carry, but give them each different accent flowers. If you pick a strong, graphic bloom and put a few in each of your bridesmaid bouquets in the same hue, you have the option to spice up the rest of the bouquets with smaller flowers in other colors. For instance, maroon-colored dahlias can be the base of each bouquet, but one can also have lime-green mums, another can also have orange tiger lilies, and another can also have pink ranunculus. It&amp;#x27;ll all work if the filler flowers represent colors in your scheme, too. Choose two or three colors per bouquet and use different flowers. Like the first idea, color can really unify arrangements. With bright hues like blue, green, and yellow, the flowers you use to fill out your bouquets don&amp;#x27;t matter as much as the balance of colors within each arrangement. So go 1/3, 1/3, and 1/3 of each hue (or any proportion, really) and you can really have fun with the petals you pick. Do you want your bridesmaids to carry the same exact bouquets? Or would you be willing to make each bouquet unique? Will your bouquet share elements with their flowers?
