Complementary bouquets for me and my bridesmaids

Usually we do the same style but a scaled down version. You could also have different tones and shades if you didn't want your look to be too matchy matchy. 

We believe it to look lovely for the bridal party bouquets to compliment each other, we suggest the brides bouquet to be larger in size than that of the bridesmaids with a few additional flowers to really give it the wow factor.

Though generally the bridal bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets have the same colour palette and florals, the bridesmaid bouquets can however be differening in colour and style though it all needs to all flow to ensure the overall design is cohesive.

I think it looks lovely when the bridesmaids flowers compliment but do not match the brides flowers. You can do this by varying the size of the bouquet or adding a couple of different flowers to the bridal bouquet such as a stem of orchids or a real statement flower to make it look that little more special. you can also vary the shape. so the bridesmaids can have posies while the bride has more of a trailing bouquet. You can also vary the colour but this has to be done carefully so that it doesn't look too random. For example the bridal bouquet could have whites and pinks while the bridesmaides bouquets are just white.

As a general rule, and there is no hard and fast answer, Wedding flowers overall should be in similar styling, however if you decide to have a more structured look and the girls and little different, its the flower content and palette that will bring it all  together and maintain a cohesive look- so either way as long as there is a link throughout the overall floral look, I dont think it matters.  one point of difference we here at Flowers in a Vase Woodend do for our brides, we include several special blooms just for the brides bouquet to make it extra special.
