This is the first official post in our new “Real Bouquets from the Hive” series. We launched a set of bouquet surveys on the boards, starting with the most popular styles of wedding bouquets. (You can find them at the bottom of this post, as well as on the Boards as a stickied post.)
Why a “Real Bouquets” series?
We here at Weddingbee love providing inspiration of all kinds, and we thought it would be incredible to have a series of posts dedicated to the most popular kinds of bridal bouquets out there. It’s perfect for those who are just starting to get ideas for their florist or for their DIY bouquet.
How can YOU participate?
Head to the bottom of this post to be featured here on the blog with your real bridal bouquet. Closeups are better, but just use your judgment to choose the photo that captures your bouquet at its most beautiful. Make sure you fill out the survey completely, inclduing uploading your bouquet image to our Gallery.
These posts will continuously be updated to reflect new real bouquet submissions, and eventually we hope they will be an amazing repository of REAL bouquets that will help the hive make decisions about what kind of bouquet they want to carry for their wedding.
Without further ado, here’s our first installment, featuring mixed floral bridal bouquets.
