Are Hoop Bouquets Awkward?

I have seen these too and think they are so cute! Although I am not using them I feel like they could just hold them with two hands or loop them around their arm while standing and If they are walking down the isle with someone else I think looping them around the arm would look nice, if they are walking alone I think if they held them with both hands would look nice.

I personally don't like the look of them but it might be because I love the traditional bouquet look. I think it depends on your theme, too! I don't think it would be awkward to carry down the aisle. As PP mentioned, they could hold them with two hands or around their arm while they're standing.

Oh I like the idea of them looping it around their arm while walking down the aisle! Thanks

I think they're really cute, not akward but I've just never seen anyone use them in person! I think looping it around the arm would probably be the best way to hold them

In my opinion yes I think they’re awkward looking

Hi Megan!! Welcome to WeddingWire!! I personally like the idea of hoop bouquets! I think they're pretty cool and aesthetically pleasing. Here are some pictures I found as examples!

However, as someone who has a short attention span as it is, I can promise you, if I was given one, I would end up spinning it on my arm. At some point in time. So as pretty as they look, they might not be the most logistically sound choice for flowers.

I have to agree with this.

Thank you! I'm in the same boat I've never seen it used a ceremony just in photos. Maybe I'll just have to make one and see what I think in person

I would find this awkward. I personally like the bouquet as a bridesmaid because it gives me a posture and stance with arms out in front I am supposed to have. I wouldn't want to carry a hoop because it makes for more awkwardness and uncomfortable feeling especially when all eyes and cameras are on you. If you really like it I would ask your girls how they feel about it and discuss how to hold it.

Yes awkward. I don’t like them

I love them and will be using them! I think I'm going to ask them to loop it on their arm like a handbag for the walk and ceremony and then hold with both hands for the pictures afterwards. I think they are so unique and a breath of fresh air from the ultra formal stance of a traditional bouquet. Small traditional bouquets clasped with both hands remind me of funerals so I was really glad to find a more relaxed option

Personally dont like the look of them. Seems like it would be awkward to carry around

I am in love with them. it's something different and something you don't see every day at a lot of weddings. I have shown them to a few of my bridesmaids and they all said they will carry them because it's about me and not them. if anyone has used them I would love to see pictures of how they used them while walking down the aisle.

View Quoted Comment I totally agree with you about the ultra formal stance and the funeral look. I will be using the hoops as well. ❤️😊
