Oversized Bouquets: Into It or Over It?

This final trend is a pin-spiration vs. practicality showdown! Massive oversized bouquets look stunning in pictures, but in real life they've got to be heavy!!! From giant single blooms to huge cascading bouquets, fantastic floral bouquets have seriously swung back in popularity. 💐 How do you feel...

    It’s a little too much if you ask me..I’m not trying to drag a whole garden with me down the aisle.

    Not all that into it.. I love a more simple look. This is overwhelming but would fit into a nature, outside, boho look. I just think if it covers up your whole dress as you walk down the isle.. it is kinda pointless.

    I think they are beautiful but not my style. I went with a simple 12 red rose boquet, with Crystal accents in the roses, tied with a white ribbon. And SPECIFICALLY no babies breath allowed. Lol

    I like the wild look of them, but you can get the same feel with a smaller bouquet. I just don’t think they are very practical, though I have seen some that are absolutely stunning!

    They are beautiful but would have to go with the theme and the dress. A dress that is really plain and simple in front with lots of drama in the back would be excellent with a bouquet like this, but it would clash with a really ornate dress in the front. Mine wont be that big because it is acrylic and crystal snowflakes with dried flowers so really heavy to begin with but I do like the oversized look.

    Over it. Agree with PP, covers the wedding dress, they're heavy, you only hold it for a brief moment. Reminds me of the 80's with the ivy coming down.

    The oversize bouquets are cute for photos but I feel like it's unnecessary. You're the bride so it's your day. I'd say do what makes you happy, if you want a big bouquet then get a big bouquet and if you want to smoke a get a small bouquet

    Never have been into this one. The colors are always beautiful but I feel that I takes away from the beauty of the bride and her dress!

    I think they look beautiful, but I would not want to carry something that big. I prefer the smaller ones.

    I love them! The messier the better! I really don't like super round perfect looking bouquets.

    Over it... I don't want to be overwhelmed with flowers I want the attention to be on the dress and me.

    I actually really like a tight bouquet. I don't like a lot of overflowing greenery. And it's easier to hold this way.

    I love cascading bouquets, but I think bouquet's like the one OP posted look like the bride is hiding behind a bush. Just my opinion.

    Im into it!! I love a cascading bouquet and this can be done without covering the dress as well Smiley smile

    i do agree I have seen some where its a way overpowering.. but just adding greenery to have the cascading effect is really all you need..I personally hate how the round traditional bouquet looks

    I’m in the middle. I want something big BUT I don’t want it to look messy. I prefer a more classy/ organized look.
