Pretty and Practical: 25 Small Wedding Bouquets that You’ll Love

We love the drama of maximalist, oversized bouquets (like this jaw-dropping beauty from Rayna and Joe’s real wedding), but there’s also a lot to be said for small wedding bouquets. Not only are they totally adorable, but they’re generally more affordable, easier to manage on the day, and they allow your dress to take centre stage. We predict petite posies to become big news, as intimate ceremonies and two-part weddings become ever more popular.  So if a small bridal bouquet is for you, we’ve rounded up a few of our favourites to get you inspired!

Thinking of Carrying A Small Wedding Bouquet? Here’s What You Need To Know…

• Small wedding bouquets can be can be classic or rustic, retro or wild, but if they don’t work for your bridal look, they might be perfect for your bridesmaids!
• Tiny blooms like gypsophila (baby’s breath), lavender and most Irish wildflowers are ideal for this type of bouquet, but petite posies can be created with almost any flower if the ratio is correct.
• If you have your heart set on a particularly expensive variety, like peonies, a cute bouquet containing just a few of these flowers is a good compromise. Your florist will have more suggestions for how to cut down on costs.
