A cascading bouquet of white roses and greenery — timeless and dramatic for Florida weddings
Choosing a wedding bouquet in South Florida is different from choosing one for a wedding in New England or the Pacific Northwest. The climate, the light, the venues — they all shape what works. After making hundreds of bridal bouquets for South Florida brides, here are the styles we see work best.
1. Round Posy Bouquet — The Classic Choice
Compact, symmetrical, and timeless. A round posy is the bouquet most people picture when they think "wedding flowers" — and for good reason. It works in every venue, photographs beautifully, and keeps attention on the couple rather than competing with a statement arrangement.
In South Florida, we typically make these with French roses, peonies, ranunculus, and lisianthus. Soft pinks and whites hold up well in Florida heat.

2. Cascading Bouquet — For a Dramatic Entrance
A cascading bouquet trails down from the hands — sometimes 12 inches, sometimes almost to the floor. It's the most photographed style at the altar because it creates a visual flow from the bride's hands downward. Works especially well with long-train gowns and tall venues.
3. Tropical Bouquet — Uniquely South Florida
This is where South Florida brides have an advantage. Tropical bouquets featuring white orchids, birds of paradise, anthurium, and lush foliage are stunning in the Florida light — and completely impractical to replicate in most of the country. If you're getting married outdoors or in a garden venue, consider leaning into the local palette.

4. Garden-Style Bouquet — Loose and Romantic
Less structured than a round posy, the garden-style bouquet has an intentionally relaxed, just-picked look. Wildflowers, herbs, ranunculus, sweet peas. Popular for garden weddings, elopements, and brides who want something that feels personal rather than polished.
5. Minimalist Single-Stem or Small Clutch
For elopements, courthouse weddings, and intimate ceremonies, a single oversized peony or a small clutch of three to five stems can be more intentional than a full arrangement. We see this increasingly for our elopement packages.
Pricing and What to Expect
Bridal bouquets at Forever Lovies start at $85 for smaller arrangements. Most brides invest $120–$180 for a full bouquet. Matching boutonnière starts at $35. Full bridal bouquet + boutonnière packages from $160.

When to Order
For elopements and small weddings, 2–3 weeks in advance is usually fine. Peak season (November–April) and Valentine's Day weekend — book 4–6 weeks ahead.
