10 Round Bouquets to Inspire the Classic Bride
When thinking about flowers for your wedding, there’s a good chance your mind drifts to the type of bouquet you’ll carry down the aisle. Arguably the most import floral design of the day and easily the most photographed, the bouquet you select says a lot about your personal style! Round? Cascading? Natural? Selecting a bouquet style is just as personal as picking out your dress, and both will influence the overall vibe of your wedding day. For example: if you’ve always envisioned wearing a ball gown and carrying all white roses, chances are you aren’t hosting a beach wedding!
Today we’re featuring inspiration for what is probably the most timeless of bridal bouquet styles: the Classic Round Bouquet. An elegant choice, round bouquets often feature soft, romantic flowers like peonies, ranunculus and different varieties of roses. They can be mono-botanic (only one type of flower) or a mix of blooms, but typically don’t include greenery. Round bouquets complement a wide variety of dress styles, and while they can easily be designed with any color palette, most of our Belli Fiori Brides who opt for a round bouquet have also selected a soft pastel or neutral color palette. Celebrity brides who carried round bouquets include Reese Witherspoon, Serena Williams, Chelsea Clinton, Amal Alamuddin and Carrie Underwood!
I’ve selected 10 gorgeous round Belli Fiori bouquets to inspire the classic bride…

Ok so… I know I said Classic Round bouquets typically don’t include greenery, but design rules were made to be broken. Kate’s bouquet was still quite traditional and featured fragrant gardenias. These delicate blooms have to be handled carefully so as not to brown - Sandra wore gloves while designing this beauty!
