Curious about bouquets

I've been looking at different types of bouquets and wondered what others are doing.  Tight, loose, small, large, flowy, etc. 

And will your BridesM be simlar or totally different?

Just wondering as I can't seem to make up my mind!  LOL  I love flowers but don't want to over do it.

    I'm going to DIY mine, and will be using tulips (and maybe blue irises for mine too).  Since we're using tulips, the bouquets will be kinda "tight," I guess is the right way to describe it, just because of how the stem of the tulip generally is.

    My BMs will have 15 stems of white tulips in their bouquets (their BM dresses are royal blue).
    I will have a total of 30 stems, and they will either be a mixture of white, purple, and yellow tulips OR white tulips and blue irises.  I want a really sturdy bouquet for the bouquet toss.

    From my 1 floral consultation I think I'm doing a 10" loose bouquet with roses, lilys possibly mums and lisianthus and lots of greens and texture. I will have 2 flowers that will only be in my bouquet, but other than that the girls will have the same flowers. I think my MOH will carry an 8" and my BMs will carry 6".

    I loved my bouquet.  Hand tied, red roses, white calla lilies and some lavender dendrobium orchids.

    I don't know how large mine is, but my bouquet is solely roses (perhaps some greenery) and the bridesmaids have smaller versions with a different color ribbon.

    There are so many lovely options, so I can understand the indecision!

    My bouquet will be 10-12", hand tied, tight, round.  It has white and green roses, little green berries, a couple of calla lilies, and some green and white hydrangea.  She also put in some small bits of freshia I think for frangrance.  The bridesmaids will have the same but smaller sized.  Here is a picture of the trial bouquet from my florist.
