How big was your bouquet?

I feel like I remember from last June my florist showed me a sample size of a typical bride bouquet and it was big.  How big was/is yours? Pics please if you have. 

DId you ask them to make it smaller or stick with their original size?

we are using The Flower Station in Somerset btw if that helps or of anyone else is using them.

    Mine was definitely bigger than my BM bouquets, but I didn't want mine too big because my friend had a huge one, and complained about it being too heavy all day. I liked the size of mine.

    Mine is going to be 30 mini calla lilies.  I specifically told my florist that I didn't want anything too large because I'm pretty small and I don't want the bouquet to overwhelm me, to be too heavy, or to cover a lot of the details on my dress.

    I told mine I wanted a large rough ball of roses and hydrangeas.  I have no idea how large it will be lol.

    My florist offered several different sizes and shapes but suggested a smaller one based on my size and the shape of my gown. It isn't going to be huge. PP had a good point about it being heavy. I also requested that the entire stems be wrapped in ribbon; I like the look of the cut edge but fear it will catch on the fabric of my dress (crinkle chiffon).

    I used the flower station waaaaay back in HS for boutineers for prom. Lol!

    Mine is going to be about the size of 4 fists. I have tiny baby hands and didn't want a big shrub to schlep around all day.

    I asked for mine to be smaller than normal b/c I'm petite and I didn't want it overwhelming me. Even at this it was sooo heavy haha. It was roses/calla lillies/peonies.
