    Ok, my wedding is going to be tiny (about 10 people) with no attendents. I fell head over heels in love with an arrangement I saw on Teleflora, but it says approx. 11x11. I know I could ask for bigger, but it seems pretty expensive as is. So I was wondering would that be an ok size? I'm kind of a small person myself so maybe it wouldn't look too bad... Ugh, I dunno.

    I think that arrangment is charming.  I love the rich colours.  What is you dress like?  If you have the big pouffy dress, it may be small.  But if you're going with a tea length dress, or something sleek, I think the size if fine.

    very smart of you to check out the size of the bouquet.  I've seen bouquets that are outrageously huge!  I mean come one can you even lift that thing!! I know the florist probably didn't go over the size visually and just over charged them!  Plus it looks riduclous with some dress and small girls! 

    I'm not sure I understand 11x11 but if I'm thinking thats a box 11x11x11 that the bouquet would fit it then I think thats perfectly fine - if not even big.  but I may be wrong.

    Just talk to your florist.  My florist looked at me and at pictures of my dress and based the size of my bouquet off of those things.  The same look of an arrangement can be done at many, many sizes.  You just add more or less of the flowers.  Show the picture to your florist and he should be able to tailor it to the proper size for you.  If not, you should probably be re-considering your florist because that is pretty standard work for them.
