‘Tis the season for statement bow wedding ideas! Honestly, holiday pressies have nothing on these pretty little accents that have embellished everything from wedding dresses to bridal heels to bespoke cakes and accessories this year. If we’ve learned anything from watching this fun and fancy-free wedding trend turn into a bonafide design staple, it’s that the age-old adage is true: size does matter. And in this case… yup! The bigger, the better. So without further ado, I present to you the 60 statement bow wedding ideas we have not stopped talking about here in the Ruffled studio all year!
