Styles of Bouquets

The choice of your wedding bouquet depends of the style of your gown. Bouquets can range from the just-picked-from-the-garden look, to the tailored-stylised formal look. You should get a sense of balance between your gown and your bouquet. A fresh-picked bouquet from the garden may look out of place with a very formal gown. The bouquet size should be proportion to the bride. Too large a bouquet would simply overpower the bride and clutter her elegant dress. There are seven main shapes to consider:  Cascade: Large, tear-shaped arrangement in which flowers gracefull spill downward Nosegay: Round in shape, in a tightly bound cluser of small flowers Arm Bouquet: Graceful crescent shape designed to be cradled in one arm Biedermeier Bouquet: Concentric circles of flowers in different flowers Hand-Tied Bouquet: A simple cluster of long stems, tied with a ribbon Spray Bouquet: Usually a triangular shaped cluser of flowers Pomander: Ball of flowers suspended from the wrist by decorative ribbons
