Bouquets

The bridal bouquet is one of the focal points of the entire wedding. All eyes will digest the floral choices and colors selected. The style of your bouquet also plays a role. The style of your dress plays a primary role in the selection process of your wedding bouquet. Some dresses and bouquets serve best for rustic weddings while others work best as a garden style wedding. As for your bridal bouquet you have these options for style:

The Roundy-Moundy Bouquet: This bridal bouquet is a clean crafted beauty that is tight and structured. This is a perfect choice for formal ceremonies and brides with clean, modern dresses. Roses, Lisianthus, and hydrangeas often work best for this style of arrangement.

The Freeflow Bouquet: The most often selected choice of bridal bouquets. Flowers stem from the center similar to the roundy-moundy style, but the flowers are flowing in a non-controlled fashion. The flower choices are endless with this choice and many use loose greenery such as seeded eucalyptus as their foliage choice. This is a great style if you want your bridesmaids to have a smaller scale version that matches your bridal bouquet. Exotic and loose dresses flow well with this bouquet style.

The Cascade Bouquet: Also known as the “waterfall” bouquet, flowers cascade down from the center in a loose manner. Length serves as the main attraction here. Generally Cymbidium or Dendrobium Orchids are a possibility. Brides generally wear long-flowing dresses, such as ball gowns to compliment. Outdoor settings give the bouquet an organic look that blends in with its surroundings.

The Presentation Bouquet: This bouquet’s name suggests it is to be cradled in the arm rather than the hands the way flowers are often presented to someone. They are carried similar to carrying a football. Long stem florals tend to populate the bouquet such as calla lily’s, iris and sunflowers.
