Bouquet Styles
As it gets closer to your wedding day, the more the "little" details will become "huge" details. Your wedding bouquet is no different. You might have decided a long time ago that you wanted to carry lilies and orchids in your wedding bouquet, but how do you want those lilies and orchids to be arranged? A bouquet's style says just as much about the bride as do the flowers that are in it.
The three most recognized wedding bouquet styles are the hand-tied bouquet styles, the round bouquet styles and the cascade bouquet styles.
Hand Tied Bouquet Styles
The hand tied bouquet style has been rapidly gaining in popularity in recent years. This style of bouquet is the most casual of the three major bouquet styles. It features a flower bunch that is tied together with a ribbon. The flower stems are left exposed. This bouquet style works well for brides who don't want a lot of fuss put into their bouquets. It also is good for brides who change their minds as the flowers can be changed at the last minute.
Round Bouquet Styles
It should go without saying that the round bouquet style is, once all of the flowers have been gathered, round. Typically this kind of bouquet style features a single type of flower, though variations have been made to feature multiple types of flowers. In this kind of bouquet style it is key that a color scheme is adhered to. These bouquets are often smaller and "fussier," but they do hold up quite well when it comes time to toss the bouquet at the reception!
Cascade Bouquet Styles
The cascade bouquet style is for a bride who wants her bridal bouquet to be elegant. This bouquet style features flowers mixed with greens to form a sort of waterfall shape up and over the bride's hands. The bouquet needn't be lavish, some simple flowers and ivy work perfectly. This bouquet style is perfect for brides who are afraid of people seeing their hands shake during the ceremony is it, for the most part, can keep the bride's hands hidden.
Many people think that the bridal bouquet is about what kind of flowers the bride likes and the color scheme of the wedding, but it is much more than that. Bouquet styles accent the bride's gown and are one of the features of the day that will always be remembered!
