The choice of your wedding bouquet depends a great deal on the style of your gown. Another factor to be considered when choosing a bouquet is a season. Like many brides, you may decide to chose your bouquet based upon the time of year. Bouquets come in these principal types:
Cascade
The cascade is the most traditional and formal style of bridal bouquet. It's a waterfall like of blooms and greenery which is anchored in a hand held base. As the name implies, it resembles a cascade or waterfall with the flowers flowing downward. Traditional wedding flowers used in the cascade bouquet are white and include roses, stephanotis, white or calla lilies, and mingled with greenery.
Classic Hand-Tied Bouquet
This choice is a dense bunch of blooms either anchored in a bouquet holder, wired, or hand-tied. This option gives the illusion of a "just picked" bouquet of spring flowers.
Nosegay
This is actually a general term for any small, round cluster of flowers, all cut to a uniform length. They were all the rage in Victorian times and are popular once again. Usually made with one dominant flower or color, nosegays are wrapped tightly with ribbon or lace for a delicate effect.
Pomander
This style is a bloom-covered ball suspended from a ribbon, perfect for child attendants.
Composite
Less well-known, this option is a handmade creation in which different petals or buds are wired together on a single stem, creating the illusion of one giant flower.
Beidermeier
This is a nosegay made up of concentric circles of different flowers for a somewhat striped effect.
Arm Bouquet
As the name implies, this is an elegant crescent shape, designed to be cradled in one arm.
