1.
Cascade
Elegant and timeless, the cascade bouquet is often the
showpiece of the formal wedding costume. Blooms and
greenery spill gracefully from the bride’s hands.
2.
Crescent
A graceful arch is the hallmark of this stylized
bouquet. A contemporary alternative to cascade bouquet,
flowers emanate from the center blossom and trail at
each side.
3.
Handtied
Sophisticated or garden inspired, this bouquet is
perfect for a less formal affair or outdoor wedding. The
show of natural stems lends an air of beautiful
simplicity.
4.
Contemporary/Artistic
For the bride who wants to make a statement, these
bouquets are perfect for a sophisticated, cosmopolitan
style wedding. Inspired by the unconventional, these
contemporary and artistic bouquets can be very
structured or free form in style.
5.
Nosegay
A romantic, traditional bouquet that for centuries has
enjoyed popularity. The nosegay can vary in
sophistication and is therefore perfect for almost any
bride.
6.
Presentation
This bouquet of long stemmed flowers evokes an aura of
pageantry and regality. Elegant blooms are cradled in
the bride’s arms as she makes her debut.
Similar but smaller versions of these bouquets work
equally well for the bridal party. However, you might
want to add more color if you’re planning an all white
bouquet. Keeping the styles similar helps to harmonize
the wedding party.
The boutonniere for the groom usually is a significant
flower from the bride’s bouquet while the goomsmen’s
boutonnieres pair with the bride’s maids bouquets.
