Bridal Bouquet Ideas

Classic Wedding Bouquets

Classic bridal bouquets can be designed to fit many types of weddings, whether simple or elegant. Traditional types of arrangements include:

• Nosegay or round bouquet: This type of arrangement is usually small to medium in size. It is typically designed as a round cluster of flowers with minimal greenery. White or pastel flowers are more classic choices in this type of bouquet.
• Cascading arrangement: Cascading bouquets can be beautiful and dramatic. They are often used in formal weddings and consist of a central arrangement that has flowers aggregating downward to give the appearance of a cascade - and hence the name. Roses and calla lilies are traditional flowers for this type, and moderate greenery is typically used.

Contemporary Bouquets

Vibrant Winter Bouquet

Although today there is a huge range of different contemporary styles and trends for wedding bouquets, including:

• Hand-tied bouquets: Perfect for casual weddings, the hand-tied bouquet looks fresh and beautiful and can be designed in a number of ways.
• Arm bouquets: These lovely arrangements look very elegant and can range from simple florals to more elaborate designs with added greenery.
• Single flower: This modern, minimalist look provides a clear focus on the beautiful bride without sacrificing the floral tradition.
• Pomander ball: This round, floral piece is held by ribbon rather than the traditional stems for a lovely look.
• Teardrops, crescents, and fans: Similar to cascades, these arrangements contain flowers and greenery created in the desired shade. Depending on the size and shape, they may be carried by the affixed stems or as an arm bouquet.

Combining different types of bridal bouquet ideas is also popular for today's brides to come up with an individual arrangement that truly suits their wedding.

Creative Bridal Bouquets

Creative ideas for your bridal bouquet are as limitless as your imagination. You can use exotic blooms, brilliant colors, or even use faux flowers of wood, crystal, or paper. For some brides, bouquet alternatives are the answer, and they may not carry flowers at all, but a meaningful object or family heirloom.

Arrangements can use various shades of the same color, complementary colors, or even contrasting colors for a unique and dramatic look.
