Wedding Bouquets: Three Types
The bouquet is a central element of any bride’s outfit. Whether she has chosen a classic princess-style dress, or a more contemporary and relaxed look, the bride’s bouquet will add the all-important final touch. Before going to the florist, brides-to-be should have some idea of the type or types of bouquet they wish to utilize on their big day. Here is a list of types of bouquet designed to guide couples in the decision.
Cascade Wedding Bouquets
This type of bouquet features a large cluster of flowers in a semi-circular shape, which then trail downwards. Often the cascade trail shows the flower stems, and can include greenery, acorns and berries so they’re great if you want a more natural, wild looking arrangement. Oriental lilies, roses and carnations particularly suit this bouquet type. Cascades tend to be the most eye-catching kind of wedding bouquet, so it’s wise to match them with wedding dresses that are simply decorated. Be aware that the cascade bouquet can become very heavy during the course of a long ceremony, and unlike other more traditional bouquets, it must be held with two hands.
Biedermeier and Ballerina Bouquets
Biedermeier bouquets have a round shape and are made up of rings of flowers that are contrasting colours. Ballerina bouquets are usually comprised of flowers of any colour, but it has a tulle or fabric skirting that frames the arrangement. These two styles of bouquet tend to be grouped because they’re quite old, but both are coming back into fashion as an unusual and so striking choice. Those brides who are interested in using only one main colour for their wedding bouquets shouldn’t go for a Beidermeier bouquet. Bear in mind too, that the ballerina bouquet isn’t really appropriate for formal weddings; it’s better for the more laid-back, and fun kind.
Posy and Nosegay Bouquets
Posy and Nosegays bouquets are most suitable for those brides who have chosen a classic style white wedding dress. The most traditional type of bouquet, both posy and nosegay bouquets have a round shape with wrapped, tied or wired stems. They look best as bunches of roses or lilies. Nosegays typically contain greenery or herbs, whereas posy bouquets are comprised solely of flowers. Helpfully, because of their simple shape, it’s easy to reproduce the same posy or nosegay bouquets in different sizes, so they’re a wise choice for those brides who want their bridesmaids to have smaller, matching arrangements.
