We all know that a bridal bouquet completes every bride’s wedding look, so they must carry their own bouquet that complements the design of their favorite dresses.
While it’s crucial to leave the actual style to a talented wedding florist, knowing the many sorts of bridal bouquets, styles, shapes, and sizes will help you better articulate what you’re looking for when you’re ready to walk down the aisle.
Before we get into the varieties of wedding bouquets, here’s a trivia about why brides carry bouquets.
Why do brides carry flowers?
According to multiple media reports, bouquets were more than simply an accessory for ancient Romans, Geeks, and Egyptians; they believed that the aroma of the flowers could ward off bad luck, evil, and even death, much like the boutonniere worn by grooms.
Cascade Bouquet
A bouquet’s teardrop-shaped design, which is broader at the top and tapered towards the bottom, allows flowers and greenery to cascade over your hand and arm like a waterfall, making it a favorite choice for dramatic entrances.
Hand-tied Bouquet
This natural and loose arrangement, also known as a garden bridal bouquet, is handcrafted by the florist, giving it an uneven and rich appearance. It’s a popular choice because of its natural feel.
Round Bouquet
A medium-sized bouquet that is a classic pick for formal weddings, is completely symmetrical and comprises flowers of equal height, all securely wrapped with ribbon for a flawless touch.
Ring form Bouquet
This bouquet style features flowers of the same variety or color clustered together in rings around a large single flower, creating a striped effect. It’s less common but stands out as a unique option.
Composite Bouquet
This bouquet, made from individual petals of several flowers, produces the illusion of an immense bloom on a single stem, known as a “glamelia.” It’s a unique artistic choice that will leave an impression.
Oversized Bouquet
The term “oversized” refers to large, asymmetrical arrangements that expand beyond the primary design, frequently integrating atypical components such as dried grasses and branches for a bohemian vibe.
Pageant Bouquet
This is used less frequently at weddings than in beauty pageants. This long-stemmed bouquet, which is balanced on one arm rather than carried by hand, was inspired by the arrangements given to pageant winners. It’s usually full and decorated with stalk-like blossoms.
Pomander Bouquet
A circular arrangement, which has 360 degrees of flowers, is made easy to handle with a ribbon loop at the top. It’s a ceremony aisle marker as well as a favorite among flower girls.
