Styles Of Bridal Bouquets

There are several types or styles of bridal bouquets that you could choose from when planning your wedding. It is important that you choose a style that compliments the design of your dress.

The round bouquet is very popular and is preferred by many brides. There are many options of flowers that can be used in this design. Depending on your budget and your body type, you may choose a posy bouquet which is smaller and can be held in one hand making it easier to walk down the aisle on your fathers arm. The stems could be partially wrapped or fully wrapped with satin ribbon and have beautiful embellishments of pearls or gems.



I love the design of the biedermeier bouquet. The flowers are arranged in a circular ring pattern. Each ring may contain a different colour and type of flower. This combination is very striking.


The arm sheaf bouquet is generally composed of long stem flowers such as calla lilies or orchids. The bride rests the bouquet in the crook of her arm leaving her other hand free. Ribbon can be tied to secure the stems in place.


The cascading bouquet is generally round with a shower of flowers dropping down in the front. Different styles of flowers can be used to create the pointed effect.


A Pomander bouquet is a flower ball with a ribbon handle usually carried by flowers girls. They have become very popular in recent years. Decorators use them often as pew decorations.


Freeform bouquets are fun and original. They don’t follow any design rules. The flowers fall whichever way they wish. Wild flowers would be a perfect example of a freeform arrangement because they don’t hold to any particular shape.


The heart bouquet makes quite the romantic statement at any wedding, but it's not always easy to accomplish. Usually made of roses the flowers are actually two bouquets that are arched together forming the heart.
