Today's
wedding bouquets are more personal than ever, running the gamut from
classic all-white formal arrangements to unique designs featuring
brightly colored flowers. Below are some of the styles
available. Remember that these pictures are only one sample of each
style. Our wedding specialists will be able to show you many other
sample pictures at your private consultation that will help you to
choose a bouquet style, colors and varieties of flowers that will
express your individual preferences.

Nosegays
- round clusters of flowers - are a very trendy style of
bridal bouquet. Also called a tussie mussie, this style
of bouquet dates back to the 14th century,
when it was used to mask unpleasant odors - thus the
term "nosegay." Nosegays can vary in
sophistication and are therefore a good choice for any
wedding.

Cascade
bouquets feature
flowers that descend below the main portion of the
bouquet design. The voluptuousness of the bouquet is often
the main feature of the wedding costume. Cascade
bouquets are most often used in formal and traditional
weddings. |

Florists
create hand-tied bouquets by placing the stems of
the flowers, foliage and accessories in their hand and
wrapping them around the center of the design until they
are securely fastened. These arrangements are designed
to show the natural growth of the stems, which are often
wrapped in ribbon or French braided together. Hand-tied
bouquets have a more casual air and are particularly
nice for garden weddings and brides who like the feeling
of an unarranged gathering of flowers. |

Contemporary
bouquets are
inspired by unconventional ideas, styles and patterns
and are designed with no specific geometric form. They
are usually created with flowers that have definite form
and add character to a bouquet (such as calla lilies,
orchids and anthuriums). Contemporary bouquets represent
the individuality of the bride and are perfect for a
sophisticated, cosmopolitan style wedding. They're
simplistic but have the added grace of asymmetrical
design. |

Crescent
bouquets have a gentle, curved line that is great for
complimenting a slim waist and hips. They are a great
choice for the bride who wants a small, unusual bouquet
but with more structure than a hand-tied bouquet. |
|
| Over-the-arm
bouquets resemble the casual, more natural, look of
hand-tied bouquets but are designed to be cradled in the
arms or, more recently, upside-down against the skirt of
the gown. They're perfect for the bride who likes the
natural look of exposed stems, but wants something a
little larger and more unusual than the hand-tied
bouquet. Over-the-arm bouquets work best with sleeveless
gowns when held cradled in the arm. |
