The tradition of the bridal bouquet comes from the days of our ancestors. It is said that having flowers at the wedding would pave the road ahead of the young couple with happiness and health. In addition, the tradition of tossing the bouquet to one of the young girls at the ceremony would uncover whose wedding is next.

The bridal bouquet is very important and it can be very difficult to choose a bouquet that will be perfect for the young bride. Fortunately, these days bouquets making is a state of the art business. Talented people’s imagination has no boundaries and florists can prove to be real artists when it comes to bridal bouquets.

For any taste, there is a corresponding bouquet. There are different styles of bridal bouquets. The most popular are the cascade style, nosegay style, arm bouquet, hand-tied style, pomander, biedermeier style, spray bouquet, strauss etc.

The cascade bouquet can be a cascade of additional beauty to the beauty of the bride. This is a large tear shaped floral arrangement suitable for tall women. The flowers are arranged downward forming a cascade resembling a teardrop. The spaces between the flowers are filled with ferns, green leafs or ribbons in order to give it the desired shape.

The nosegay style is very popular. Flowers with long stems are disposed circular, symmetrical in the bouquet and tied together with a wide ribbon. Generally, the ribbon is white or it matches the color of the bride’s dress. This gives a nice effect: from a certain distance, the flowers seem to have no stems and it provides a good grip to the bride.

The arm bouquet is also very popular. It is a bouquet made out of big flowers with large cups. The arm bouquet is cradled on one arm just like a baby. It is probably the most elegant and special bouquet style. Maybe I am saying this because it is one of my favorites, I do not know, I let you be the judge of that.

The hand tied bouquet is very elegant and classic. It wears something of the first bridal bouquet ever made. Fresh flowers with long stems tied together with a simple ribbon. The simplicity of this bouquet does not affect at all its beauty. Though simple, the hand tied bouquet is one of the most beautiful and popular bridal bouquet styles.

The bridal pomander is simply a beautiful ball of flowers. All flowers stick together in a spherical shape. The pomander style bouquet is very easy to carry thanks to its ribbons. The ribbons are tied to the bride’s wrist and the bouquet is left hanging on her delicate hand.

It is your decision what style suits you better. For your information, note that these are only some of the bridal bouquet styles out there. These styles combined will create something unique and distinctive. The flowers chosen for the bouquet are very important as well. Please notice that not all flowers are suitable for every bouquet style. You can also choose an artificial silk bouquet for a larger variety of styles. The florist will give all the further advice you need to make everything perfect.

No matter what religion you are or where you live, the bridal bouquet is something you certainly heard of; it is a tradition that has been kept from generation to generation. People don’t always choose a bouquet which is suitable for them and that can interfere with their look and the whole arrangement; a bouquet which is too little will not be visible and a bouquet which is too large will cover the bride and her beautiful dress.

Of course, you can choose any bridal bouquet size because what you think counts the most but don’t exaggerate and don’t make it too showy. When you will prepare your wedding expect all your friends and family to come and give you advice, but never buy something because they advice you to, buy it because you want it and you like it.

There are some tips in choosing bridal bouquet sizes that take into account your figure and your size, because some women choose their bridal bouquet without taking these aspects in consideration and they risk looking ridiculous.

If you are a tall girl you should definitely choose a large bouquet or a medium one preferably with a teardrop form. They will draw people’s attention from your stature and focus it on your dress and how beautiful you are.

If you are petite don’t go overboard with the bouquet size, it will cover you and your beautiful dress, instead choose a bouquet which suits your stature like a tear medium sized bouquet

If you are a little too large I advice you NEVER choose a small bouquet because it will make you even larger; small bouquets and a large stature will be too opposite and the difference between them will make the bride look bigger than normal. A perfect option for this type of stature is a very large tear form bouquet. You won’t look ridiculous with it and it will make you look slimmer.

Although large beautiful bouquets with beautiful colors and designs are amazing, avoid a bouquet that is too large or too beautiful because you want to draw attention to you not the bouquet.

You can ask the florist to make a custom bouquet just for you if you do not like the ones that are displayed in their catalog, so don’t panic if you can’t find anything that you want.

Your bridal bouquet can also transmit a message through the colors and size, for example if you have a large bouquet with red roses it will mean that your love is big and true. On the other hand, if you have a bouquet with white and blue roses it will mean that your love is pure and young.

No matter how big or small your bridal bouquet size is no matter which colors you choose the important thing is to feel happy on your wedding day and try to make it unique. Another thing you can do is to preserve your bridal bouquet so that you can remember your wedding day whenever you look at it.

Nowadays people put a lot of accent on originality and expressing the way you feel and the way you are. Therefore, when it comes to bridal bouquet design the market has a big variety of models and patterns to match every taste. In the modern world, even the bridal bouquet must express the bride’s personality.

The bridal bouquet had lot of forms since the beginning of our time: at first, it was just a bunch of freshly picked flowers and then it began getting much attention. Nowadays the bridal bouquet is the centerpiece of the ceremony because it is a part of the bride.

The bridal bouquet can come in thousand of forms but there are four main bridal bouquet designs: the round shaped, cascade, hand tied and custom.

The round shaped bouquet is the classic choice. You can’t fail if you choose this bouquet even if you are wearing a formal or a less formal dress. This type of bouquet is believed to have been the first bouquet design and it seems to have appeared around the 13th or 14th century. The formal or informal aspect of the round shaped bouquet depends mostly on the flowers that are choosen; for example if you choose roses, it will have a classic and formal look, but if you choose tulips or lilies, the bouquet’s aspect will be more original and trendy.

Cascade bouquets have an amazing effect on a more elegant dress. The cascade bouquet has flowers with longer stems that fall in the lower part of the bouquet creating a very interesting cascade effect. Although this bouquet can be a perfect choice for any bride, some brides should avoid it if they are going to wear a short sexy dress because it will cover the lower part of the body and the dress will lose the effect.

Another interesting bridal bouquet design is the hand tied design. Although most women prefer to have a classic bouquet, the hand tied bouquet is winning popularity. These bouquets are a perfect touch for a modern wedding gown especially when their design is more exotic or trendy. The florists tie the bouquet by hand which gives it a more careless look, perfect for modern people.

Custom bouquets are created after the client’s own pattern and choices. They are usually inspired from movies, different color themes and need a lot of imagination. They don’t have a regular form or a certain arrangement. Although many people do not agree with modern dresses made from unusual materials or strange colors, a lot of young women choose to wear dresses like that and add a custom made bouquet.

All these bouquets have different styles themselves so just ask the florist to show you some photos of one of these main designs and you will find out that there are more than just four designs.

It really doesn’t matter which bridal bouquet design you are going to choose as long as you are happy with it and it makes you feel beautiful so if you really wish for a strange bouquet and a classic dress go for it even if they don’t match; all that matters is the bride’s happiness on her wedding day.
