Wedding Bouquets come in a variety of shapes or styles. It can often be confusing to sort them all out, and decide exactly what type of Bouquet you are looking for. The below descriptions cover the most common styles. |
 Cascade Bouquet.
Also called a Waterfall Bouquet. This Bouquet style is in the shape of a teardrop or a loose triangle. In general, it is slightly rounded at the top and falls to a point. This Bouquet has become quite popular in recent years. |
|
 Hand-tied Bouquet.
Sometimes, you will find roses, but you are just as likely to find other flowers. This Bouquet is tied with a ribbon. The ribbon is occasionally decorated with notions such as pearl accents. It can be loosely tied or tightly tied, depending on the look you prefer. Sometimes called a Clutch Bouquet.
|
 Round Bouquet.
As the name suggests, this Bouquet is circular in shape. It is filled with mostly Florals, but can also contain greenery. This condensed Bouquet holds a large number of flowers in a compact space. The Bouquet holder may or may not have a lace or netting trim surrounding it. |
 Nosegay.
In general, Nosegays follow the same shape as a round Bouquet. They are usually smaller, and sometimes include the addition of ribbon streamers. They are not as dense as a round Bouquet, and may include more greenery. As a result of their smaller size, Nosegay Bouquets tend to show more trim from the Bouquet holder as well. These Bouquets are a popular choice for the smaller Bridesmaid Bouquets or for Flower girl Bouquets. Also referred to as a Posy. |
 Tussie Mussie.
A Tussie Mussie (tussy mussy) is probably one of the most useful wedding accessories for your Bouquets. Slipping the stems into the Tussie Mussie leaves a beautiful handle that provides a comfortable feel and ease to hold. The flowers generally are 'garden' flowers, or 'hand picked.' Many Tussie Mussies are available with stands so you may use it and your bouquet to accent your bridal or cake table at the reception. There are a wide selection of Tussie Mussies for Bouquets, and even for Boutonnieres and Corsages. |
Biedermeier Bouquet.
A small nosegay with concentric circles of flowers within flowers or colors within colors. |
Heart Bouquet.
Heart Bouquets consist of flowers making up two rounded tops and coming down to a point. Roses and Daisies are popular choices for this style. The extra space is generally filled in with gypsum or baby’s breath. The effect is that of a heart shape. |
Crescent Bouquet.
This Bouquet features an arching form, with flowers extending out from the center of the Bouquet. Lilies and Stargazers are a popular choice. |
 Freeform Bouquet.
This Bouquet often has no discernible shape. As the name implies, this style covers a looser Bouquet that often has flowers or greenery coming out at various angles. Spray Bouquets are an example of this style, as they generally "spray" in different directions. |
 Arm Bouquet.
A Bouquet which is designed to be held in the crook of the arm. Consists of long-stemmed flowers, Roses and Calla Lilies are the most popular. A loosely tied ribbon or bow is sometimes used to keep the Bouquet together. Also called a Presentation or Sheaf Bouquet. |
Composite Bouquet.
The conglomeration of several of the same flowers to create a "one large" flower. Carnations are a favorite for this style. You may hold this like a Nosegay, or an Arm Bouquet, depending on it's length. |
Single Stem.
While this is a very simple and elegant look, it is not technically a Bouquet as it consists of only one flower. The Calla Lily is the most popular. A long stemmed Rose is occasionally used instead. This stem is used in the same manner as the Arm Bouquet. |
 Pomander.
A ball of flowers suspended from the wrist by decorative ribbons. Also referred to as a Kissing Ball. |
Specialty Bouquets.
Corsages designed for Bibles, Baskets, Fans, Parasols, Purses, Hats and Candles. |
