5 Bouquet Styles You Can Carry On Your Wedding Day

Flowers are beautiful, colorful, fragrant, and can even communicate words of love and devotion. Brides have been carrying bouquets of fragrant flowers since at least the 15th century, if not longer. Not only does a busy bride have to choose what types of flowers to put inside her bouquet, but you also need to decide which bouquet style will go best with your flowers and style. Before you get married at the best wedding venue in Colorado Springs, take a look at this list of bouquet styles, and see if you can find one that suits your wedding the best.

Round

This simple, elegant, and traditional style can be designed as a tight cluster for density or loosely for an airy feel. It works well with all wedding and dress styles, so if you don't know what to choose, you can't go wrong with a round style. The flowers you select will influence the formality of your bouquet, so you'll want to discuss this with your florist first.

Pageant

This is also known as the "arm sheath" bouquet because the long stemmed flowers and foliage are cradled in your arm. This style can be as modest or elaborately designed as you would like. This can be a beautifully stunning alternative if you'll be having a more modern wedding. Popular floral choices include calla lilies, gladiolus, orchids, long-stemmed roses, delphiniums, and larkspur.

Cascade

The late Princess Diana carried this style as her impressive and beautiful bouquet. It can also be referred to as a "shower bouquet." It is the most formal and traditional style a bride can choose, it's designed to spill gracefully over the bride's hands as it flows downward for a very sophisticated look.

Nosegay

This bouquet features a compact cluster of flowers, where the stems are wrapped tightly, often with organza or satin ribbon, and cut to one uniform length. These bouquets also traditionally have more greenery than others. It can be a very trendy style for brides, and is also popular for bridesmaids in a smaller arrangement.

Posy

A small and round bouquet that can easily be held in one hand. This bouquet is often chosen because you can display a wider variety of flower types, with rich color and interest. It can be constructed loosely with coordinating ribbon and an embellished trim. Roses, gerberas, peonies, tulips, and ranunculus are all beautiful options for this style.

Pomander

Also referred to as the "kissing ball" for the "ball" of many blossoms that are suspended from a loop of decorative ribbon. This can create a more interesting way of displaying ordinary or less expensive flowers than a traditional bouquet, and it also a great style for flower girls!
