The colour and the bouquet style will depend on the type of look you want to create for your wedding. Here are a few styles that are available to help you decide what bouquet will be best for you.
Classic hand-tied This design is one of the most popular styles and will be either hand-tied or wired. Wired bouquets are easier to hold, as the stems are slimmer, but are also generally more expensive as they take longer to create. Hand-tied bouquets can often sit in water if the stems are free, which makes them ideal for decorating a vase at the reception. The hand-tied suits most dress shapes, although petite brides and those wearing slim-fitting dresses should avoid a large bouquet.
The teardrop Exactly as it sounds – the teardrop bouquet looks like an inverted teardrop it has a posy top and gradually trails to a point at the base. The teardrop works well with most styles of dress as it is not too heavy and the gradual tapering makes it a flattering shape. This style is ideal for a traditional dress shape like an A-line design.
The shower Similar to a teardrop, the shower bouquet is one of the most traditional styles is generally larger and instead of trailing to a point, trails down to a single flower. This style can be made to suit any length of dress but is ideal for taller brides.
The posy A posy is a smaller version hand-tied, often used for bridesmaids or flower girls. It is also ideal for bride is wearing a simple, straight dress who does not want anything too heavy or overpowering. Over-armThe over-arm bouquet is a gathering of long stemmed flowers that rest naturally across the inner bend of the elbow. This style of bouquet completements a long slinky gown
