The Bride’s Guide to 6 Popular Types of Wedding Bouquet Styles

Everyone knows that the bride’s appearance is one of the most exciting moments of a wedding. All eyes are on her, everyone is waiting for the dazzling appearance and the radiant smile of the happy woman.

So that the little companion, your bridal bouquet, makes you shine even more beautiful when you walk down the aisle, it should of course perfectly match your wedding dress and harmonize with it. The choice of a bouquet is not something you should rush. Do not choose the first one you have seen on Flowwow or your florist suggested.

How do you choose a wedding bouquet for the ceremony?

Even if it sounds strange, your own body shape plays an important role in the choice of the bridal bouquet. The importance of the bouquet is often underestimated, which is why few thoughts are invested in the right shape and size. However, the flowers should not only perfectly match your style, but also your body shape, so that it enhances your beauty.

For example, women with a narrow waist, and bust/hip area of about the same width should go for an empire or mermaid-style dress, as these cuts particularly accentuate their curves. The cascade bouquet suit this figure type perfectly.

Also, every bride should find a bridal bouquet that fits her personal style:

• As a traditional bride, you will naturally choose the classic wedding bouquet. Its round shape will harmonize perfectly with you and the style of your wedding.
• The cascade bouquet is perfect for romantic brides. The flowing length of the bouquet harmonizes perfectly with your romantic dreaminess.
• The boho bride can have a wild (eco) bouquet. Seasonal flowers in your hand and hair will make you look unique.

So, the choice of bouquet depends on the type of bride and the wedding theme.

What are the different types of bouquets?

Now it is time to look at the actual bouquet types that you can get for your wedding in a bit more detail.

1. Cascade Bouquet

A cascade bridal bouquet is a round bouquet from which further flowers, leaves, and grass are arranged flowing downwards. The length of the bouquet has many facets and can be variably adapted to the bride and the dress. It is also important to hold such a bouquet in your hand to find out whether you want to wear it for a few hours.

The cascading flowers and leaves surround the wedding dress very beautifully, which is why such a bouquet is suitable for all wedding dresses except short ones.

2. Posy Bouquet

These small bridal bouquets worn upright are just as popular, especially in the boho or vintage style. The advantage of this bridal bouquet shape is that you don’t need a lot of flowers to create a beautiful bouquet and it is really quick and easy to tie.

Posy bouquet looks particularly good with slim-fitting and short wedding dresses.

3. Hand-Tied Bouquet

Such a bouquet can include a wide variety of flowers and greenery. As the name implies, the flowers are tied using simple ribbon, fabric, or twine (other styles of bouquets most often use wire for precise fixation). Such a bouquet will bring with it a sense of simplicity and is perfect for an informal or rustic wedding.

Hand-tied bouquets can fit any wedding dress and style.

4. Round Bouquet

A round bouquet is something absolutely special – all blossoms are arranged in a finely tuned ball. However, each flower must have enough space to develop, and that’s what makes a bouquet of balls an absolute masterpiece.

Goes perfectly with pant suit, a line wedding dress, a slim-fitting wedding dress, and a short wedding dress.

5. Nosegay Bouquet

If you liked the concept of a posy bouquet but would like to have more greenery in it, then a nosegay bouquet is for you. It is also small, can easily fit in one hand, and looks simply stunning with short or slim-fitting dresses.

6. Pomander Bouquet

Pomander is a ball-shaped bouquet that can be carried by a bride on her wrist or used as an accessory for bridesmaids, a decorative element of the wedding ceremony, or as a centerpiece on the table.

Pomander bridal bouquets look particularly wonderful with narrow-cut wedding dresses.
