Styles of Wedding Bouquet

Trailing bouquet:

Trailing designs look great if you are tall as they help to draw the eye downwards. They are gorgeous with A-line or princess skirts and long flowing trains. This style looks stunning when created with just one type of flower such as white or fuchsia phalaenopsis orchids which trail naturally.

Shower bouquet:

Choose a shower bouquet if you want an unstructured, traditional look, if you are tall with a fuller figure or if you plan to wear a full-skirted gown.  They also compliment dresses with trains.  Use a few round headed blooms such as roses as the focal flower and surround with delicate, long stemmed varieties such as freesias or Singapore orchids. Include plenty of foliage, long grasses and trailing ivy.

Pomander:

This pretty, spherical floral design with ribbon handle suits petite figures, short or calf-length skirts, 1950's style halter neck dresses and dresses with intricate detailing around the waist. A lovely choice if you want to show off your dress and keep one hand free, pomanders look best created from one type of flower such as tightly packed spray-rose heads.

Over-arm:

Designed to lie along your arm and cascade down from elbow to wrist, this simple, modern style looks great if you have a slim figure; with a dress with lots of detail or teamed with a long, slinky dress. Think long-stemmed roses, dramatic calla lilies or exotic cymbidium orchid stems teamed with a few oval-shaped leaves and long grasses.
