Select The Wedding Bouquet Type That's Right For Your Wedding

Small details like flowers and wedding bouquet types are important in achieving the overall look and feel of your dream wedding. Depending on the season, there are different flower types, colors, and styles that one could go with when in search of the perfect wedding bouquet type.

When you are looking for a classic feel or are in need of something more elegant, you might want to select a cascade-style bouquet to compliment your wedding theme. This wedding bouquet design is most effective when using white flowers (lilies, orchids, etc.) against a bed of green flowers. This bouquet usually contains a great deal of flowers, so it happens to be one of the more expensive wedding bouquet types.

If done professionally, the cascade type wedding bouquet is easy to incorporate into a wedding; often times the flowers they contain are as pleasant in odor as they are to the eye. The design is called "cascade" because it resembles a cascade of water or a waterfall. Also, depending on the feel you are going for you can use bright, large flowers such as poinsettias or calla lilies.

Another alternative for the more formal wedding is the nosegay bouquet type. The nosegay also works well for the wedding with a Victorian theme, a smaller bride, or the bride with a shorter dress, adding a softer, more romantic touch. The nosegay wedding bouquet design is simply a small, round cluster of flowers encircled in leaves, and tied up with a ribbon, similar to the less formal hand-tied bouquet.

One of the best things about this wedding bouquet design is that not only is it eye appealing, but it's simple, and it will survive the bouquet toss better than any other wedding bouquet type out there (although you might want to bring a spare for that just in case). Roses, lavender, hydrangea and peony flowers work extremely well for this type of bouquet.

For spring weddings or casual beach weddings, you might want to try the flirty hand-tied bouquet. You can ask your florist to do this for you, but professional help shouldn't be necessary. This wedding bouquet design gives you so much flexibility when it comes to the type of flowers and the amount of greenery that can remain in the bunch.

It is best to order your flowers with extra long stems. You can trim them as necessary, but the longer-stemmed look adds to the appeal of the hand-tied wedding bouquet. Simply arrange the long-stemmed buds with complimentary greenery or foliage as necessary, and wrap a ribbon around the bottom for a casual, yet elegant appeal.

For the wedding with a more antique theme, the scepter type of wedding bouquet is also an option. Although a bit more complicated to make at home and costly at the florist shop, scepter bouquets are a stunning compliment to more old-fashioned wedding dresses. If you want to try making your own wedding bouquet of this type, taking care to keep the stems long, arrange your bouquet and wrap paper around the bottom, then wind a ribbon around the bottom of your bouquet to complete the look.
