Bridal Bouquet Flowers: Familiarizing Yourself With Wedding Flowers
For many brides, choosing the perfect wedding and bridal bouquet flowers is a stressful experience. It can be intimidating to try to explain your vision of your wedding and bridal bouquet flowers to a knowledgeable professional, especially when they start talking about cascades and crescents and stephanotis and fillers.
The wedding flower arrangements and bridal bouquet are such a big part of the wedding decor that you want to get them just right, so you DO want the input of your florist - but it's your wedding, and the flowers should reflect that as much as everything else about your wedding day does.
One of the best things you can do for yourself before making an appointment with a florist is to spend a little time familiarizing yourself with the flowers that are most often used as a wedding flower and with styles of bridal bouquets. Here's a quick primer of things you should know that might make that talk with your florist less stressful and more enjoyable - because choosing your wedding and bridal bouquet flowers should be a joy.
Bridal Bouquet Flowers Primer
Some flowers have become synonymous with 'wedding flower' over the years. Some of them are familiar to everyone - white roses, for instance. Others that have become popular as a wedding flower, bridal bouquet flower or wedding reception staple aren't as well known because they seldom show up in other types of arrangements. This is a list of those with descriptions. You can easily find photographs of any on the internet.
Stephanotis Bridal Bouquet Flower
A very popular wedding flower, bridal bouquets often include stephanotis for its beautiful waxy white flowers and glossy leaves. Since it's a vine with flowers growing along it, stephanotis is often used as the 'cascade' part of a cascade bridal bouquet.
White Poms Bridal Bouquet Flower
White poms are an all-purpose wedding flower with feathery petals in a fluffy ball. They're often used in tightly clustered arrangements to provide a solid background of white that sets off other bridal bouquet flowers.
Dendrobium Orchids Bridal Bouquet Flower
Delicate orchids from tropical rain forests, dendrobium orchids come in many colors, but the white are commonly chosen as a wedding flower. Besides being used as bridal bouquet flowers, loose single dendrobium orchids are often carried in a flower girl's basket and scattered on the aisle.
White Anthurium Bridal Bouquet Flower
Technically not a flower, white anthurium has a single, large heart shaped flower. The white variety has a papery, translucent appearance, and is often used as a dramatic accent in wedding flower arrangements and bridal bouquets.
Wedding Flower and Bridal Bouquet Styles
Cascade Bridal Bouquet
The Cascade bridal bouquet style has been the most popular for some years now. It has a graceful spill of flowers that lead the eye downward, and often to one side.
Nosegay Bridal Bouquet
Also known as a tussie mussie, the nosegay bridal bouquet has been a wedding flower staple since Victorian days. It's a tightly clustered round arrangement of flowers with the stems wrapped tightly to form a 'handle' to hold the bouquet.
Crescent Bridal Bouquet
A crescent shaped bridal bouquet is often designed to nestle into the crook of one arm and spill in a graceful arrangement that curves against the front of the dress. One very popular variation is an arm bouquet of ribbon-tied long-stemmed flowers like roses or calla lilies.
