With so many choices every brides needs this ultimate wedding bouquet guide.
Your bridal bouquet is an important element of your big day. Brides have been bringing blossoms down the aisle for centuries. This lovely arrangement has the capacity to complete and polish your look for your special day. Not only it define you as the lady of the hour but it will tie you into your big day’s decor. Choosing your own particular bridal bouquet requires significant considerations and is one of the important decisions you’ll have to make.
But where do you even begin? Do you select a couple of your favorite flowers in your favorite shade and then ask your florist to make an arrangement based on your choices? Or do you start by matching with other key floral situations like your arch, or flower walls? While these possibilities are all viable, I’d like to suggest a third option: begin by deciding on the shape of your bouquet. You won’t be able to choose a form unless you have a few crucial elements about your wedding: your wedding gown silhouette (you don’t want a bouquet shape that clashes with your gown), your wedding mood your own style.
Different bouquet shapes denote different wedding styles. A round version, for example, has a classic feel, whereas a free form (like this beauty up here) or dramatic cascade of blossoms has a modern or boho-chic feeling. To assist you in determining which bouquet shape is most appropriate for your occasion and for you I will go through some options.

Hand-tied natural look
In this kind of bouquet, flowers are arranged more loosely to form an organic-looking shape. while the design is technically 360 degrees, there is often a noticeable front and backside. These natural arrangements will appeal to bohemian brides for their casual, earthy aesthetic.

Half Moon
Another floral shape that straddles the traditional and bohemian? The figure of the half-moon. This shape is similar to a horizontal crescent moon. The arrangement is generally held front and center and maybe tight and groomed at the top, cascading somewhat on both sides.

Cascading
Cascading bouquets can vary in length and fullness, and they often work better in a more organic manner (think trailing, vine-like foliage. This kind of bouquet it is usually a bit heavier. Make sure you will commit to it. Your wedding day is a long one and you want to have your bouquet in most pictures. This bouquet can be carried in so many different ways and appear different from every perspective.

Teardrop
Consider the teardrop bouquet to be the precursor of the cascade style. It’s tighter than the cascading one and while it has the trademark slope, it doesn’t culminate in a floor-length sweep of vines and blooms. The top of this shape is round, and the bottom is pointed. It can be arranged tightly for a traditional teardrop shape or loosely for a more organic look.

Nosegay
Not a big fan of huge arrangements to be carried along during the day? Consider a nosegay, which is often small enough to be carried in one hand, if you’re looking for small denty arrangements to carry down the aisle. Another distinguishing feature? Sometimes it’s constructed entirely of one sort of flower-like ranunculus, sweet pea, hyacinth, and musicari bunches to get a traditional look.

Pageant
You carry this bouquet shape in your arm as if you’ve just won a pageant. If you opt to go down the aisle with a pageant bouquet, you’ll want to choose dramatic blooms like orchids, gloriosa lilies, peonies, or dahlias. Sweet peas.
Round
A circular bouquet, like this one, should imply a huge ball of blooms, and its 360-degree structure eliminates the need for a front and back (it’s stunning from any perspective!). If you’re thinking about using only one sort of flower life roses or peonies can be incredibly effective and stylish.
Loop
This is quite modern and trendy. The loop can be in metal or made of twines. The bride carries this down the aisle with both hands or on her arm.
Once you decide what shape is the perfect fit for you… practice!!! I still see a lot of brides grabbing their bouquet and keeping it under their nose or walking with their bouquet up on one side while they look down to their step. So based on your bouquet style stand in front of the mirror and see the best way to carry your bouquet.
So tell me, what is the shape that intrigues you the most?
