Oooo! Pretty Flowers
(from Brides.com)
Bouquets
Arm bouquet
The look: old-fashioned. Think beauty-pageant winner: Long-stemmed flowers are cradled in the crook of the bride's arm. Best for: retro-themed weddings.
Biedermeier
The look: structured. A round bouquet that features concentric rings of flowers that fan out from the center. Best for: hip, cutting-edge events.
Cascade
The look: free-flowing. Flowers and greenery that spill downward from a base, creating a waterfall effect. Modern cascades have a more compact teardrop shape. Best for: grand, large-scale weddings in a formal setting.
Composite
The look: structured. Petals or buds wired or glued together to create one single bloom. Best for: artistic, creative affairs.
Hand-tied
The look: loose and casual. The stems of flowers are bound with ribbon or raffia instead of being placed in a foam-filled bouquet holder. Best for: casual affairs.
Nosegay
The look: classic. A tightly-packed, round bouquet. Best for: nearly any type of event.
Tussie-mussie
The look: Victorian. A hand-tied bouquet with stems cut to the same length is placed in a silver, cone-shaped holder. Best for: elegant affairs.
Pomander
The look: structured and globe-like. A round ball of flowers is attached to a ribbon loop handle. Best for: romantic weddings.
Posy
The look: similar to a nosegay but smaller. Best for: corsage alternatives for the bride and groom's mothers and grandmothers.
Toss bouquet
Less expensive flowers used solely for the traditional bouquet toss.
