Bridal Bouquets
There are many different styles of bridal bouquets from traditional to funky. Brides are becoming more aware of flower trends and we are happy to work with any special requests for designer bouquets. To get you started here is a list of some of the more popular styles of bridal bouquets:

Shower bouquet - this is a cascading/waterfall style bouquet, which compliments tall brides, long trains and fuller figures as it draws the eye down. It tends to be a more traditional and fuller style bouquet, however it can be given a modern twist through the use of unusual flowers and foliages.

Hand-tied bouquet - this is by far one of the most popular styles of bridal bouquets at the moment, a hand-tied bouquet, which can be tailored to your individual theme and style. We can provide a more traditional rose bouquet or a natural country style hand tie, or a modern, striking bouquet with vibrant colours and exotic flowers. This style is usually tied off with ribbon and decorative pins to match your colour theme. Hand-tied bouquets compliment any bride or dress as it can be tailored to your size and theme.

Wired/Hand-tied posies - this is a more traditional hand-tied/wired arrangement, usually in a perfectly round dome shape, compliments petite brides and shorter dresses, often used for bridesmaids.

Over arm bouquets - a modern and contemporary style of bouquet often with Calla lilies integrated into the design. This style of bouquet is held over the arm and flows down over the elbow, it can also be held down by the side. These elegant and minimalist bouquets suit slim figures, contemporary style dresses, and dresses with more detail.

Things to consider before meeting your wedding florist

3. What style of bouquet you feel would best suit your theme? i.e. contemporary, traditional, classic, natural, country, gothic, minimalist, exotic, bright & funky, vintage, seasonal.

4. What type of accessories you are having i.e. gerbera_table_centre_192 pearls/diamantes/silver/gold?

5. What other flower requirements you may have for the day, for the venue and any thank you gifts.

6. It’s a good idea to start collecting colour swatches, images of bouquets you like, photos of flowers and foliages, and get as many ideas together as you can to show your florist.

7. What time of year you are getting married and seasonal availability of flowers, do you want the season to be reflected in your wedding flowers? (We can advise on seasonal availability of flowers at your consultation.)
