But what types of bridal bouquets are there?
The bridal bouquet is intended to emphasize the beauty of the bride on the wedding day . For this purpose, it is important to know which shapes suit the dress and personality.
Spherical shape: It is the absolute classic. This type of bouquet can be either tied or pinned. The plugged variant provides the flowers with enough water so that they do not dry out. The disadvantage of this plug-in shape is that the flowers can fall out when the bridal bouquet is thrown. In this respect, the tied bouquet has a greater advantage, as the stems are tied very closely together. Due to the spherical flower arrangement, the bouquet looks very elegant and goes with any dress.
Waterfall & Drops: As the name suggests, wire is used to arrange the flowers and greenery to create a floral waterfall. These bridal bouquets are a special eye-catcher due to their flowing shape and go well with tall, voluptuous women and long, elegant dresses with trains.
Vintage: This variant is one of the modern types of bridal bouquet and is very playful. For this purpose, the flowers are loosely tied to each other so that each flower works on its own. However, this shape should be treated with caution, not every wedding dress fits such a bouquet.
Bouquet of arms: As with the scepter bouquet, long-stemmed flowers are used for this. The difference is that it is not carried in the hand like all other bridal bouquets, but is laid on the arm in a relaxed manner. Due to the small number of up to seven expressive flowers, this bouquet looks particularly exclusive and harmonizes very well with short dresses and trouser suits.
Glamelia: The glamelia is just the thing for self-confident, strong women. Very few florists dare to approach such a work of art. Here, the flowers are arranged in such a way that a top-class floral masterpiece is created. Due to the elaborate work that is associated with this plug-in shape, this bouquet is to be regarded as a great special feature and therefore also very expensive. The glamelia is therefore rarely worn and usually at more exclusive weddings .
Bracelet bouquet: In this practical alternative, flowers are tied in the form of a bracelet and allow the bride to never let her bridal bouquet out of her hands.
Flower Pouch: Another alternative to the typical bridal bouquet is a small bag decorated with flowers. However, you should make sure that not only the flowers but also the bag match the wedding dress. This variant goes very well with trendy, girly brides.
How will my bridal bouquet be decorated?
The shape alone is not enough, the bouquet should also be appropriately decorated.
The stem of the bridal bouquet can be tied with different ribbons such as lace, satin or cord and decorated with pearls, crystals or brooches. The ribbon should match the dress and the jewelry should match the necklace and hair accessories. For a delicate dress, it is recommended to tie the stems completely, as the risk of getting caught on the top of the dress would be too great.
A little tip: If there is some lace left over from the tailoring of the wedding dress, it can be tied to the bridal bouquet et voilá the difficult decision in the choice of ribbon has been settled.
What else needs to be considered?
Match your bridal bouquet to the style of your wedding party, the flowers in the church, the car decorations and, of course, the boutonniere. Choose a florist who offers flowers of the highest quality, after all, the bouquet should look just as enchanting at the end of the evening as it did at the beginning. Take a photo of yourself in your wedding dress so the florist can match the style and color of your dress. And also ask for a throwing bouquet if you don’t want to give up your bridal bouquet for the bridal bouquet toss.
If you follow these tips, you can be sure that your bridesmaids will jump higher than ever before.
