PICK OF THE BUNCH

The endless list of flowers you can choose from aside, what about the different bouquets? Here’s a quick rundown:

-

CASCADE HAND-TIED POSY ROUND PAGEANT

These bouquets are small and dainty enough to be held in one hand. A great option for brides who want to trim some dollars from their budget or who simply want their wedding gown to take centre stage. Also known as the arm sheaf, the pageant bouquet generally consists of flowers and greenery with long, slender stems to rest in the crook of your arm. It’s another option for brides who are looking to wow. The most traditiona­l and classic shape to choose from, a round bouquet usually consists of just one or two pretty and widebloomi­ng flowers such as peonies or roses, which are then tightly packed together. If you want to make a statement, you can’t look past an overflowin­g cascade bouquet. This bouquet is arranged as a pretty bunch at the top, with loose greenery and flowers flowing dramatical­ly towards the floor. Perhaps one of the most popular bouquet styles right now, a hand-tied bouquet is arranged loosely to look natural and unstructur­ed, styled to look as if the blooms have just been gathered from a nearby field.
