Style of Bouquet

(for bride, bridesmaids and flower girls)

Trailing/Cascade

Full, round, posy that informally trails below, down the dress.

Teardrop

Similar to cascading/trailing bouquet but with a more formal and and reﬁned ﬁnishing point at the bottom of the bouquet.

Posies

Formal, round, short stemmed bouquet, simple, tidy and compact, usually using fewer ﬂower varieties. Informal, round short stemmed bouquet, a little more unstructured and casual, tending to incorporate more texture and variety.

Arm sheath

Usually a longer and streamlined bouquet that can be cradled in the arm or held on an angle downwards, across the dress.

Flower girls could also have the option of baskets ﬁlled with an arrangement of ﬂowers or simply rose petals.
