Pink Weddings Guide

Archive for the ‘Pink Wedding Bouquets’ Category

More than just an accessory, the bouquet is an essential part of the wedding. It not only accents the dresses, it brings femininity, glamor and elegance to the ensemble. Pink wedding bouquets are an essential component of the entire wedding party, bride and bridesmaids alike.

Choosing your bouquet is a difficult endeavor. There are many different styles and choosing the pink wedding flowers, and their accompanying pieces, takes time. It may actually be difficult to choose between all the beautiful styles and designs. Part of the decision will be the budget, of course, but the other part may be strictly what is visually appealing (and affordable). So what are the choices?

The posy is the most popular form of bouquet. It’s the one that is most associated with wedding bouquets. The posy is a round bouquet with the flowers arranged in a dome shape. The flowers are tightly compact and sometimes have a mix of floral pieces between the flowers. Generally the bouquet is smaller.

The nosegay is a basic gathering of flowers, loose or tight. It’s larger than a posy, but usually has a bigger assortment of flowers and pieces (ribbons, baby’s breath etc).

The pomander is my personal favorite. It’s a ball of flowers, literally. The flowers are arranged in a ball and carried via a ribbon around the wrist or fingers. It used to be just a flower girl tradition, but it’s becoming more popular with brides and bridesmaids.

The single stem or contemporary bouquets are very elegant and tasteful. Generally they’re a single flower or set of 2-3 flowers arranged with some ribbon and leaves or grass. It’s perfect for a large flower, like a giant calla, or a tropical exotic, like an orchid.

The cascade is just what it sounds like. It’s a cascading floral arrangement that flows down the length of the front of the wedding dress. The cascading bouquet is my second favorite type. I love the beauty and diversity of the greenery as well as the opportunity to showcase a lot of different floral aspects.
The arm bouquet is simply carried like Miss America would. It’s a gathered bouquet of long stem flowers which are cradled in the crook of the arm and held along the length of it. It’s always seemed too cumbersome to my tastes, but may brides like the look.

The Biedermeier bouquet is like a posy but the flowers are arranged by color in a ring. A Biedermeier would have white roses in an outer ring followed by an inner ring of red, for example (or vice versa).
A composite bouquet has a bunch of different flowers all tightly bound together by wire so they look like one big flower. It’s expensive but beautiful.

Bible Sprays are the flower arrangements created around the cover of the Bible. Many Christians choose to carry a Bible down the aisle and having it match the dress and floral arrangements makes a beautiful memento.

The crescent bouquet is much like the cascading only instead of traveling in a cascade down the front, the flowers are arranged in a crescent and the cascade falls in a half moon.

These are just a portion of the types of flower arrangements you can have made for your bouquets. The great thing is that you can choose one style for you and another style for the wedding party. You can even have different flowers for your bouquet than theirs. Bouquets are like wedding dresses, they should be the ideal picture perfect flower. A bride should pick what she will forever remember. Remember that while you cannot throw a cascading bouquet, or many of the other styles, ninety-nine percent of florists make a special bouquet for the toss!
