Get To Know Bouquet Shapes

If you’re wondering which bridal bouquet is best for you, you’re not alone. There are so many gorgeous examples of what’s possible these days when it comes to bouquets, and no doubt you’ve starred many of them. Given all of the flowers and styles out there, how will you decide? One of the most important things you’ll want to consider—and one that’s tied to both flowers and styles—is shape. That’s where we here at Beneva Weddings come in. We’ll help you narrow it down to that perfect shape, but first, a primer.

Round

This compact shape is exactly as it sounds, rounded into a nice, neat mold. The flowers in a piece like this create a dome shape. It’s tidy, traditional and elegant.

Hand-Tied

On the other end of the spectrum, there’s this look, which reflects a hand-picked quality. If you want your flowers to appear abundant and unrestrained, go for a hand-tied shape, which leaves them going at different angles and heights to provide a free and wild feel.

Posy & Nosegay

Two popular shapes, these bouquets are small and clutchable. They don’t overpower the bridal look, demurring instead. Posies tend to make use of more flowers, and nosegays bring the greenery. Either way, the effect is the same: a dainty grouping of flowers that strikes a balance between natural and polished.

The Cascade

If you’re looking for floral drama, look no further. This shape has been popular for generations, owing to its emphasis on trailing flowers and greenery that lay beautifully against the background of your dress. This is the style you’ll choose if you want to make a real statement. Ribbons and other floral items are also invited to this party.
