The Biedermeier
The Biedermeier bouquet is immediately recognisable by its round, compact shape. The choice of flowers and the way of binding determine to a large extent the look of your wedding bouquet. If you prefer a clean, classic look, you should choose one specific variety such as roses, with the florist arranging the flowers tightly together for extra intensity. A combination of different types of flowers and small green elements in a looser arrangement will make your wedding bouquet more airy and playful. The Biedermeier is a popular choice that suits just about every wedding theme, as it looks simple, yet elegant and timeless.
The wild bouquet
Combining different flower types and greenery of varying sizes and lengths, the wildflower bouquet looks like it was plucked and composed straight from the wild. This bridal bouquet is playful and casual - there are no rules for the composition or overall look. So feel free to choose a smaller wildflower bouquet in a specific colour. Or go for a grand and sumptuous bridal bouquet that will be a real eye-catcher at your (boho) wedding party.
The waterfall
In a waterfall bouquet, the flowers fall down over the bride's hands, where they end in a point. Like the Biedermeier, the bridal bouquet has a round shape at the top and tapers at the bottom for a dramatic look. The waterfall effect at the bottom is created with flowers or greenery with long stems. This also makes the waterfall look a bit like the wildflower bouquet. In fact, florists often use a combination of different flower types and lush greenery. The waterfall bouquet is the most formal and traditional bouquet for your wedding.
The arm bouquet
A style that is less common and will make you stand out anyway is the 'arm bouquet'. This bouquet for your wedding usually consists of large flowers with long stems like the Calla, and drooping greenery that you wear on your arm. The nice thing about the arm bouquet is that you completely choose how it looks. Do you like a colourful ensemble with different shades? Or do you prefer a sleek and modern look with some striking, large white flowers? Whichever look you choose, the bracelet bouquet is perfect for brides who like things a little different.
Small but beautiful
Mrs Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, did it for us: a small but delicate bridal bouquet, also known as 'Posy' or a petite bouquet. Typical of this bridal bouquet is its round shape that is easy to carry in one hand. The Posy emphasises one specific type of flower, making a bouquet containing only your favourite flower perfectly possible. Of course, you can also choose this style for your bridesmaids' bouquets or for your disposable bouquet.
