Choosing the perfect wedding flower bouquet is one of the most exciting yet challenging parts of wedding planning. With countless styles, colors, and arrangements to consider, many brides feel overwhelmed. This guide will break down various types of wedding flower bouquet styles, helping you find the ideal bouquet that complements your wedding theme and personal style.

When florists refer to the “style” of your bouquet, they are usually referring to the shape. There’s a bit more to it than that, involving the mechanics of your bouquet, but as a bride, you don’t need to worry about the behind the scenes, just the end result!

Classic Round Bouquets

The classic round bouquet is a timeless favorite that always looks beautiful.

This style of bouquet can also be referred to as Natural stem, Posy or Hand-tied. It features a tightly rounded shape filled with beautiful blooms, sometimes mixed, sometimes all the same flower (eg. roses) where the stem handle is visible when being carried by the bride/attendant.

With fresh flowers the stems themselves will usually be visible, but with artificial flowers the stems are usually contained within ribbon as the wire ends can catch and damage fabric.

Cascading Bouquets

This style features flowers that flow downwards, creating a waterfall effect.

This style of bouquet can also be called a Teardrop or a Trailing bouquet.

Teardrop usually refers to the more traditional structured teardrop shape whereas the Trailing or Cascading tend to be more of a relaxed flowing shape that only loosely resembles a teardrop.

The handle of this type of bouquet is at the back of the bouquet, only visible to the carrier.

Sheaf Bouquets

This is a very multi-functional style of bouquet. It forms a rounded diamond shape when held upright, but can also be utilised as an arm sheaf held in the crook of your arm, allowing you to have one hand free.

It gives a slightly more relaxed vibe to your overall look and makes really lovely photos when held loosely, one handed, pointing down to the ground.

This informal style beautifully enhances a casual wedding atmosphere.

Modern Bouquets

An eye-catching striking style of bouquet when you’re looking for something a little different.

Rather than the flowers being mixed in evenly together, they are arranged in aesthetically pleasing groups to really highlight each flowers qualities and beauty.

The rules of shape are not applicable, think of it as an artwork of flowers.

It's really important to choose a florist whose style you love when going for this style of bouquet.
