Last month, we covered 4 of the main styles for bridal bouquets -
we hope you had half as much fun reviewing them as we did gathering photos of them!
This month, we’ll look at some fun alternatives to those discussed earlier, and provide some inspiration for your big day!
Roll over an image to see the creative minds behind the design ❤️
-Hand-Tied-
To understand a hand-tied bouquet, think “next-level natural”!
Designed without wire to support precise placement, this structure is meant to resemble that fresh, hand-picked look you’d get if you had just walked out of a meadow… you know, in your beautiful bridal gown and perfect hair and make-up!
The natural gathering of the floral and greenery is finished off with ribbon, fabric, or other soft material - making this type of bouquet perfect for that bohemian, organic feel!

-Hidden Gems-
More of an idea for inspiration than a “style”, we absolutely love to see little nuggets of fun hidden inside bridal bouquets!
Gems, pearls, pretty much ANYTHING pretty can be artfully added in to the design of your floral, and that includes mementos of people you love, times you’ve spent, or goals you want to achieve. One of the bouquets below featured a hidden compass, meant to signify the couple’s promise that they’ll never stop exploring the world and having adventures together… ::swoon!::
This is an amazing way to personalize your bouquet, so get creative!

-Alternative Ideas-
We love things that are different!
The bouquets here were chosen to be included because there’s something about them
that’s just a little unique, special, and oh-so-to-die-for!
Whether it’s floral choice, shape, or another way to think outside the bouquet-box, we dig it!
The bouquet above features a crescent shape, which is rounded and meant to be held
more with an arm than with a hand. It adds so much drama and impact!
Below, this elegant-tropical design features more than one big, beautiful, statement flower!
There are roses, orchids, and white lilies - all of which can carry a design on their own,
but that work together here to create something super gorgeous and special!
The bouquet below features a piece of floral we rarely see included in bridal bouquets - the King Protea! It’s the national flower of South Africa, and with its big head and unique look, it is SUCH a showstopper!

-Inspiration: The Invitation Suite-
There are so many different aspects to your wedding day, and we think it’s super fun to see any kind of coordination that can tie pieces of the event together. Here, we’ve featured some of our favorite invitation suites/bridal bouquets that were thoughtfully designed to work together. Whether it’s an exact match or just the overall “feel” and aesthetic that compliment each other, it’s a great way to follow through on the expectation you’ve set for your guests with that gorgeous invitation!

-Inspiration: The Ceremony Site-
Another way to coordinate different aspects of your big day -
pulling that bouquet you’ll hold down the aisle into the overall design of the ceremony!
With the same style of floral and matching details like color, a complimenting bouquet will add a touch of warmth and emotion to your journey down the aisle… you’ve ARRIVED!

Well, we must say that the last two months of compiling, reviewing, and writing these floral blogs has been so enjoyable!
We are so proud to work with such talented floral artists and event designers -
they give us so much beauty to photograph.
Even more inspiring to us? The romance of the bride and groom,
the adoration of their friends and families, and every moment of their big celebration!
We’ll be back next month with a new blog… see you then!
