12 Traditional and Non-Traditional Wedding Bouquets

When you’re walking down the aisle, only one other thing will be catching equal attention of the crowd as your dress; and that is the bridal bouquet. That bouquet will become a part of your bridal aura. It will be right there in front of all your wedding photos, and later found in the hands of the woman who catches it!

Choosing a bridal bouquet for your wedding can be as exciting as selecting the wedding dress itself as it’s a major asset of your attire for the event. There are so many unique options available, and choosing a custom bouquet offers more of a personalized touch.

We have put together a list of twelve traditional and non-traditional wedding bouquets, so you can get inspirations for a quirky and trendy choice.

 

Nosegay Bouquets

Nosegay bouquets consist of round clusters of closely tied flowers, packed with every element of country chic style and shabby delicacy. They are comparatively smaller in size and perfect for women who prefer a simple yet pretty look.

 

Cascades

Cascading Bouquets

 

For taller brides with a long-tailed bridal gown, the fancy cascading bouquets fit well into the flowy ensemble. They add a bit of drama and lots and lots of wow factor to the whole outfit as compared to other simple bouquets.

 

Round Bouquets

Round bouquets are easily the most traditional choice for a wedding. They compliment all sorts of dresses either short or long. Brides who want a feminine and classy attire choose round bouquets of different flower species.

 

Composite Bouquets

Composite Bouquets

 

A composite bouquet requires excellent craftsmanship as it appears a single huge flower is being carried by the bride. In real, lots and lots of rose petals are carefully glued around a flower to make it appear round and big.

A composite bouquet is beautiful and looks way too classy. It’s a unique choice among other bouquets which carry multiple bunches of flowers.

 

Crescent Style Bouquets

The crescent bouquet is shaped into a soft arch like a half moon, with flowers more hunched in the center and extending outwards in a tapered form. For women who prefer a wider silhouette for their bouquet, it brings elegance with the natural blooming flowers.

 

Pageant Bouquets

The name says it all, pageant bouquets are typically used in beauty pageants, but many women who are inspired by their elaborate, detailed, and regal look opt it as their bridal bouquet. Pageant bouquets are carried on the right arm and need to be artfully placed further enhancing the beauty of the bride!

 

Fern and Eucalyptus

Talk about a beach theme wedding! A bouquet made up of sea shells (artificial, or really lightweight ones, of course) look extremely pretty when bundled with delicate flowers.

 

Pine cones

Pine cones are nostalgic and for a couple who are having their wedding in a hilly area or a mountain house, can go for a bouquet of pine cones wrapped up in net, embellished with delicate flowers.

An upside; pinecones will never die just like the love between you and your partner!

 

Peacock Feather Bouquet

Peacock feathers have been used as a fashion statement by modern women throughout history. Peacock feathers tied together bring so many naturally vibrant hues to the outfit. They look dramatic and sophisticated at the same time!

 

White Pearls

How about garnishing a few pretty flowers with a pearl infused chain? An all-white themed wedding will go well with a white pearl bouquet. And you’ll truly look like a princess who stepped out of a fairytale.

Remember the two rules for choosing a wedding bouquet; if you have an elaborate and fancy dress, go for a simple bouquet (and the other way around). Make sure that the flowers you choose are easy to handle, lightweight and do not shed or get soiled.

We hope you are now inspired enough to make a decision about the kind of bouquet you want for your wedding!
