Whether you’ve always dreamed of a classic, timeless look or you're drawn to modern, trendy designs, there’s a bouquet style out there that perfectly reflects your vision and personality. In this blog post, we’ll dive into three popular bridal bouquet styles—clutch, garden, and cascading—and provide you with tips and inspiration on how to match your bouquet to your dress, wedding theme, and personal style.
Clutch (Nosegay) Bridal Bouquets
When it comes to clutch bridal bouquets— less is more. These are often hand-tied bouquets designed in a tight cluster of flowers. If you're wondering how to match your clutch bouquet to your dress, consider the silhouette and fabric details. 
A sleek satin dress pairs beautifully with an all-rose clutch bouquet for that classic Hollywood-glamour. For lace dresses with intricate details, opt for mixed blooms like peonies and ranunculus that add texture without overwhelming the look.
Cascading Bridal Bouquets
Cascading bridal bouquets are all about drama and romance. These flowing arrangements feature flowers draping elegantly downwards and can be tailored from traditional roses to more contemporary tropical creations using orchids or calla lilies. If you’re wearing an elaborate gown with lots of volume or detailed embellishments, cascading bouquets add an extra layer of luxurious detail without competing for attention. Did you know this type of bouquet can also be customized? If you want to reflect your personal style—whether boho-chic or vintage glam—your florist can incorporate unique elements like berries or feathers!
Garden Bridal Bouquets
Garden bridal bouquets have become increasingly popular for their wild, whimsical vibe. They are perfect for brides who love nature’s natural beauty and want their bouquet to reflect that. Imagine walking down the aisle carrying a bouquet filled with blush roses and wildflowers like lavender or amaranthus! 
Flowers such as dahlias, sunflowers, and eucalyptus work wonders in these free-flowing arrangements. To make sure your garden bouquet complements your wedding theme, think about incorporating seasonal blooms that echo the colors of your décor.
Talk To Your Florist
So— how do you choose the right bouquet for your wedding theme? Think cohesion! Your bouquet should act as a beautiful extension rather than an isolated element within your overall aesthetic—whether that's rustic chic or ballroom elegance. Discussing your ideas extensively during your consultation with your florist helps ensure every petal aligns flawlessly with your vision.
