Real weddings: bouquets, brides & recommended florists

Are you or someone you know getting married soon and starting to make wedding plans? Let me help make your wedding planning easier. Here are some examples of bridal and bridesmaids bouquets from real weddings I have photographed over the years. You will also find a list of florists I recommend at the end of this post. {Disclaimer: I’m no florist and I’m going just by how the flowers look to me, so I would suggest consulting one of the recommended florists to be sure.}

Hand-held bouquets including posies and nosegays:

These seem to be the most popular choice. The hand-held bouquets you see here vary in style a little, ranging from the really small and tightly packed posies, the slightly bigger bunches also known as nosegays, the more precise round and circular arrangements, and to the looser and bigger hand-held style.

The Cascade

The Presentation bouquet also known as the Arm Sheaf usually has long stems are cradled on the arm.

The hand tied bouquet has the stems usually retained, tied at the binding point and wrapped in silk ribbons. This is a very popular DIY style bouquet.
