BRIDAL BOUQUETS
A tightly
arranged nosegay consisting of concentric circles of various differently
colored flowers. The blooms are wired into a holder, with one flower
variety per ring.
A
waterfall-like spill of blooms, often composed of ivy and long-stemmed
flowers, that is wired to cascade gracefully over the bride's hands.
A dense
bunch of blooms that can be anchored in a bouquet holder, wired, or
hand-tied.
Small, round
bouquets, approximately 16 to 18 inches in diameter, composed of densely
packed round flowers and greenery. Nosegays are in an oasis bouquet
holder.
Special foam
used in flower arrangements. Oasis fits in a bouquet holder and retains
water like a sponge, hydrating flowers for extended time periods.
A
bloom-covered ball suspended from a ribbon. Ideal for child attendants.
Also known
as the pageant bouquet, this is a bunch of long-stemmed flowers cradled in
the bride's arms.
A small bouquet
that is used solely for the bouquet toss ritual.
From the
Victorian era, a tussy mussy is a very small bouquet carried in a small, metallic,
hand-held vase. Today, the term is often used in reference to the holder
itself. A metal canopy with 2 seats and decorated with flowers. It is a perfect setting for any ceremony, inside or outside.
A single
bloom or bud (or several small buds) attached to the left lapel of the
jacket. Boutonnieres can be worn by grooms, attendants, ushers, and the
bride's and groom's fathers.
A floral
centerpiece created at the base, neck, or top of a multi-armed candelabra.
Such a centerpiece is usually touched with flowing greens or ribbons,
depending on the wedding's style.
A single
bloom (or small cluster of blooms) arranged
and accented with ribbon. Corsages come in pin-on, wrist, and hand-held
styles and are typically worn by mothers and grandmothers. Orchids and
roses are popular choices.
The
centerpiece at the head table (where bride and groom are seated), which
drapes to the front of the table for visual effect.
Low
centerpiece style that consists of flowers clustered in a glass bowl. Centerpiece featuring abstract wildflowers. The composition is airy and less full than other designs.
Elaborately
woven rope or strand arrangement, typically used to adorn pews and
doorways.
A wedding
canopy decorated with flowers that is an integral part of the traditional
Jewish ceremony.
Flowers or
foliage trimmed into a ball shape resembling miniature trees. A ring of flowers or other decorative materials that can function as centerpiece, headpiece, or door hanger. Schedule Your Free Consultation Today! Phone 610-444-3841 Extension 304 |
