HAND-TIED BOUQUET

A hand-tied bouquet is a bunch of flowers with stems grouped together

in an unstructured way and tied, usually with a ribbon. Minimalist hand-tied

bouquets are just three or four of the same long stemmed flower.

A nosegay is a structured bouquet, consisting of a small, packed group

of flowers, all cut to the same length. The stems are wrapped tightly in ribbon

or lace, and the bouquet often has a stiff backing to give it shape.

The cascade is a more  traditional bouquet. The flowers are arranged

to look as if they are flowing over the bride’s hands. This style can be large.

A smaller, modern version is often known as teardrop bouquet.
