When it comes to choosing bridal bouquet design its not just flower type you need to consider.
The shape of your bouquet is a very important part of design and helps to set the style of your wedding flowers. When choosing photos for your inspirational board pick bouquets that have the shape you like. You can create 2 categories, if necessary, shape and size and flower choice and color pallet. This will help create a clear vision for the design process. Below you’ll find the 5 main shape profiles for bridal bouquets and the styles/themes they best match with along with some example photos.
Structured
Structured bouquets are ball like and round. Very compact. Typically, minimal to no greenery. Organized and arranged tightly.
Semi Structured
Semi structured bouquets hold the same over all round appearance as structured bouquets but are arranged slightly looser. They will have some height differences in blooms with some greenery or flowers hanging or sitting above other blooms. Structured and semi structured shapes fit well with classic, traditional, modern, chic, clean, simple themes.
Unstructured
Unstructured bouquets have a very loose airy farmers marker feel. They typically have more greenery and texture. They look less organized- wilder, not using a particular pattern. Tend to have foliage hanging or sticking out.
Semi unstructured
Semi unstructured bouquets have the same loose freeform feel that the unstructured bouquet does but on a tamer scale. Meaning slightly more organized and less wild. Not as much foliage hanging or sticking out. Unstructured and semi unstructured shapes fit well with garden, ethereal, boho and rustic themes.
Cascade
Cascade bouquets spill forward and have a waterfall effect. Cascade bouquets can be built in a structured, semi structured, unstructured, and semi unstructured way. Instead of blooms pointing upward the blooms are arranged moving forward and down.
