Foliage rich bouquet for a stunning bride - photo courtesy of www.jacksonandcophotography.com |
This specific style of bouquet is super popular at the moment and features all over social media. This loose, natural and wilder style has grown in popularity recently and overtaken the neater styles of bouquet. It works really well with rustic style weddings, enchanted forests, Midsummer Nights dream styles and is very photogenic. However, in order to get the many different varieties of flowers, along with the all important foliage into these bouquets, it is worth noting that these bouquets are generally no shrinking violets (excuse the pun). Don't expect a petite posy. I personally think they look fabulous and make a real statement but you have to be prepared for them to be a little weightier.
The loose bouquet style can in fact take a number of forms and can flow equally all around the bouquet, can flow out to the sides more, can fall forward in a very natural waterfall style, or can be more linear and overarm. Whatever the style you prefer, the key is to be natural, unstructured and a little "random".

As you can see from the photos attached, the bouquets can vary in size, colour, floral content etc, but all share that natural "just-picked" look.

We like to design a statement bouquet for the bride and then follow the style but in scaled down forms for Bridesmaids and flower Girls.

Floral crowns also make a beautiful accessory to these bouquets, from brides through to Flower Girls.

In addition to the loose and flowing floral design, you might want to follow the natural look by adding a statement bouquet drape using different textured lengths of ribbon, silk, velvet and even offcuts of dress fabric. They catch the breeze beautifully and really add to the overall look.
