As with most other aspects of your wedding, you have great latitude in choosing a bouquet to complement your wedding gown, style of wedding, and personal preferences.

Arrangement	Description
Biedermeier	Smaller nosegay with a particular type of flower and color forming concentric rings.
Boa	A fancy stole made of blossoms and greenery wired together. No bouquet would generally be carried if a boa is worn.
Bouquet	Clust of blooms sunk inside a plastic bouquet holder. Comes in many shapes and sizes.
Cascade	With an oasis acting as a support base, a bouquet in which blooms and greenery gracefully cascade down from the oasis.
Composite	A full, fancy blossom on a single stem made from individual petals or a cluster of blooms that are wired or glued together.
Nosegay	Round burst of flowers, smaller ones are called posies. Generally anchored in a bouquet holder or hand tied with ribbons. Dates back to Victorian times when women carried them to social events.
Pomander	A pretty blossom-covered globe that hangs from and is carried by a satin ribbon. Often used for child attendants.
Tussie-mussie	Bouquet of flowers chosen for their symbolic meaning. Generally hand tied with stems cut to a comfortable carrying length and wrapped with ribbon. May be carried as is or placed in a Victorian-era silver, cone-shaped holder.
Wired	Bouquet-type arrangement in which each flower is wired or attached to a filament of green-taped wire to stand upright before being gathered together.
