cluster posy

This design is strictly round shaped from the front view and softly rounded from the side view. For a formal effect, the same variety is used such as roses. If you prefer a less formal "spring" look a mixture of three to five varieties such as lisianthus, freesias and hyacinth look beautiful together. With this design the posy usually has foliage, such as glossy Camellia leaves around the perimeter.

Suggested flowers: Flowers with a round/soft head or shape - for example: open roses, parrot tulips, lisianthus, ranunculus, David Austin roses, freesia, chincherinchee. peonies, sweet peas, hyacinths, jonquils, bouvardia and privot or pepper berry clusters.

Compatible dress style: This style of bouquet looks best with a gown that has a long skirt or is box pleated or A-line. The cluster posy can either be held with both hands or with one hand at your side. Either way it is best to hold it low to show off your gown.

loose posy

The loose posy is informal in its appearance as its not strictly round or even on the edges. The effect is achieved by mixing different sizes blooms with textured foliages throughout the flowers to give an unstructured natural "just picked" effect. Stems are left natural and slightly longer to accent the design.

Suggested flowers: Larger, defined flowers work best .Consider tulips, lisianthus, alstroemeria, asiatic or oriental lily, lotus pods, gerberas, freesias, cymbidium orchids, irises, frangipanis, antherium, or native varieties. More greenery and exotic leaves helps make the bouquet look informal and relaxed.

Compatible dress style: A simple cut, straight or A-line gown with or without straps.

arm sheaf (hand spray)

This is one of the most versatile designs as it can be held in many different ways. The arm sheaf looks natural and elegant for any bride because it can be held in an upward position across the forearm with the top blooms falling over the elbow and the stems held in the bride's hand. Or alternatively,, this bouquet can be held on an angle cascading down the gown or like a teardrop form the hips. The stems end together and the flowers need to be long and cascading, sometimes graduated. Foliage can be dramatic and vines can trail from the bouquet.

Suggested flowers: Anything long stemmed and structured like roses, lillies, orchids, tulips, irises, magnolias, antherium and lotus pods.

Compatible dress style: A long straight or fitted dress works well with this design.

teardrop

This style of bouquet has a posy top with a wider trail flowing down to form a teardrop. Formal flowers such as roses and orchids are appropriate with this design as the flowers are confined within the teardrop shape and foliage such as glossy Camellia leaves are used around the perimeter.

Suggested flowers: Roses, orchids, tulips or peonies as feature flowers surrounded by smaller flowers like miniature roses, Singapore orchids, trailing berries and lisianthus.

Compatible dress style: A traditional long gown with a full skirt and/or train.

long trailing (cascading)

This style of bouquet is very slender from the top to the tip. It can look quite dramatic with cascades of long trailing vines and flowers flowing down to form a narrow tip. Care needs to be taken to ensure the bouquet is in proportion to the brides height and dress style as it can overwhelm the dress if too large or bushy. A trailing bouquet is held with both hands and carried in line with the hips.

Suggested flowers: Roses, orchids, tulips or lillies as feature flowers surrounded by smaller flowers like miniature roses, Singapore orchids, jasmine, hyacinths, freesias trailing berries and lisianthus.

Compatible dress style: A traditional gown with a full skirt and sweeping train that trails like the flowers. A narrower  cascading trail bouquet is also good with a straight gown as it helps create the illusion of slimmer hips.
