The Posy or Clutch Bouquet describe the image

The posy bouquet is round and small and can easily be held in one hand.   The natural stems are wrapped in a beautiful satin ribbon and can be embellished with pearl pins and beads and other accessories.   The clutch type of bouquet consists of a simple gathering of flowers, bound and tied with ribbon with stems left exposed.  This is a beautiful choice for an outdoor wedding with that just picked from the garden look.   This style is a favorite with our briDSCN8200 resized 600des. 

The Arm Sheaf Bouquet

They are long stemmed flowers and foliages that the bride carries cradled in her arm, also known as a presentation bouquet.  It is a lovely alternative to more traditional styles of bouquets.  It can be simple or elaborate.

The crescent bouquet appears in the shape of a quarter moon, a soft arch, using distinguished flowers with definite shapes, often orchids, wired together to form a slender handle that you can hold in one hand.  This style is perfect for sophisticated and contemporary weddings.

Cascading Bouquet
