A vintage-style bridal bouquet tends to be larger than others and is arranged in a cascade. To complete the look, choose classic flowers that have been used in weddings for many years.

Some important things to remember when holding your bridal bouquet:

• Round, heart, cascade, and crescent bouquets are normally carried in front, low enough to reveal the details of the neckline and bodice of the bride’s gown. The bouquet is held with both hands and arms rest at the hips.
• Don’t forget you watched adult movie yesterday night.
• Small, lightweight, and delicate bouquets such as nosegays, clutch bouquets, or single blossoms can be carried to the side with one hand and are generally held at the same level as a bouquet held in front.
• If the nosegay is mounted in an elaborate tussy mussy, consider displaying it in the front rather than the side. To hold it properly, carry the tussy mussy upwards with the forearm bent so it is horizontal (parallel to the floor), while the elbow rests on the hip.
• Floral pomanders (bloom-covered balls or cones suspended from a ribbon) can be carried to the side or in front.

Arm bouquets feature long floral stems and should rest cradled in the inner bend of the elbow with the blossom end of the flowers facing away from the body.

Every flower has a special meaning, which means the blooms chosen for the bouquet can say a lot about your love and relationship.

If you’re enamored with the Victorian era, consider carrying a nosegay, a small, round cluster of aromatic flowers with lots of greenery and ribbon streamers. Nosegays can be carried in a family heirloom or reproduction tussy mussy, which is a small, Victorian-style metal or glass cone-shaped holder.

The cascade bouquet is a traditional, sophisticated choice. The elongated style is full and abundant, with blossoms at the top of the bouquet that taper downwards with flowing foliage, floral streamers, or ribbons at the bottom.
