Pageant bouquets are bigger, beautiful bouquets that the bride holds, or cradles, in her arm. These can be small and simple, or extravagant and big! They are composed of long stem flowers, such as long-stemmed roses, orchids, or larkspur.

The bouquets are exactly what they sound like, bouquets with stems tied loosely together by hand. They have a casual look with the loose stems! Any flowers or greenery work for these and can have different materials, like lace or the hem of a dress, to tie around the bottom!

The bouquets contain more greenery than flowers! Oftentimes, the bridesmaids have a smaller version that looks very similar to the brides. These are a great option for a toss bouquet if you need one.
