The flowers that the bride decides to use in her wedding bouquet can be more or less lavish, rich and abundant in petals and blooms, depending on what the exact design of the bouquet is. In many cases, brides decide to plan it all as simple, clean, loose and unsophisticated as possible by using small frilly types of fresh flowers. Why would a modern bride want to carry a simple and perhaps smaller wedding bouquet when there are so many other sophisticated and eye-catchy designs? Well, this is the question that only formal and extravagant types of brides are asking.
But those who are planning a casual comfy and relaxed wedding already know the answer to this question. For them, the most important thing about a wedding is to be comfortable, commodious, light and as informal as possible. They want to have fun on the day, enjoy the ceremony and the reception, dance and have a good time and not feeling stressed about the fact that the dress is too tight and the bouquet is too heavy to be carried out in one hand.
In matters of flowers and flower arrangements, casual can mean handy, cozy, practical, easy-going and comfortable to wear. A looser wedding flower arrangement will be definitely more easily carried by the bride, while a lavish elaborated bouquet might be too heavy and totally unpractical. Brides who are going on a beach or island wedding will surely be interested in keeping natural, refined and vibrant. The flowers can have shorter stems in order to provide the bride with more freedom of movement, while the blooms and the petals can be softer but richer in colors. A few relevant examples in this case would be: a nosegay orchid casual wedding bouquet, a posy mini calla lily bouquet, a ginger bouquet, a pomander plumeria wedding bouquet or a sweet peas little wedding bouquet.
The kissing ball or the pomander style is usually chosen by brides who don’t want to have their hands occupied during the ceremony and prefer something more practical and chic instead. Other flowers that you can incorporate in a smaller yet coquette and eye-catchy casual wedding bouquet are: hyacinths, lilies of the valley, hydrangeas, carnations, peonies, tulips, narcissuses, lavenders, lilacs, anemones or gardenias.
