Some brides are looking to simple elegance for adorning their wedding with flowers. What most people are looking for is something new and different. Three brides came to Secret Garden armed with the same pictures from one of Stewart's magazines, Villyard said. Villyard said her customers tend to want the nosegay style for their bouquets. The nosegay style uses two to three different flower varieties with no baby's breath, she said.
Roses remain the most popular flower for bridal bouquets.
Nowadays, brides usually don't throw their bouquet, said Tonya Freeman at Freeman's Flowers. They have a separate bouquet to toss to the single women. Overall, Villyard said her customers are often looking for simple, clean arrangements of flowers. Mass quantity of any one thing is always very effective. One example is using rose petals as a way to decorate, she said.
