Cascading bridal bouquets are always a favorite for our brides – they’re romantic, grand, and always make a statement. Today, we’re sharing what makes cascading bouquets so special, how this style compares to traditional clutch styles, and what to keep in mind when deciding if this style is right for you. If you’re planning your dream wedding, these tips will help you figure out if a cascading bouquet is the perfect match!
What is a Cascading Bridal Bouquet?
If you’re looking for a bridal bouquet that’s bold, romantic, and unforgettable, a cascading bouquet might be the one. With its long, trailing blooms, this style flows beautifully downward, creating a dreamy “waterfall” effect. As you walk down the aisle, the flowers spill naturally from your hands–adding just the right amount of drama (the good kind!) to your day. If you’re going for something unique and eye-catching, cascading bouquets are a must-have!
Cascading or Clutch? Comparing the Two Styles
Clutch bouquets are a wedding classic. They’re usually round and compact, or designed with a loose, garden-inspired feel for a more natural look. This style is super easy to carry and complements a wide variety of wedding themes (rustic, boho, traditional & more).
On the other hand, cascading bouquets are long, show-stopping flowers. This style tends to use more flowers and will need more support to uphold its signature design. Cascading bouquets are perfect for a grand celebration where you want all eyes on you! Still trying to decide on which style? Comparing the two side by side can help you figure out which matches your vibe (and dress) best!
Is a Cascading Bouquet Right for You?
If you want to plan a memorable wedding, a cascading bridal bouquet might be your perfect match! This style instantly elevates your day—and trust me, your guests will be talking about your bouquet all night long.
Before you talk to your florist, here are a few things to keep in mind:
1) Cascading bouquets typically include more blooms to create that one-of-a-kind design. You may need some extra support to maintain the structure of your flowers, and this can make your bouquet a bit heavier to hold. More flowers = more weight, but it’s the kind of bouquet that everyone will remember!
2) You’ll also want to think about your personal style. Is your vibe more low-key and laid-back? A cascading bouquet might feel a little too over-the-top for your day. But if you love main character energy, a cascading bouquet is totally you!
3) One last thing to consider: cascading bouquets are a little more delicate to transport, especially if you’re planning on multiple photo spots. But with the right planning, our experienced team at New City Florist will ensure your bouquet stays fresh and picture-perfect from your first look to your last dance!
💡Florist Tip: Do you love the cascading look but need something a little easier to carry? We can design a semi-cascading bridal bouquet in a clutch style! By using flowers like orchids or amaranthus, we’ll give you the same flowing design without all the extra weight.
