The Bridal Bouquet

Sticking with flowers, let's turn our attention to the bridal bouquet. The general rule of thumb is: short dress small bouquet. I do feel my job is to ensure that Charlotte decides on the perfect one for her, even if her choice flouts all the rules! We have discussed her bouquet and her general preference is for a loosely styled hand-tied bouquet which is always charming but I do wonder if a garden style bouquet will be the best accessory for her dress which is overtly glamorous. So I've put together a selection of references for her.
Romantic garden style hand-tied bouquets:

Dahlia garden bouquet:

The wrist corsage:
Not often done because brides feel that a bouquet gives them something to do with their hands but remember you only carry the bouquet for the length of the aisle then you hand it over to a bridesmaid so why not sashay Claudia Schiffer-style down the red carpet and allow your guests to take in the whole glorious you rather than hiding behind flowers? And there is something old-worldly about a corsage...

Roaring twenties, fabulous feathers:

The 1920's and feathers are synonymous, so here are a couple of feather bouquet looks.
