The difference between having a love and romance bouquet that looks dated is in the structure. The trendiest of bouquets for Spring ts are more like the ones we saw in the late seventies or early eighties. The flower arrangements are arranged in threes, wrapped with ribbon and created in a triangular compact way that resembles a teardrop.
Teardrop bouquets are a good arrangement because the compact bundle of flowers stay fresher longer. These types of bouquet are also easier to hold.
Teardrop bouquets usually feature one very large central bloom (like a glorious cabbage rose or gigantic peony) surrounded by flowers that get smaller and smaller in size (such as a cascade of calla lillies and then a cascade of calla lilies and miniature roses.) Bouquets like this in several colors can also be stunning.
The entire purpose of the teardrop is to create a very triangular shape in which the flowers are very well defined and refer to each other design-wise. The blooms are also usually all of the same variety and packed tightly with not too much old-old fashioned greenery or baby’s breath fillers.
However the most classic of teardrop bouquets for brides are constructed solely out of different sized roses or callas. They also tend to be quite monochromatic in color. For instance you might have a bouquet made out of crimson, orange and cinnamon colored calla lilies. Calla lilies are great for the construction of this type of bouquet because they come in so many colors.
However multiple colors work in these love and romance tear drop style bouquets as well. Some florist use blooms that have a bit of graduation in their blossoms to glorify the entire teardrop effect.
Often the entire bouquet or floral display is emphasized with a beautiful trailing ribbon that is either the same color or that contrasts elegantly with the color of the blooms.
