Flowers are personal, heartfelt, and in a way- an extension of you.

Every bride has her own vision, and your bouquet style can help tell that story. Not sure what feels right for you? But remember, be true to yourself. You don’t have to “fit” into just one category.

Here are four beautiful bouquet styles to consider.

1. Classic & Timeless If your dream wedding feels elegant, formal, and romantic, a classic bouquet might be calling your name. Picture lush roses, peonies, or lisianthus arranged in a rounded shape that feels soft and balanced. This bouquet pairs beautifully with traditional church weddings, formal ballrooms, or even timeless outdoor ceremonies.

The beauty of this style is that it never goes out of fashion. Fifty years from now, you’ll look back at your photos and love it just as much as you did on your wedding day. For Cleveland brides who value tradition, grace, and romance, this bouquet is always a perfect fit.

2. Wild & Garden-Inspired

Some brides are drawn to something a little freer, more natural—something that feels like it was gathered right from the Tennessee countryside. Wild, garden-inspired bouquets are loose, airy, and filled with texture. I love using ranunculus, peonies, dahlias and other seasonal blooms for this style.

This bouquet feels especially at home at outdoor venues, farm weddings, or rustic barn celebrations around Southeast Tennessee. It’s perfect if you love that “just picked” look with lots of movement and whimsy. Many of my Cleveland brides fall in love with this style because it feels romantic and down-to-earth.

3. Cascading & Dramatic

If you want your bouquet to make a statement, a cascading design might be for you. This style features flowers and greenery that gracefully trail downward, creating a flow that draws the eye. It’s bold, elegant, and unforgettable.

Cascading bouquets look especially stunning against a simple gown, because the flowers become the centerpiece of your look. If your Cleveland or Chattanooga wedding is being held in a grand space—like a historic venue, a sweeping staircase, or a formal setting—this bouquet style adds instant drama and flair.

4. Minimal & Modern

Sometimes less truly is more. Minimal bouquets are small, intentional, and chic. Think of a posy of tulips, a handful of orchids, or even just a few perfectly chosen stems tied simply with ribbon.

This style is perfect for the modern bride who loves clean lines and understated beauty. It also works beautifully for courthouse weddings, intimate gatherings, or brides who want to keep their look effortless and elegant.

A Local Touch: Tennessee-Grown Wedding Flowers

One thing that makes Sweet South Flowers unique is that I’m not just a florist—I’m a farmer–florist. Many of the flowers I design with are grown right here in Cleveland, TN. That means your bouquet isn’t just beautiful—it’s personal, sustainable, and deeply connected to this place we call home.

When you choose local flowers, you’re carrying the beauty of the season you’re getting married in. Spring brings ranunculus and anemones, summer bursts with zinnias and lisianthus , fall glows with dahlias and sunflowers. Choosing a bouquet that celebrates the season gives your wedding flowers a story that shipped-in blooms simply can’t match.

For brides who value authenticity, this little detail makes a big difference.

Which Bouquet Style Feels Like You?

When we sit down together for your consultation, I don’t just ask about flowers. I want to know your story—your dress, your venue, the atmosphere you dream of creating. Some brides come in saying, “I don’t know anything about flowers,” but by the time we’ve chatted, we always discover a style that feels just right for them.

Because at the end of the day, your bouquet isn’t about trends. Flowers just get to be part of the celebration that you found your person! Congratulations!
