In ancient times, a bride held a bouquet of flowers and herbs on her wedding day to ward off evil spirits. Today a bridal bouquet is filled with decorative flowers that are much more of a fashion statement than a superstition. Wedding bouquets have gone through many different styles and trends, and 2016 introduced so many gorgeous, new arrangements! So as this year comes to a close, check out 15 bridal bouquets we can’t get enough of.
