Wedding posies are one of the best ways to accessorize the looks of the bride and they lend an ethereal charm to the bride on the most important day of her life. You might want to know what exactly is a wedding posy? A wedding posy is a bouquet of flowers in a small round arrangement usually held in the hands of the bride, bridesmaids, and the flower girls. 

There are weddings where you will see the bride holding oversized bouquets, and posies that are petite and do not overshadow the bride and her wedding looks. Being an important part of the wedding, wedding posies are given good importance and a lot of thought goes into creating a bouquet that is beautiful, unique, and complements the bride and her gown.
