Hand tied style Several specific bouquet names fit into this category. For example, the Posy, Nosegay, and Beidermeir are all hand tied bouquets. So here is a little history on all of the above. The posy was very popular in the Victorian era, when flowers held secret messages of lovers; each flowers having a specific meaning, and when delivered to the courtier, delivered a message according to the flowers in the bouquet. A Posey is the closest known relative to the hand tied bouquets of today. Posy bouquets are wired with floral wire, and taped completely up and covered with a satin or organza trim ribbon. Thus creating a small dainty handle. The Nosegay, traditionally a small bunch of flowers or herbs, was a small grouping of lowers, often backed with tulle. It is a beautiful choice for flower girls and Jr. Bridesmaids. The Biedermeier yet another posy, carefully arranged concentric circles of colored flowers, each ring containing one type of flower. This bouquet originated in Switzerland in the late 1800's The posy fell out of popularity in the first half of the 20th century, and have very slowly crept back in fashion over the last few decades. Whether you tie the stems loosely with a ribbon, wire them, or wrap the natural stems completely, they all classify as Hand Tied bouquets. [photogallery/photo029/real.htm]
