Bride Heather carried a giant cluster of fragrant white sweetpeas tied with a 1940s ribbon.

This hand-tied bundle created by Emma Vowles included peonies, narcissus, double freesia, ranunculus, lilac, scilla, and all-white anemones.

This white bundle of gardenias, garden roses, geranium, allium, ranunculus, and tulips pops against the bride's blush wedding gown.

Velvet-stemmed Tweedia add that something blue to a white-on-white bouquet of spray and tea roses, Lisianthius buds and flowers, and Ranunculus. A slim metallic-silver vintage ribbon lends a touch of sparkle.

An exquisite all-white cascade like this one, fashioned from roses, sweet peas, Ranunculus, and tiny lilies of the valley, would be fitting for just about any bride in any setting. Dress by Robert Danes.

Tied with a white taffeta ribbon, a spring cascade of peonies floats on the tender foam of fresh white lilac sprays.

For this take on the time-honored gardenia cascade, Livia Cetti of The Green Vase added woody stems (Spiraea, Philadelphus, rhododendron) for a from-the-garden feel. Lilacs and PeeGee hydrangeas would be equally romantic. The pearl-and-emerald-hued bouquet is tied with vintage beaded trim and aqua silk.

Michelle Rago of Michelle Rago Ltd. prepared this mound of fully open and fringed tulips, ruffly peonies, lilacs, and sweet peas. It is a collage of textures, with small blooms fluttering among larger ones above a vintage jacquard cuff. Pearl-knotted silk ribbons complete the picture.

A densely packed confection of spring blossoms -- tulips, roses, Ranunculuses, calla lilies, and Tuberoses -- makes a little tapestry of textures.

Bouquets inspired by the tuxedo's colors are elegant and surprising. An armful of white flowers, including Majolica spray roses, lily of the valley, Ranunculus, freesia, Lisianthus, and sweet peas, is bound with a black-and-white sash tied in a grand bow.

White carnations are transformed into an amazingly stylish bouquet thanks to ingenious details like handmade white ribbon flowers and a pleated stem wrap adorned with black silk blooms.

When you're dressed in the most beautiful fabrics on earth, your bouquet should be, too. White calla lilies and hydrangeas cluster atop three frothy layers of pleated white silk organza.

Greens, grays, and yellows add dimension to classic white. For the bride, the large, rounded blooms of Miltonia orchids mix with showy white clematis, smoky buds of dusty miller, dainty feverfew, and fuzzy lamb's ear foliage. Orchids and feverfew show up again in the maid-of-honor bouquet. Feverfew tied in grosgrain makes a sweet posy for the bride's mother.

Stephanotis in the mist -- equal parts baby's breath and starry Stephanotis -- seems evanescent in its starchy faux-horsehair cuff.

The drama of white Cattleya orchids is unmatched by perhaps any other flower. Clustered together, their gently ruffled petals are reminiscent of sea foam on a wave. A slender, wired handle wrapped in ivory satin ribbon makes an abundance of the creamy blooms seem all the more spectacular.

In this asymmetrical bouquet, barely yellow double narcissus mingle among classic white narcissus with yellow cups and tubular freesias that have golden throats. Adding to the appeal, the freesias smell lightly sweet, while the narcissus have a heady fragrance. Wide and narrow-striped grosgrain ribbons with a pinned-on vintage button tie the tailored mix.

Michael George of Michael George Hybrid twined 18 clematis blooms and three leafy tendrils into a simple cascade that echoes the flower's trailing form. The dainty but abundant bouquet, bound with silk georgette, would suit a formal ceremony or a breezy one on a beach or hilltop.

Lime greens (umbrella ferns, yellow-tinged Euphorbia, Itea dotted with buds) add fizz to Cattleya and mini Cymbidium orchids, lilies of the valley, and jasmine vines. An eyelet wrap provides a sweet finish. By David Stark of David Stark Design and Production.

Both the miniature calla lilies and the Ranunculuses display touches of pink and green in this fan-shape bouquet, which is romantic yet still modern. The layered ribbons -- an inch-wide checked grosgrain over a broad band of silk grosgrain -- play up the soft blush of the flowers.

The bright whites of grape hyacinths, papery sweet peas, and pearl-like lilies of the valley look even fresher when paired with green-and-white Hellebores and Fritillarias with their graceful tendrils. This featherweight nosegay has a just-picked charm and a delicate perfume. Its ribbons -- scalloped faux suede over grosgrain -- are trimmed with a dotted button.

Mixing olives on silver-green branches and black ivy berries with Ranunculus gives this domed nosegay a loose, romantic feeling. The striped ribbon is pinned to a wide band.

The graceful quality of Fritillaria and miniature Cymbidium orchids enhances this bouquet's flowing composition, while lilies of the valley are sprinkled throughout like droplets. Accents of green -- in the foliage and on the tips of snowdrop petals -- punctuate the vision of soft white. A single dangling Fritillaria adds charm, while the silver metallic bow imparts elegance.

A bundle of bridal-white snowberries is wrapped in a white satin ribbon, with white beaded trim pinned to the top and bottom edges.

Refined garden and 'Mystique' roses in white, cream, and peach shades become fanciful with the addition of an unexpected element: dusty miller foliage as intricate as coral.

The sunny splashes of color here come not from the flowers' petals but from their centers: the apricot trumpets of cream-color Narcissus and yellow-green anthers of white Clematis. The trailing stems of the Clematis give the bouquet a gathered-from-the-garden feel, while ruffled white sweet peas fill it out. Narrowly striped ribbon is a lively accent.

The soft ruffles of this ethereal ball of yellow-touched white Cattleya orchids trail off giddily into girlish curls of pale-yellow ribbon.

A casual bundle of Hellebores with their leaves exudes the spirit of spring. Stems are loosely gathered and wrapped in grosgrain ribbon.

What it lacks in color, this bridal bouquet more than makes up for in texture and fragrance. A glorious cascade of Stephanotis vine, Fritillaria, and Muscari tied with a cluster of lily of the valley is luxurious yet carefree enough to feel as if it's just plucked from the garden.

Martha created this bride's wired bouquet from lush white cattleya orchids; it is both handmade and sophisticated.

The bride carries calla lilies, wired gladiolus, sweet peas, and stephanotis on the vine -- an updated version of her mother's wedding bouquet from 1956; the stems are wrapped in the same satin ribbon used as the sash on Theresa's dress.
