Arm sheafs first became popular for brides in the early 1900’s and it reached its peak in the 20’s. Dramatic, but beautiful. The arm sheaf bouquet (also known as just over the arm boquets or pageant boquets) will instantly give you a vintage vibe. Flowers commonly used for this type of bouquet: calla lilies, tulips, gladiolus…if you want to go really replicate a real vintage arm sheaf bouquet you can use roses, baby’s breath, ivy and stargazer lilies.

That middle photo makes me swoon. The pearls hanging from the bouquet and the lace wrapping the stems are perfect with that dress.
