A cascade bouquet has a compact centre and a trail that falls in front of the dress. It is made with flowers and foliage that have flexible stems, or with wired flowers, so it takes more work than a round bouquet. It often returns with streamlined dresses and ceremonies in large churches.
Weight matters: if it is long and full, hold it before the day, for the photos too. The guide to the bridal bouquet compares it with the other shapes; the one on how much a bouquet costs explains why it usually sits at the top of the range. On the top table, a cascading arrangement can spill over the edge: see the guide to the top table.
What to ask: how long it will be, how much it will weigh, how it holds up for a few hours out of water. Remember that in photos a large bouquet hides part of the dress: flowers and photography explains this.
