    Asiatic and Calla lillies, roses, HUGE, long dangling bouquets with long strands of fern and other foliage. Oddly, super long, almost floor length strands of ribbon hanging from the bouquet were also a thing, sometimes with little bows or small flowers attached along the length.

    Bouquet of anemones, scabiosa, patience roses, calla lilies, oregano, feathers (like peacock feathers), and heuchera leaves...

    This is what I found... they really loved the feathers

    From Nancy Eaton's book, "Your Vintage Wedding"

    1920s: As skirts got shorter, wedding bouquets got larger, with trailing streamers of ribbon tied with lovers' knots and greenery. Some brides even heightened the theatrics by trimming their bouquets Hollywood style, with fur, egret or marabou feathers, or ostrich plumes.

    Most bridesmaids carried bouquets similar to the bride's, but slightly smaller and a different color. Baskets of flowers were also popular, especially for garden or informal weddings.
