What is an 'old-fashioned' floral arrangement?

There are two schools of thought in old-fashioned flower arrangements. One is the Neo-Victorian era, where you're looking for a tussie-mussie or a hand-tied bouquet, like a silver container that is old fashioned, soft and romantic. There is also the 50s school of flower arrangements, which is more of something you might have flipped through in a book of flower arrangements at an old fashioned florist, like some place at the mall. The triangle shaped arrangements, like a spray, looks like a funeral spray in my opinion.
