Alternatives to Carrying Bouquets

  Coloring outside the lines when it comes to planning your wedding, seems to be a little more common. More and more couples are planning their weddings with a sophisticated twist, making their special event a little more modern and non traditional.  Tradition will always be in style, it's just that some people don't want their event to be ordinary or expected.

    I was thinking about how expensive flowers can be considering that they eventually die.  What if you want something completely different? Or if you can't afford beautiful flowers for 15 of your bridesmaids?  Or if you don't want your girls to carry bouquets down the aisle?  Here are some fun alternatives:) 

 Outdoor wedding? How about a fan or umbrella to keep cool and look fabulous . You can use them as a photo prop as well! 

You always have the option of holding a gorgeous clutch.  You can keep all your goodies for the night (lip gloss, dental floss, sewing kit,deodorant, etc)! If it's for your bridesmaidss, you can have them purchase it with their dress, OR it could be your gift as well as their "bouquet."The girls will appreciate it, and its something they can keep after the night is over.

 HAVE FUN!

BALLOONS!  How fun is this! If it's too cooky, have someone hand them out before photos, or when you leave. Have fun with it!

I absolutely love the idea of having flowers from your garden, grandma's garden, or giving off the look that they are hand picked. For an outdoor wedding, this is fabulous and fun!
