Alternatives To Bridal Bouquet

By on October 22, 2011

For a bride, her bouquet is extremely important to her, and she can at times go to unimaginable extents to ensure excellence and perfection for it. She knows that the bouquet is more or less like an accessory that she’ll be carrying on the wedding day, so it becomes important to stylize it well, and co-ordinate it with the wedding dress. These days, brides have started to move away from the conventional floral bouquets, and are now opting for offbeat options. You’ll be amazed to know how many different kinds of bridal bouquet alternatives there are!

Alternatives to Bridal Bouquet

A Different Approach 

Not moving away from the concept of flowers totally, there are many brides that take a different approach to their bouquets. There are artificial flowers made out of thin wood, silk, satin etc. that are beautifully decorated with ribbons, sprayed pearl paints etc., and make for wonderfully stunning bouquets. Some brides go in for bouquets made with origami too.

Another interesting trend to note is the bouquets made out of felt and buttons, as well as those made out of clay flowers. Moreover, if you get in touch with designer boutiques, they could actually make a bouquet for you out of just buttons and dried flowers or dried leaves too!

Pricey and Elite

If you want your wedding bouquet to be blingy, and act as a showstopper, then you could opt to get it made out of semi-precious stones and gems. These gems, pearls and stones are beautifully adorned on silk and satin, along with decorations of net to give the bouquet a very classy feel.

Completely Unconventional

And if you are a completely unconventional sort of a bride, then you could get your bridal bouquet made out of feathers and pearls, or ribbons and net, or a combination of all these elements. Some brides also like to get their bouquet made out of dried twigs, stems and peacock feathers. You could also opt for an umbrella, a fan, or a muff to go with your outfit if you don’t want a bridal bouquet.

Another option could be to get a small clutch purse. There are also bouquets made out of Christmas ornaments (such as bells and balls) that one could choose to go in for. A very delicious bouquet would be one full of candies and chocolates wrapped up in a bouquet fashion!

In a nutshell, one does not necessarily have to stick to natural flowers for a bridal bouquet. You could be as creative and unconventional as you are willing to be, and the options are limitless. Some brides actually carry a candle in a lantern for a night wedding, while others just carry a combination of shrubs and herbs along with fresh leaves. It totally depends on your tastes and preferences, and how you’d like your bouquet to match with your wedding dress.
