Not Your Ordinary Bouquet

You spend a good amount on your bridal bouquet and it's beautiful. You can't wait to do one of those amazing things you saw on Pinterest to preserve it. After the wedding you leave it for your family to put away and head off on your dream honeymoon. You get home and start unpacking everything from the wedding and come across your bouquet. It has been shoved into a box but you still think it can be salvaged. You begin to pull it out and you notice that the entire thing has mold all over it!

So maybe this exact situation hasn't happened to you. Maybe you have seen some people with old dried bouquets hanging somewhere in there house with a big pile of dried petals falling off. For me the possibilities of what I can do with this amazing bouquet I spent so much on are limited and it will never look as amazing as it did on your wedding day. 

So you have had the same thoughts, or possibly you just want to add something a little unique to your wedding day. There are so many amazing options for a bridal bouquet now-a-days that all range in price, size, and extravagance. I wanted to share a couple options that I love but remember there are so so so many more!

 I wanted to start with something fun and this is it! These bridesmaids carried balloons down the aisle.What a surprise and it looked amazing while they were standing at the front.

This is so hard to believe but these are PAPER flowers. Aren't they just amazingly beautiful. I love this company, if you live near me then its a local business (Shop Local!)! There were so many amazing bouquets I had such a hard time just picking one. You can also find them on facebook 'aNeMonE'. They have so many other options even home decor or a special gift *hint*hint*

Brooch bouquets are beautiful! They range in colors and size making options endless. These beautiful eye candies can be found on Etsy and many other websites. You might remember Miranda Lambert had one for her wedding. The one in the middle was created by Kayleigh Brickey Designs and the brooches were given by the important women in the brides life making the bouquet even more special.

I love these different options. Feathers are inexpensive and an easy DIY. In the first I like that the feathers are miced with some berries and browns. Any of these would be great for a winter wedding but the middle feather bouquet can be used any time of year.

An amazing way to set the mood for an evening wedding. The bridesmaids carry lanterns or candles down the aisle. You could even kick this up a notch and have small candles for all of the guests to hold. Can you imagine the beautiful pictures?

Fabric flowers are another option for a DIY but going to a professional is great because they have perfected their technique. Foxglove Finery is another (kind of) local business that has beautiful fabric bouquets.

I hope this gives you a couple ideas but don't just so here go research some other amazing options and know that there really isn't much that is out of the question. Imagine having a lot of these options as a forever keepsake.
