Bridesmaid’s Bouquets

Written by~Natalie Dew

Who says a Bridesmaid’s accessory has to be a flower bouquet? With all of the new accessory trends we are seeing, it’s the perfect time to try something fun with the girls you most love.

-A beaded bouquet is sure to draw a lot of attention, as well as look completely unique. You could try glass bead flowers in your bouquet, or go completely one-of-a-kind and just have funky strands of beads!

-Paper bouquets are a great solution for the bride who does not plan to have flowers as a large part of her budget. It also allows for complete color customization, as well as a bouquet that will never wilt or die! Some brides also love a little more hands-on approach to crafting personal parts of their wedding, and hand making your bouquets could not provide a better opportunity.

-Believe it or not, wooden flowers are amazingly beautiful. In most cases, the wood is shaved into the petals of the flowers, making an absolutely beautiful bouquet. This would be especially perfect for a vintage-style or wedding in the woods.

Or, if you’re feeling more traditional, try these ways to make your beautiful bouquets even more unique.

-Add some fun vintage charms to the wrap of your stems.

-Try wrapping your stems with a funky ribbon. Most craft stores have beautiful patterns, as well as different fabrics and textures, like lace and velvet. This can also add a detailed element to the season of your wedding.

-Rather than the usual bunch, display the flowers in baskets, or purses, to make the bouquet cute and convenient! I, personally, am a huge fan of the wrist-let flower-balls that are very trendy right now!

-Add feathers to the flowers, or try making your whole bouquet from these beautiful wisps.
