You’ll Die for These Wedding Bouquet Alternatives
Wedding bouquet alternatives are oh-so-hot right now. Why? Because they’re gorgeous, obviously, and they have the bonus of not being the same thing that everyone else is doing (namely, flower bouquets).
Bouquet alternatives come in two common flavors: brooch and button, and maaaaaaan do we have some cute pics to show you! But there are also other cute options you should consider. Basically, if you can carry it in your hands, it can work for bridal bouquet alternatives or even for your bridesmaids!
A bunch of fluffy feathers? A cute clutch? Candle-lit lanterns for a romantic evening ceremony? Nothing at all? As an alternative bride, you are not restricted to carrying a fragrant fistful of flowers, so don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Enjoy these amazing pictures that we hope will inspire your little socks off.
Wedding Bouquet Alternatives: Brooches, Buttons, and More!
Brooch bouquets are hothothot in the wedding world today and for good reason. Seriously, could these wedding bouquet alternatives BE any cuter? Bonus: you can make these extra special keepsakes by using hand-me-down brooches… something old, something borrowed, something new, and maybe even something blue (if you pick the right brooch!)…check, check, check, and check.
Go colorful and cute like the one above or choose blingier brooches for a sparkly, vintage charm. If you want, you can even incorporate brooches and flowers together, like this bride did:
If you’re shopping for bouquet alternatives but brooches aren’t calling your name, try a button bouquet. They are equally different, equally cute, and easy to customize based on your wedding colors. You can even add special, sentimental buttons from various family members and the wedding party or from some of you and your hubby’s favorite clothes or toys growing up… the possibilities are only limited by the bajillion different types of buttons you can find out there.
Beyond Buttons and Brooches: More Bridal Bouquet Alternatives
You can do a lot with fabric, feathers, paper, and more. Check out some of these amazing bridal bouquet alternatives perfect for alternative brides:
This handmade pinwheel is beyond adorable and ideal for a sweet summer wedding.
Fabric flowers made from cute buttons and sentimental scraps of fabric can make a bouquet that will last forever (which is great, since you’ll want to keep it forever, too). Why not collect fabric from your fave people, a childhood blankie, grammy’s handkerchief… you get the idea.
Yep, it’s official: I love these hand-sewn bouquet alternatives made from ribbon are awesome, especially for budget brides. You can choose fabric ribbon that matches your wedding vision then create these lovelies for yourself or your bridesmaids (or both!).
Roses made from sheet music adorned with feathers, ribbon, and lace give a unique-yet-vintage feel to this gorgeous bouquet.
