4 Bouquet Alternatives If You Don’t Like Flowers

Having real flowers at your wedding can be a mighty expense. Flowers eat up a big chunk of your wedding budget and while they do a good job of making the room look and smell lovely, they go to complete waste at the end of the night. So perhaps you’re looking to use flowers here and there or to use none altogether. Either way, there’s no need to panic over what you will replace the flowers with when it comes to a bouquet. To help you think of a fun and pretty replacement, here are four alternatives to have a flower-filled bouquet.

 

1. Use Paper Flowers

If you still like the way flowers look, you can opt in and make a bouquet out of alternative flowers or paper flowers. If you love books, the bouquet can be made out of pages from your favorite book or you can use a newspaper or another item that has a special meaning to you.

 

2. Feathers

Feathers can be pulled together to make beautiful centerpieces and even bouquets. You can mix the colors of the fabric so that it makes the bouquet look more full.

 

3.  Stone Broaches

Attach different style, shapes, and colored broaches to a mini-shaped pillow and turn it into a bouquet. This is a perfect alternative for a bride that wants a bold and unique look.

 

4. Balloons

You can mix and match different shaped and sized balloons to make a bouquet that gives off a more youthful and fun overall look. This is a rather unique idea that will save you a lot of money and even make your bouquet something that people talk about long after the wedding is over. You can even use these balloons afterward to fill up space in the wedding venue or decorate the ceiling of the dance floor.
