Hi All!

So I'm trying to figure out how to save some bucks and one of the areas I'm finding I can be creative is using alternatives to flowers.

So, here's the challenge:

Anyone have any cool and creative ways to replace the bridesmaid bouquets? I've had people suggest they carry a single rose or a single callalily.

I have a vision in my head of something with photographs but I'm not sure what it is. It's either going to be really tacky or really cool.

Anyone have anything?

Thanks in advance!

What about a pomander. You can make it with or without real flowers, silk flowers, ribbons, etc.
Or maybe a butterfly bouquet, button bouquet, feather bouquet, etc.?Check out some pics:Sorry that last one is so big! But I love the little purses! HTH!

Those are really cute ideas, thank you. It's not exactly what I'm looking for, though. I'm thinking about staying away from the whole flower thing all together.

Anyone else have any ideas?
