Something DIFFERENT for bridesmaids please!!!

BeckyG83

I am soooo tired of seeing bridesmaids carry glass containers w/ candles, laterns, pinwheels, & bouquets. I want something different! Anybody come up w/ any cool ideas? I am having a church wedding in October.

A sugar pumpkin?  One of those little ones.

Or a "bouquet" of Indian corn?

Ohhhh I love the indian corn idea!  How about a clutch? Do you have a theme?

I like the clutch idea.

How about a basket of mini-gourds?

Goldfish in bowls!  And then you can repurpose them as your centerpieces later at the reception.

How about blowing bubbles? I know weird.

I think a "different" idea is to have them not carry anything.  Have them do cartwheels down the aisle:)

Pomanders, fans, a single large sunflower, or ribbon wands might work.  One idea I considered was to have each carry a meaningful book decorated with ribbon.

Make sure it's something they can hold comfortably, if it's awkward or heavy they'll be shifting it from hand to hand through the ceremony.
