bouquets

Hi girls, I'm thinking about doing something other than flowers for my bridesmaid bouquets.  I'm trying to save $ and be a little different.  My colors are dark blue and silver.The wedding is in an Aquarium so something underwater related would be good.  And it's in January so a wintery theame would be ok.I'm kind of stumped.Any ideas?Thanks

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
  • I carried an antique muff with a single orchid attached at my first wedding in 1985, as it was in January in Boston.  It was great, because I was able to hide my hanky in it, and the ring for fi.
