I love the ideas of having flower bouquets....not only are they beautiful but it's traditional. Every wedding you go to the bride/bridesmaids have a bouquet. But would it be so wrong to opt out of this? If I'm trying to save some money, I see flowers as a great way to cut some costs. I would still want floral accents throughout the wedding (centerpieces/ceremony decorations, etc) but the more I think about it the more I like the idea of not having bouquets. The centerpieces are going to be manzanita branches with moss and a few single flower buds attached to the stems...so I'm going for a more rustic/vintage elegant theme. My wedding isn't going to have much of a "traditional" feel to it, at least that's not what I'm aiming for....opinions??
