No flowers?

I was wondering if anyone has been to a wedding where the bridal party did not have flowers.  I found a really great gem/brooch bouquet on etsy so I won't be having a bridal flower bouquet, and it got me thinking....do the bridesmaids necessarily need flowers?  Has anyone been to a wedding where they didn't have anything?  Our colors are lavender and black and the guys are going to have silk lavender handkerchefs (sp?) nicely folded in their suit pocket instead of bouts.  We will still do MOG/MOB pin on corsages.  It isn't necessarily a money saving technique, I just don't see the need for them.  Would my girls look silly not carrying something?  Advice please?  THANKS!

    I was a bridesmaid where we didn't carry anything.  When the video came back all of the wedding party was fidgeting with their hands.     I have been a bridesmaid where we carried items other than flowers.  These included a clutch, a parasol, a pinwheel, a banner and a purse.

    I went to a flowerless wedding and didn't miss the flowers at all.  The bride carried a fabric flower and brooch bouquet and the BM carried clutches.

    Clutches, fans, candles, baskets of greenery for a garden wedding, feathers, and sheaves of what looked like beach grass...but something to do with their hands  Wink
    My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!

    The only real flowers that I'm having at our wedding is my bouquet.  I made all the boutennieres/corsages ;)  My girls will have parasols~!

    I went to a cousin's wedding 2 years ago and she didn't have any flowers at all. She made a jeweled bouquet for her and her BM's. For her CP's she had a floating candle. I don't think you have to have flowers, but I'd give them something to hold.
