Bridesmaids bouquet HELP!!

I'm having an outdoor country wedding and I'm trying to find something for my bridesmaids to hold other then flowers? Any ideas?

Re: Bridesmaids bouquet HELP!!

  • How country is your theme? What about sun hats?
  • Could they just carry a bunch of lavendar tied with a simple ribbon?
  • Wheat bunches would look pretty and country.

  • I saw something recently with bunches of cotton that looked kind of cool. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • A single stem could look informal.
  • Baby's breath bouquets.
  • You could do pinwheels, or combine a pinwheel with any of the things mentioned above (cotton sounds awesome!) to add color?

    OP, is there a reason you don't want flowers besides cost? This is what I'm planning on doing, but they are technically flowers so idk if that helps...

    Also, the pinwheel idea is super cute.

  • Cotton sounds cool... I'm not sure if my BM's are going to hold anyting. I have no clue what I'm doing and its almost 6 months away. I'm about to say screw it wear what you want hold what you want I don't care I just want to be in my mans arms all night long! I know that doesn't help at all!

  • Cute little baskets? One sunflower? I love the cotton idea....
    Oooh what about those little sicks with a bandana pouch on the end that you see in movies when someone is running away? (i hope someone knows what i'm talking about)
    A little gas lantern?

    Do you not want flowers for cost reasons or do you just dislike them?

    I'm making baby's breath bouquets which will be very inexpensive. I also like the pinwheel, cotton bolls, and one sunflower idea. Parasols might be cute too.

  • What about wheat? I think I'm going to use lavender.

  • A horseshoe? A drawstring wristbag? Fan? Hats?
  • It may not be an issue, but I would just make sure none of your guest would be offended by cotton.  In its raw, just picked form, it simply doesnt ring as warm and romantic to certain people.
  • How about bouquets of dried grasses?  I made some bunches for centerpieces but they can be carried instead.  If you are interested, let me know. kaylisma@gmail.com
