To have a bouquet or to not have a bouquet??

I have been going back and forth on whether or not to walk down the aisle with a bouquet or not, but just not sure how it will look. My thoughts behind it are (1) I truly am not too into flowers so it is not a major deal to me and (2) I am having both my parents walk me down the aisle so I am already going to have one parent on each arm/hand so I think my bouquet would get in the way. Has anyone seen/done this before? Thanks Smile

    If you think it will be in the way and you don't want one, then don't have one Smile 
    I don't like flowers either (allergies/scent-related headaches) so I'm having a brooch bouquet made instead.

    It is a good idea to have something to hold so your hands don't fidget.  Emotions will be running high and having something to hold will help.

    I completely agree if you don't want one then don't worry about it, but nervous hands are definitely a possibility. Maybe have something on hand in case you decide you want it. Melania Trump held only a rosary when she walked down the aisle, that might be an option. I've seen fabric flowers as well that would be a pretty inexpensive option.

    I'm deciding the same thing, only I'm leaning towards not having one. FI's mom and grandma both carried the same white Bible down the aisle so I'm probably going to see if I can borrow that. :)

    I didn't have flowers.  I figured that I was going to have to, as soon as we started the ceremony, to put them down, because in our tradition, we hold hands, crossed, right with right, left with left.  So, it would have been a huge waste of money.  I think it will look fine if you're clasping hands, or arms with your parents.  And once you're having the ceremony, hopefully you'll be holding his hand.  So, no room for a bouquet anyway.

    I wasn't too keen on a bouquet because I didn't want to have fresh flowers (while they can look nice I just feel they're such a waste). In the end I decided on a silk flower/brooch bouquet, which will be a keepsake. If you don't feel the need to have one, don't feel you have to!
