I am having 6 bridesmaids I began to look for alternatives to the bridesmaids flowers because they can get kind of expensive and I am paying for the flowers without any help. When I was looking for other options I came across bridesmaids holding lanterns with tea candles instead. What are your thoughts on this? We are having a Friday evening service with lots of candles. Any thoughts or suggestions would be great!
Re: Alternatives to bridesmaids flowers
We're not doing flowers either because damn are they expensive! We thought about doing grocery store flowers which would be cheaper but there's no guarantee they'd have what we were looking for the day before or of the wedding. We're doing fake flower balls. Each girl got a styrofoam ball, we picked one cohesive flower, and then they all picked whatever other flowers or embellishments they wanted. I think they're going to look really awesome.
Lanterns sound awesome, but expensive. Good Luck!
