Bridesmaids- What Else Can They Carry?

I`m getting married at a flower ranch and therefore am required to use their florist. I`m on a budget (aren`t we all?) and was planning on having a friend do my flowers. I`m not prepared to spend a lot of money on flowers as they aren`t my highest priority and was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what bridesmaids could carry other than flowers. Thanks!

What time is your wedding? I`ve heard of bridesmaids carrying candles at evening weddings, that might work for you.

Bridesmaids can carry fans, flower balls( you can use very cheap flowers and a styrofoam ball, then make a handle out of ribbon, single flower.

My bridesmaids are carrying little bogs out of frabric that I have made. I just made a small pocket type purse/bag and took monogrammed ribbon and made the handles. The ribbon has my financees and my name on it along with the wedding date. Then you can just make a small arangment inside of it. They are easier to carry and also it something that they can use as a keepsake. (Because of the ribbon)
