No Flowers, Now What

Does anybody have any ideas for a bouguet that is not made out of a flowers? I`m not a big flower person, so I would like to use something different. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You could do all greens -- my sister did that for her wedding and it was gorgeous. I don`t know what sort of greens they were but all the centerpieces had what looked like ferns around them (they weren`t ferns, but I dont` know a darn thing about plant-things). Check with your florist he/she will have suggestions. Also, your florist can use leaves (they spray paint them the colors of your wedding) and other items in lieu of flowers (ie, berries, twigs, bulbs, etc). It`s amazing what florists can do with different items.

I too am not doing much in regards to actual flowers. I`m getting married this December and am doing a lot of holly, twigs, leaves, and berries.

Good luck!

Have you seen the `crystal` bouquets that are in many of the accessory magazines? At first I thought they were a little tacky, but I`ve seen them all over the web lately (the knot, exclusively weddings etc.). They`re actually very pretty, and you can have them made with swarovski crystals (clear or colored) or pearls. I`m actually going to make a less expensive one myself. If you have any questions, please e-mail me.
