A Couple Cool Flower Ideas

If you’re looking for a great way to make your wedding a little different and memorable try one of these ideas for your flowers.

Most brides carry bouquets these days, but there was a time when girls carried flowers on lace fans, lace parasols, and candles. This idea grew from that tradition. Get a small purse and cover it with the flowers you wish to carry. This not only gives your flowers a new look, but you also get to carry your  purse with you where you can keep your lipstick,id’s, and other small essentials you might need!

The next flower idea involves your throw away bouquet. I know in movies and in some circles the tradition is for the bride to throw her actual wedding bouquet, but here in the Midwest brides don’t want to part with that. They have a second smaller bouquet made up for throwing during the reception. A fun way to treat the second throw away bouquet is to gather up individual flowers with long stems and tie a big bow to only one of the flowers. Without anyone seeing gather up and hold the flowers together as if they were connected to one another. Throw as usual and what will happen is the flowers will scatter and enable multiple girls to catch them. As for the tradition of who will be married next, the girl who catches the one with the bow of course!
