Flower alternatives - We're doing all felt and paper flowers, but if you want absolutely no flowers, I know pin wheels are trendy. You should check out Offbeat Bride too, because they have lots of tagged posts about what to do instead. I think one bride had her bridesmaids carry lanterns, another carried barbies, etc. My girls are going to carry one giant crepe paper flower each. I found the tutorial at Martha Stewart's website. She has tons of ideas there too.
Thank you so much! I thought about paper flowers but I don’t think I’m crafty enough for that haha. One of my bridesmaids had the idea of carrying balloons which could be super cute. I’ll definitely look into Off Beat Bride and Marth Stewart’s sites too!
Any ideas out there for flower alternatives? I don't think I want a single flower if I can help it...
“In eleventh-century England, a bride would distribute ale to her wedding guests in exchange for donations to the newlyweds. This brew, known as Bride Ale, is the origin of the word ‘bridal’.”
