This morning I stumbled upon some absolutely fantastic, unusual and alternative ideas for wedding bouquets! Ok, so you're getting married and maybe you suffer from hay fever...or...you just don't like the idea of paying all that money for flowers that unfortunately die soon after your wedding day that you can't hold onto as a keepsake...well, here are some great alternative ideas!
This beauty is recycled papers rolled to look like little roses...isn't is gorgeous?! I'm sure this could be relatively easy to fashion yourself, though I'm sure there are lots of companies who specialise in bespoke, alternative bouquet designs.

Why not consider a cupcake bouquet?! Maybe it's not such a great idea if you're walking down the aisle on a hot summer's day (the horror of icing all over your beautiful dress!), however, if you're planning on giving bouquets to family and friends as wedding thank you gifts, then why not consider one of these gorgeous alternatives for those with a sweet tooth?

The beauty of these unusual wedding bouquets is that you can easily coordinate them with the location or theme of your wedding. Take this sea shell bouquet as an example; wouldn't this be perfect if you were getting married by the sea?

If you haven't quite got the budget for a bespoke bouquet, then why not give it a whirl and see if you can make one yourself. Collect buttons, broaches, ribbons...anything that catches your eye. It could be a lovely little project that you start a few months before the wedding and the best bit is that it won't wilt and you either get to keep it or give it to someone as a gift!
Happy wedding planning!
