Want something more unique than your everyday floral bouquet? Make an impression with these creative ideas for alternative bouquets!


The Brooch Bouquet! 
Miranda Lampert walked down the aisle May 14, 2011 with one of these beautiful and meaningful bouquets. Looking for a way to use something old and something new or just having a bit of heritage as a part of your wedding. The design of brooches are limitless, we promise this look is not hard to fnd! Start with you Mother's and Grandmother's jewelry boxes, antique stores, or even yard sales to complete this vintage look!




















                                                                                                           Theme Bouquets!                                                                                                                                              Tieing the knot in the country? What is more appropriate then buckwheat to add to your rustic look?                                                                                      Or if your venue is on or near the shore, what ties an ocean theme together more than a bouquet of gorgeous seashells?                                                                                                                                                                        Quirky & Fun Bouquets!
Looking for an inexpensive alternative that is simple yet fun?! We found this wire tied bouquet and could not help to think of all the different options you would have with something so simple, add gems to the middle of each flower, use colored wire to add some depth, or even tie in simple brooches, pearls, beads etc...

                                                     
Looking for an less expensive route for the brooch bouquet? Buttons are a great alternative!
Yummy! The lollipop bouquet, but beware you never know how long this one will last!
                                                         
Feathers! One of the most popular trends this years. Add a soft and sultry look to a light flowing gown for an elegant look that will turn heads
Still not impressed? Want something completely out of the box?
we fell in love with the fun and inviting look of the pinwheel!
                                                           
The fan and umbrellas are a great alternative for a summer wedding!
                                          

              Here are a few more that we had to add!
                                                     
My choice would have to be the pomanders! What a great way to put a twist on floral bouquets!
