What better way to express personality and stand out in the crowd than to create a bouquet made from jewels, feathers, candies, crystals, buttons, shells, fabric, ribbons or other keepsakes? There are endless possibilities to what you can use and create. Personal keepsakes, family heirlooms and treasured items can all be pulled together in an expressive masterpiece!

Customarily, this was a bouquet of flowers, but there are actually tons of other options. These are some suggestions for creative bouquet alternatives for bridesmaids. What you give your bridesmaids to carry in your wedding should reflect the style of your wedding. If you keep that in mind, it will open your eyes to all sorts of non-traditional possibilities. Think about the message you wish to convey, as well as what will look the best with the bridesmaid dresses, your bridal gown, and the ceremony location. Some bouquet alternatives would be perfect in one place, but seem odd in another. Everything should flow together." thefreelibrary.com
