Alternative to the traditional BM bouquets

[autjo]

I saw some pics of bridemaids carrying lanterns and it was really cute. I also think little mini bird cages would be a fun alternative if you had a love bird theme.

Thanks for the great ideas

I wanted parasols for my BMs...but worried about the wind factor. Do these hold up well in high wind?

A seashell bouquet would be SO cute!

Theknot.com has nylon parasols on sale now for $5.99 or $4.99 I think if you wanna take a peek. Good luck.

ive seen both the parasols and single flowers, they both look stunning and the parasols always look great for the 'fun' group pictures. Dont dismiss the fake flowers immediately thou, they have got alot better over recent years. The real touch in particular look brilliant and are a fracture of the price of real ones. Good luck with everything whatever you choose

I think fans or parasols are a great idea.

You can have your bridesmaids carry pinwheels. Really pretty if your ceremony is at a beach.

I've seen died wheat stalk tied together with a ribbon and it was really pretty...But, I do like the idea of pinwheels...I think that I'm going to do that!
