Try Non-traditional for Your Wedding Flowers

When you think of a wedding, you think of flowers. But that doesn't mean you have to stick with tradition. You can have a unique bridal bouquet by putting a twist on traditional wedding flowers.


Theknot.com has some ideas for your flower arrangements that break from tradition. A few of our favorites:

1. Instead of bouquets, have delicate wreaths created for your bridesmaids to wear in their hair.
2. Furnish guests with pretty paper cones or teeny baskets filled with rose petals to throw instead of rice or confetti.
3. Exotic boutonnieres are bold and sexy and will complement most tuxedos.
4. Silk flowers offer an exquisite post-wedding keepsake that won't fade or dry up.
5. Show a little stem. Ribbon-tied bouquets are very popular right now.
6. For the reception, try decorating free-standing tables (bar, cake table, buffet, or guest book table) with different arrangements.
7. Honor a family member by incorporating their meaningful flowers into your bouquets and arrangements.
