Bridal bouquets are one of the few elements that are a part of almost every wedding regardless of the size of the budget. Considering that most bridal bouquets start at $150 and many cost around $250 – this is one area where you might want to look for alternatives without giving up style.
There are a number of ways you can do this and the first we’re going to explore is the single bloom option. Using one large bloom is cost effective and can be quite dramatic as shown in the following photo.
Alternately, you can choose to hold a delicate small bouquet that packs a punch. Choose a fabulous holder like the silver “Tussy Mussy” or an unusual arrangement.

The next option is to use inexpensive flowers. It might be surprising just how good they can look. Tulips with extra long stems wrapped in ribbon during their growing season would be a great choice. Carnations, generally thought of as looking cheap, are actually lush when grouped tightly together as you can see!

If you are adverse to using flowers at all, then the non-flower options available are endless. Here are a few.
Cotton Bouquet | Yarn Bouquet | Wheat Bouquet | Fabric Bouquet | Pinecone Bouquet | Wheat and Pod Bouquet | Paper Bouquet
The benefit to using non-floral arrangements is that they can be created in advance without any last minute stress. You are only limited by your imagination!
Hope you liked these ideas!
