Creative Wedding Bouquets Without Flowers

A unique bouquet is a wonderful way to express your personal style. Whether your style is elegant or country, there is a flowerless bouquet you will love. These are ideas on making unique non-floral bouquets.

Bouquets created from brooches are an especially popular type of non-floral accessory. They are created in a nosegay shape from an array of fabulous brooches. A fabulous thing about this type of bouquet is that they can be made to complement any style of bridal gown. Brides who have a passion for sparkle can indulge in a breathtaking bouquet made entirely of crystal brooches to match their crystal bridal jewelry. Colorful brooches, such as those made of blue or pink crystals, are a stunning accent for custom crystal bridal jewelry made with colored Swarovski crystals. Whimsical bakelite brooches could make a cool bouquet with a retro vibe. Try your hand at a DIY brooch bouquet to save money, or order a custom arrangement from a designer.

Instead of a standard bouquet of roses, consider a spectacular feather bouquet. Create an icy look with all white feathers for a mid-winter ceremony. For something more outrageous, how about a peacock feather bouquet? Pick one of the hues in the feathers for your wedding colors. Daring brides can even consider black feather bouquets trimmed in red lace. What a fabulous bouquet for an offbeat bride. You will definitely make an impression on your wedding guests!

Non-floral wedding bouquets can also be very sweet and charming. If this is your taste, you will adore felt flower bouquets. What a sweet bouquet this would be for a rustic celebration. A felt bouquet would be a wonderful labor of love for a DIY bride, or they can be ordered on the Internet. In a similar vein, you can also create a unique bouquet from crepe paper or tissue paper flowers. For a green take on the paper flower bouquet, make the paper blossoms with pages recycled from old books. Use pages from your favorite books.

For a beach wedding, consider a bouquet which is made from shells instead of fresh flowers. Wire together small and large shells for texture and scale. The small shells will also tuck in nicely between larger ones to fill in the gaps. A shell bouquet will make a wonderful keepsake from a beach wedding, and you never have to worry about it wilting in the hot sun. Wrap the handle with a ribbon in a gorgeous azure color which looks like the ocean for the perfect finishing touch.

Let your imagination be your guide. Perhaps your style is a clutch of cattails for a riverside wedding or a bouquet made from seersucker fabric blossoms for a preppy bride. You will feel so special with your one-of-a-kind bouquet.
