Alternatives for bridesmaid bouquet

Shave you thought about a single flower “bouquet” with just small greenery or even just a baby’s breath bouquet. That should cut down on costs and you could make those yourself. Also picking flowers that are in season will really help with the cost.

My fiancé and I are also paying for everything ourself. I am going with baby breath bouquets for my 4 maids. They are low in cost, $30 for each bouquet at my florist. Also AC moore does free arrangements, if you wanted to buy silk flowers from there they will arrange them in a bouquet for you for free.

I have an extremely small bridal party, so it was my medium bouquet, my daughter’s small bouquet, 3 corsages and 7 bouts, but I also got another 50 flowers for decor. And it was under $400 on Etsy with the sola wood flowers. She has different promotions and can customize. I haven’t seen the finished project as my order wont be ready until next year, but they look gorgeous and the reviews are quite high.

I was in a wedding that did this and it was so nice

I am doing corsages for my brides maids. I didn't want to have them carry a bouquet that wont have much use.

💐s are not mandatory.

You can diy them if you absolutely have to have them.

I saw some red 👜that had 🌹on them to coordinate with 💃 while watching Four Weddings.

Hobby Lobby has really pretty fake flowers if you want to do your own bouquet. If your not crafty enough to do your own (no judgement - I’m not) they also have preassembled flower bouquet. Every other week their floral goes on sale for 50%.

Mini lanterns are $5-$10 at Michaels, WalMart, Big Lots, Target, etc. Darling look:

I'm doing these for my girls. Its something they can use again. A small clutch.

View Quoted Comment I was thinking of doing this too. But since they are not going to be walking down the aisle with a groom, I want them to hold something. But believe me I so want to go this route. Way cheaper lol

View Quoted Comment This idea I actually like. Seems simple. My baby sister wants to hold a bouquet. I told her my wedding, my way lol. But where did you find those?

View Quoted Comment This is too cute. I'm going to look into it. Way cheaper and my sisters could reuse em. thank you 😁

We had the bridesmaids carry rings that we supplied (cut down on the charge they were $4 a piece on amazon instead of the $20 she was charging us) and we had feathers and moss for fullness (cheaper than greenery) and a few tea roses and we supplied ribbon (it was $3).

We ended up paying around $25 or $30 per ring

Grocery store flowers and just bundle some ribbon around it. If u try you can for sure do something for a couple bucks.

View Quoted Comment Yes, way cheaper. Plus I wanted something they can use again. I was a bridesmaids before and I end up throwing away the bouquets after a while.

We attended a budget-friendly wedding where the bride incorporated her Japanese heritage - she and her bridesmaids walked down the aisle with beautifully decorated paper fans.

View Quoted Comment Yay. You’re welcome.

My BMs and MOH are each carrying a single white rose with a ribbon tied around the stem!
