Bridesmaid bouquets

My mom suggested that we could cut the bridesmaid bouquets to cut cost but I don’t know how that would relate in pictures with them just standing there with nothing to hold!
Part of me agrees on cutting the cost and part of me just can’t picture it.

Does anyone have any suggestions for cheaper bridesmaid bouquets?

    I got mine from Etsy. They Sola wood flowers with silk flowers. I didn't want to spend so much on real flowers just to throw them out. Plus i'd like to keep my bouquet and the wood flowers gives the girls an option to keep theirs too!

    another option I would suggest Michael's. They're always having sales on silk flowers.

    Some brides do just corsages for their bridesmaids or even the Circle rings with flowers on them. If you look on Pinterest they have tons of alternative ideas!

    A small simple bouquet is probably the way to go. Then they're also not lugging around a huge bunch of flowers. Our's our very simple and done with silk flowers. Here is an "in progress" shot. The finished bouquets are wrapped and tied with green and purple ribbons.

    Some flowers are more expensive than others in and of themselves, too - you can look into less expensive types of flowers (my bridesmaids bouquets were Gerbera daisies)

    I've seen brides do bouquets of only greenery that I love! You could do that for your bridesmaids and add a few flowers to just your bouquet. I've attached a picture below. It would cut costs way down!

    I honestly didn’t even know you could order bouquets from amazon so this is a great idea to look into!

    I love the look of this simple one! I feel like it’s so dainty and then you don’t have to worry about wasting a bunch of flowers!

    You could try your local supermarket for cheaper flowers.
    I’ve also seen fun alternative ideas like holding cotton candy or lanterns or puppies/kittens from a local shelter that need homes!

    I have seeing more and more of the clutch trend and is definitely different but if you can pull it off is cute on pics. This can be part of your present for them as well so is something they’ll always remember. I’ll make sure is one that hangs a little so is easier to carry. You can do personalized or even matching ones.

    It was really easy to find. I just typed in purple bridal bouquet and hundreds showed up. I would just watch getting any from china. I had ordered a toss bouquet that never showed up. I did get a refund though and found one I liked better.

    The first quote that I got for my bridesmaids flowers was 1 hydrangea and 3 roses and that was going to cost me $20 each. Idk what your budget is but maybe ask your nearest florist and look at options

    Mine will be carrying a large single flower with a ribbon. Cut costs and will be a cute keepsake for them! The “flower” is made from a local vendor who uses wood, paper, and other recycle able materials so they will last forever

    I decided on attempting to make my own. I will be using pinterest as a guide with my matron of honor, and we will use artificial flowers first to see how it works. Then use real flowers the actual day to make our bouquets. Pintrest has lots of ideas!
