Bridesmaids Bouquets

I saw another person post a picture of a single rose. I am having my girls walk down with bells. There are also the hoops. Those are pretty popular.

You can also consider non floral ideas or something like origami or buttons or whatever alternative but equally as nice

I'm buying flowers from Trader Joe's! $7 for a dozen roses

Mine will be walking with a single sunflower and a bit of greenery.

I recently saw a picture of bridesmaids who carried baby's breath bouquets and it was beautiful!

I'm planning on each member of my BP carrying a single rose! Might even tie a little ribbon around each rose, too!

We have ours carrying 4 beautiful stems and greenery. Minimal but beautiful!

1) single stem real flower, 2) greenery or herbs, 3) mini lanterns, 4) DIY floral hoops. Not sure the cost of the others but I’ve seen mini lanterns on sale for $5 at various places (Target, Michaels).

I bought my
BM’s a bouquet from Amazon. They were $9 each!! I didnt wanna get fresh flowers because I don’t wanna obligate them to keep tabs on/take them afterwards.

If you want you could do fake silk flowers from the dollar store and make the bouquets yourself then you can make them big or small. If not you can always do the local gorcery store for single flowers or see if they can give you flowers for cheap to make the bouquets yourself. Good luck!

I will be doing something like this for my girls, but with a sunflower.

We are doing something a bit different... We bought a bunch of super cheap floral necklaces online through ebay and took them apart. We then made a flowerless floral bouquet using the enamel flowers, a foam ball, a dowel, ribbon, paint, and silk greenery. Once the first one was made, the rest were easy- provided you have the time and energy to do it. We prefer this because they match our wedding colors, and they are a cool take away gift for our bridesmaids. We are happy with the results because it allowed us to bring a little "us" into them.

Look at "Dutch" bouquets they are smaller yet still cute! Flowers die anyways. Another thing I've seen are flower hoops which are so different but so elegant!

Depending if you are doing real flowers, or authentic. Mine are doing a sunflower with greenery and some red berries. I’ve attended a wedding that used paper flowers. Hers were oversized paper roses. They were pretty too!

Thanks so much, Sinead! These were fun to make and are one of several of our out-of-the-box DIY projects for our big day. Our wedding colors are very summery themed with teal, golden yellow, silver, orange, royal blue, and white. A lot of colors, I know, but we are a lively couple and we love colors! Have you selected your wedding colors yet? What have you gone with?

Oh wow! You certainly do have a lot of colors!! It sounds amazing! 😃

I did smaller bouquets for my girls with a single rose and absolutely loved it! I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a big bouquet even for myself, so having something small, but beautiful was important to me.

Check out your local farms. A lot of times they can make bouquets for cheap.
