No Bridesmaid Bouquets?

I've never understood why it would look awkward with the BMs standing and not having anything to do with their hands, while no one thinks it looks awkward with the GMs standing and not having anything to do with their hands. But if you want BMs to carry something, it could be a single flower, or a parasol, or a clutch, or a book, or whatever you want, really.

I personally hate flower crowns. You can just do a basic bouquet for cheap.

Originally I was going to do lanterns with flameless candles. Then the bridesmaids were going to walk down the aisle and place them so it added some extra decorations.

Plans changed and now we are doing fake flower bouquets that I'm making.
