Single rose bridesmaids bouquet?

Summer, on June 29, 2012 at 12:42 AM Posted in Planning 0 18

So due to me losing my job on Monday our budget has been cut. And We can't afford bouquets for 8 bridemaids. So would it look good to just have the girls carry a single rose with a ribbon? Has anyone done this? Do you have pictures?

And should I do the maid and matron of honor with 2 roses each?

    That's a great option. Very romantic.

    Is there anything else that distinguishes your maid and matron of honor? If so, I love all carrying a single rose. If they are all the same, then that would be a good way to distinguish them.

    I think it's classic and beautiful. Do it!

    If I had bridesmaids, this would probably be something I would consider just because I think it's beautiful.

    Thanks!! I think thats what I'm going to do!

    Maid of honor is wearing chocolate brown and matron is wearing champagne. Bridesmaids are wearing champane with chocolate brown sash.

    Sounds nice. Are you going with white roses?

    This is something I thought about doing also. I was also considering having them each carry a diffrent color rose...being that every color has a diffrent meaning...and have the MOH carry one of each rose plus a color of her own as a part of her bouquet.

    I'm doing pink roses. What color ribbon should I do? Would the brown look good since they are wearing champagne dresses?

    That should look nice. Pink and chocolate is classic and the champagne is a nice neutral. I'd get a couple different colors of ribbon to play around with. See what catches your eye.

    I don't know if you'd see the brown super well on the rose, maybe do a champagne ribbon if you want it to stand out more or even pink to match the roses.

    In my sister's wedding we carried a single more tropical looking flower that went with the dresses. It can be very nice. You can even have them put their roses in your bouquet after they walk down the aisle

    I was having my BM's carry 3 roses... but I like the romantic look of the single rose! Very beautiful!

    My friend did this, and let me tell you, as her MOH, it was a lot easier when it came time to pass down bouquets (hers to me and mine to the next one) it was so much easier for the next bridesmaid than it would have been with bigger bouquets

    You aren't just being frugal, you're being considerate

    I love the idea and I was going to do a single calla lilly but everyone wanted more so they are getting fake ones to make up the bouquet.

    You could always embellish the ribbon with some beads to give an extra flair too. Smiley smile A few beads at the ends of the ribbon.
