Interesting...but what will the bridesmaids do with their hands? The main plus of bouquets IMO is that it gives you something to hold on to while you're standing.
The pic you posted looks perfect for a Hawaiian or a beach wedding to me. Reminds me of leis.
I have never seen anything like this! Though I agree with Chelseamorning--it may seem a little bit awkward to not hold anything in their hands.
What do your bridesmaids think of the idea?
I have to agree w/ chelseamorning and Lattelove - I would feel awkward up there w/ nothing to hold.
I guess I should have explained - we're not having a traditional ceremony so my bridesmaids will not enter on their own or stand in front of a crowd.
Instead of my father "walking me down the aisle", my two bridesmaids and I will walk the distance of the castle drive together and once we arrive, I'll join my H2B and they will join the rest of the crowd for the ceremony.
Ithink its a great idea. I would go with whatever you and the girls like best.
Ps. I want to get flowers for them to signify their status but a bouquet just doesn't make sense because they will need their hands free -the champagne will be served immediately following the "I dos"!
I've seen BM with corsage and no bouquets. I don't have any pictures though. As a guest, I don't think I would really notice. As a BM, the only time I "needed" to hold the bouquet in the ceremony. I don't think bouquets are a requirement, but I would still ask your BMs what they like.
Here are some pics from my google search:

This is the 1st I'm seeing of these 'flower bracelets' and I really like them. I need something for the woman holding poles of my Chuppah and that might be just the thing! Thanks so much for sharing.
I think that's a really cute idea :) especially if you’re not having the walk down the aisle kind of ceremony
We were married on Valentine's Day this year, so wrist corsages for the girls saved us money on flowers and kept their hands free for hugs, holding baskets and programmes, carrying the veil and all the other little tasks bridesmaids so graciously perform.
We avoided the girls feeling awkward without bouquets by getting the guys involved. Weddings around here tend to have one to three attendants on each side; we broke the mold with three for him and five for me. The two groomsmen left FI's side to 'collect' two of the girls each and escort them down the aisle, then the BM escorted the MoH, followed by moi.
Let's see if uploading will work today. Hang on...
I like the ones that hang down a little bit as well - shorter but similar to the single rose that cristina aguilera wore in her wedding. or just a simple ribbon around the wrist with some flowers on the top portion - i think i am diy'ing the mother's crosages that way.
i think it's a really cute idea! i just saw this wedding in SMP the other day and the girls had corsages.
ok. so did not mean to post all the pictures. ooops. oh well. i love this wedding. it's so cotton candy.
I absolutely love the floral bracelets! That way it will stay on, and you don't ever have to worry about where you put your bouquet or keep up with it. And as for what to do with your hands, just place one on top of the other and put them in front! I think it is gorgeous!
I think it's nice! As to what to do with one's hands, what do the groomsmen do? Do the same thing. :)
i love the corsage in the picture!!!! my moh's chose corsages i was pleased
I love corsages! I still have everyone from all my high school dances! I agree, they are a cute idea...but what would the bridesmaids do with their hands for pictures, walking down the isle, and during the ceremony. I always think girls look so awkward standing with hands clasp in front.
So...cons: awkward! But like someone said, it would make other task for bridesmaids more simple because they would have two hands!
We had the florist make the two girls in our house party (not bridesmaids, but honor attendants kind of like a girl usher) wrist corsages to let their hands be free, but I didn't want them to be grandma ish corsages, so they were single large blooms (I think either spider mums or dahlias) on a ribbon that tied in a bow. I don't have a pic, but it was simple, young, and modern.

Are any brides using bracelet style corsages instead of bouquets for your maids? Something along this line:
