If so, what?

I was thinking of getting mine to carry lace fans, to match my dress.. what do you guys think? Anyone have any pics of BMs carrying fans? Or anything other than flowers? my dress is Rivini thirteen, and is all lace, and I wanted to do something other than flowers.. ideas?

Thanks ladies!

My grandmother had her BMs carry these small glass globe type things with a lit candle inside. This was like 20 years ago haha, but I still remember that and think it was very neat.

At one wedding I attended the girls carried peacock feather fans and the effect was gorgeous.

Are you getting married outside? Maybe lacey parasols?

My girls are carrying clutches as well. I saw in the magazine a clutch that actually resembles a flowerhead (note to self need to get the source and order). I've also seen the ladies carry ribbons, or candles.

Huneybun that sounds awesome. I was going to have my girls carry clutches but toying with the idea of lanterns. Since I am getting married in Nov. and the sun would be starting to set during my ceremony that could look really nice I think. They could place them on the alter area for the ceremony.

I went to an Asian wedding with fans that were quite pretty and also another wedding recently where they carried clutches.
