Well there was a post earlier of a beatiful bouquet of babys breath that looked gorgeous! That def will not break the bank.
Would you consider silk flowers? Also I once saw a wedding pics where the BMs had lanterns. I will post it if I can find it.
I've seen more devout brides carrying holy books or prayer beads. I've also seen fancy feather fans. I was very keen on a bouquet of handmade paper flowers myself until my mother threw a fit and I decided to give in and let this one go. You could even carry a candle and then do something with it once you got up there--incorporate it into your own little ceremonial flourish.
Couldn't find the picture I was thinking of with the lanterns but I did find a different idea. It's from a past weddingbee bride. She made her bouquet from fabrics, ribbons, and pendants. Her BMs had fans. Here are two pics and a link to her blog. (Her wedding passed already, so you'll have to search her blog for wedding ideas)

Oh yeah...I almost forgot my favorite part of her bouquet. She used feathers!
I like the idea of lanterns. I'll probably end up just going to costco or some grocery store and having them do up two bouquets (one for my sister and one for me). Cost of the wedding is quickly rising to unexpected heights. Thanks for the input! I'll have to look into silk flowers. Hopefully they're cheap!
Me and my 'maids are going to carry paper parasols down the aisle (although it's an outdoor wedding). Maybe that would be an option for you.
I already had my BM's flowers set and was alreayd in love with the flowers for them. I did see these on the knot.com and loved the look. You could really do the same look of the balls but with different materials based on your wedding theme.

I like the idea of the flower balls. Some brides use items that are sentimal to them, or have you considered getting a corsage. Here is a link to an article about bouquet alternatives. Good luck!

I don't want to waste money on any flowers but I'm not sure what I should hold in my hands for the procession, if anything. Anyone have any ideas?
