I decided to go with dkdesigns for the clay flower bouquets. I ordered corsages (for my aunt, grandmothers, SIL, FMIL, MOB, Sister), and a few table short/small table pieces for the cocktail tables. I was planning on gifting them to our guests. I like giving/having sentimental items in the house... So I can't wait to save my bouquet for our kids to see... =o) (not to mention just to look at from time to time and have it fester up fond memories of our day)
@ Sparkles- I love those clay flower bouquets. I considered getting one as a cake topper!

I never even know about using feathers in bouquets before my wedding, but wish I had some a la Mrs. Leopard. Here's one I found of all feathers that's really pretty:
I wrote a post on bouquets, with some unique alternatives. http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/11/21/a-bouquet-of-flowers/
In the end I ended up not having a bouquet at all. Hubby and I decided to do a lei ceremony and I didn't want to have to spend $$ on a bouquet (that I would only hold for 30 minutes) and a lei. So we totally ditched the bouquet.

These aren't necessarily traditional, but I could see something like these being popular at some point:
I will have a non traditional bouquet. My wedding is going to have Victorian undertones to it. My BMs will be carrying Tussie Mussie's with flowers in them.
My mother has this little box that is antique that holds the Lords Prayer Book and the I think the Old Testiment. It is a very nice antique/Victorian feel to it. I will be adding a small amount of spray roses and some ribbon to it to match.

Congrats Ms Sushi! My DIY bouquet should be done by tomorrow and I will post pics, feathers and vintage rhinestones and I like the idea of the keepsake too. I love the ones by Amanda1986 on Etsy like this:

@LadyChristine- I had my BMs carry Tussie Mussie's as well. It looked very nice. I love the antique box! That's a great idea and should tie in nicely with the BMs bouquets! I hope you'll post pictures when you have some.
@tmarie- Looking forward to seeing the finished product!
These are so cool!
I would love a beach wedding so that seashell bouquet is really interesting, but I'd probably be poking myself and others with it the whole time.....so a feather bouquet might be a better idea (less dangerous!)
@ lilindy: I love the lily-of-the-valley bouquet. Those are my sister's favorite flowers, and our mom has a field of them in the backyard :)
@ Lilindy & Miss Stellar: I was about to ask what kind of flower that first bouquet was made of (the picture with the bride sitting down,) is that lilly of the valley? I love it!
i've seen / heard of brides carrying a candle down the aisle at dusk (love that one!), or carrying a bible or other old special book decorated prettily instead of a bouquet
there are so many options!
I'm planning on making a brooch bouquet. Luckily I'm a waiting bee with the boyfriend who is on board (his mother too - she bought me 30).

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I know this is the flowers board but...
There are so many alternatives to the traditional floral bouquet!
Laura27 just posted about an unusual bouquet option she found on Etsy:

I've seen a lot of great, non-traditional bouquets:
Felt and flowers (http://www.weddingbeepro.com/author/princesslasertron/)
Seashells:

There are origami bouquets, candy bouquets, dried flowers, paper flowers, the list goes on and on.
Is anyone carrying a non-traditional bouquet? Or carrying something instead of a bouquet? Anyone carrying a traditional bouquet secretly in love with something different?
