Wedding Bouquets: Off the beaten path

Non-Traditional Wedding Bouquets

The wedding bouquets below may be off the beaten path, but that path is still beautiful. Wheat stalks, wire and old jewelry are just some objects that can be converted into an elegant and surprising wedding touch.

Vintage Jewelry Bouquet

I love the vintage jewelry bouquet. This would be an incredibly cheap option, as you could comb through your local Salvation Army and thrift stores, for fun costume jewelry. You could also incorporate your mother and grandmother’s jewelry that you didn’t want to necessarily wear around your neck. A jewelry bouquet would be great for a winter wedding in a traditional church. It’s very regal and stately. It’s also a style that indie brides and unconventional brides will love, for it’s off the cuff nature.

Wheat Stalks Bouquet

The wheat stalks bouquet tugs at my heart strings since I grew up in rural North Dakota. I find the simple wheat stalks with the lavender stalks mixed in absolutely breathtaking. For a hometown, small town wedding this would be beautiful. A wheat wedding bouquet would also be a nice touch for a Summer or Fall wedding which has golds, greens and earth tones incorporated. But as you can see the wheat presentation is so pretty it could really work for any wedding theme.

Wire Bouquet

And the really wild and unconventional bouquet is the wire bouquet. I found this at Etsy.com as part of Refinerii’s collection, so check all the bouquet’s out. This is for an edgy bride definitely. You can really push the limits with this bouquet. I envision this as a winter bouquet, with some crystals attached. An excellent bouquet choice for the bride who doesn’t like girliness or frill.

Pinwheel Wedding Bouquet

This bouquet is the ultimate whimsical touch. If you want bright colors and a refreshing change from the traditional flower bouquet, a pinwheel could be a cute touch. Incorporate this into a Summer or Spring wedding when pastels, yellows and bold pinks are in your palette.

Paper Bouquets

Etsy has revolutionized the wedding scene. Now you can find sellers with the most unique ideas and handmade wedding items. Paper bouquets and cute wedding poms are all over Etsy now, as  a great alternative bouquet idea. Plus, they are usually more affordable and come in a wide variety of colors.

Fabric Bouquet

I adore this bouquet, as I’m a devoted shabby chic fan. Anything that’s a little bit country makes me swoon. This fabric wedding bouquet is a little off beat but still pretty and bridal. And, it can be saved as an heirloom for years.

Well, enjoy these ideas. Post others if you have them! I’m always looking for great bouquets to showcase.

Herb and Dried Flower Bouquets

The last two bouqets are from Etsy Seller NHWoodscreations. They combine dried flowers and herbs and even birch wood baskets. Again, these have the shabby chic feel and country vibe. Great for an outdoor affair on a hot summer day.
