Non-flower weddings what did you use for walking down the aisle

Hi, I am not a flower person and am not really wanting flowers for my wedding but the question is what do I get my bridesmaids to carry while walking down the aisle. I was thinking lanterns but they may not be practical. Please help I need ideas :)

Hi Morgan, 

My name is Monique from Honey Bear Events. Congratulations on your engagement!

You could always use faux flowers with only greenery if you didn't want to use florals. Alternatively, you could also have your bridemaids walk down the aisle with small baskets/ cones with confetti and have them sprinkle the ground for when you walk down. You could also have small lanters with some greenery coming out of them, then have your bridesmaids put them down when they stand next to you, or place them in front of the signing table. Please let me know if I can support you in any other way for your wedding. 

Happy planning!!

Kind regards,

Monique

Hi, allow me to introduce myself, I'm Theola from Royalbox Event Styling and Decoration.  

While lantern is a good idea for your bridesmaids to carry, we also have other alternatives from less flowery options such as hoops, geometric metal or bamboo mini basket with handles. With those options we could probably attach a bit greeneries if you prefer just for an accent. 

Otherwise, for no flower options, I would suggest using parasols, fan or sparkle. 

If you want something really unique we could go for something extraordinary like books, musical instruments for each bridesmaid or other stuff that represent yourself or your hobbies. 

All of those options are best matched with your wedding theme, for instance if you want to go for a glamorous or modern contemporary theme, a geometric metal would suits you better than the bamboo basket. 

Hope this helps, and if you'd like to chat further, please feel free to contact us and we will help you create your dream wedding.

Cheers
