Flowers aren’t every bride’s idea of a perfect wedding day\u00a0bouquet. Luckily for the non-traditional bride, there are\u00a0an increasing number of alternatives popping up which can\u00a0allow brides to express their personality without compromising on style. Here are some of our favourite\u00a0unconventional bridal bouquets.<\/p>\n

Feathers<\/h2>\n

Lightweight and ever-lasting, feather arrangements can be as bold and colourful as any floral bouquet. You can opt for an array of multi-coloured feathers or perhaps follow a more classic direction by utilising soft white feathers dispersed amidst sprigs of crystal.<\/p>\n

Brooch yourself<\/h2>\n

Get thrifty with antiquated brooches, uncoupled earrings, bandless watches, and any other trinkets stashed away in your sewing kit for a rainy day. Sneak in your ‘something blue’, stick to a vintage theme, or keep with tradition and use floral-only ornaments.<\/p>\n

Beach babe<\/h2>\n

You may not be able to walk down the aisle in a mermaid tail, but you can channel your inner sea princess with a bouquet of the ocean’s finest offerings. Stick with a single variety, or mix things up with a combination of sea shells in different sizes and colours.<\/p>\n

Experimental<\/h2>\n

Minimalists will appreciate this wire interpretation of a floral bouquet, which is carefully adorned with crystals and pearls; a soft and feminine touch to an otherwise industrial accessory. We should probably advise against throwing this blindly into a crowd of people.<\/p>\n

Paper perfect<\/h2>\n

Crochet bouquet<\/h2>\n

Get grandma involved in the wedding planning<\/a> and assign her the task of crocheting a bouquet. Perfect for the vintage bride, a crochet bouquet is also a great opportunity to display ‘something old’, like an ivory pearl or pretty ribbon.<\/p>\n
