Planning your bouquet is such a fun decision. Usually it involves thinking about the bridesmaid bouquets, too, and also any button holes you might be having. The bouquets are such a big design choice for your wedding that couples normally have an idea of colour schemes and other décor choices before they start planning their bouquets.

Planning bouquets usually goes hand in hand with flowers, though more and more brides are opting for the coolest bouquets created from almost anything and everything. These non-flower bouquets are the ultimate for injecting your personality into your big day. They’re also lovely as keepsakes; not being made from perishable blooms means you can keep your bouquet – as can you bridesmaids – as a reminder of your wedding day.

If you are having a beach wedding, you have such great scope for these type of bouquets. A bouquet of shells is such a beautiful sight and you can feel complete ownership over the bouquet; picking and choosing the shells as you would do blooms in a flower bouquet. Even if your bridesmaids have a floral arrangement, this could be a nice nod to you being the belle at the helm. There are also some gorgeous designs for button holes with shells.

 Some other choices would be a bouquet of feathers, pompoms, and décor items such as the beautiful butterflies above. It can be completely down to you; how it represents your personality as a woman or the bigger picture of you and your partner as a couple. It can be a sentimental choice, but also a playful one, and something definitely to consider if you haven’t got your heart set on flowers.
