Believe it or not, some brides aren’t a fan of flowers. Some even opt to carry nothing down the aisle on their big day. However, if you want to try something different on your wedding day, or aren’t a fan of plants, then here are some alternatives to carry with you:
Vintage Parasol
One of the hottest trends to replace flowers is to take a vintage parasol down the aisle! Of course, you might not want to carry an open parasol in an indoor venue (if you’re superstitious), but instead, this would be the perfect alternative for an outdoor wedding!
Not only will a parasol add a bit of retro elegance to your big day, but you won’t worry as much when placing it down — unlike a bouquet of flowers. Indeed, if you can’t find a vintage parasol, you can go online and find some inspired versions for a fraction of the cost!
Feathers
Another significant new wave trend for weddings is for a bride to carry a bouquet made of feathers! That’s right: feathers are the in-trend and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors/patterns that will blend with any wedding theme! Of course, the simplest way to obtain feathers (if you happen to create your own) is to visit your local craft store.
If you’re not sold on the idea of creating your feather bouquet for the big day, then you can indeed have one custom made by searching online. Not only will a feather bouquet last for the years to come, but it will also be an incredible statement piece at your wedding!
Lantern
Holding a wedding in the evening or at night? If that’s the case, then a lantern will do the trick! One of the best ways to acquire a lantern is to visit your local dollar store. From there, you can pick up a relatively inexpensive lantern and spray paint it any color you’d like.
To keep your wedding lantern safe — especially if your flower girl and ring bearer will be carrying one, too — you can then opt for battery-operated flame-less candles. These will be the perfect way to create a little magic on your big day!
