Listen up, y’all, let’s talk about them bridesmaid flowers, or whatever them city folks call ’em – bridesmaid bouquets, yeah, that’s it. My niece, she got hitched last summer, and let me tell ya, flowers cost a pretty penny! So, if you’re lookin’ to save a bit, or just wanna do somethin’ different, I got some ideas for ya, you hear? These ain’t your grandma’s nosegays, no sirree!
First off, ditch them bouquets altogether! Who needs ’em anyway? Them girls gonna carry ’em for, what, an hour? Then they just sit around and wilt. Waste of money, I say. Instead, how about somethin’ they can actually use? My neighbor’s girl, she give her bridesmaids these cute little bags. Yeah, bridesmaid bags, filled with little goodies. Candy, maybe some lip balm, you know, girly stuff. Practical and pretty, that’s what I say.
Now, if you still want some flowers, but don’t want the same old, same old, there’s options. I saw this picture in a magazine once, them girls had these flower crowns on their heads. Like little flower fairies, they was. Looked real nice, and freed up their hands for dancin’ and eatin’ cake, which is what really matters at a weddin’, ain’t it? You can make ’em outta real flowers, or fake ones if you wanna keep ’em forever. My other niece, she used fake ones for her weddin’, and she still got hers, hangin’ on her wall.
- Flower Crowns: Skip the bouquets and go for flower crowns. Pretty and practical, lets the girls keep their hands free.
- Bridesmaid Bags: Fill cute bags with goodies. A gift and a bouquet all in one, less fuss and the girls can actually use them afterwards.
- Floral Hoops: Think of it like a modern wreath. Easy to carry and look real fancy, something different from the usual.
- Brass Knuckle Bouquet: Okay, this ain’t for everyone, but if you’re havin’ a wild kinda party, why not? Metal flowers, tough and edgy, make a statement.
Then there’s these floral hoops I seen online. Like a little circle of flowers and greenery. Kinda modern lookin’, and lighter than a big ol’ bouquet, I reckon. Easy to carry, and they look real fancy. You can hang ’em up after the weddin’ too, if you’re into that kinda thing. My daughter-in-law, she’s crafty, she could probably make them herself. Saves money, and you get somethin’ unique.
And if you’re real adventurous, and wanna make a statement, I heard about these brass knuckle bouquets. Yeah, you heard me right. Metal flowers, shaped like brass knuckles. Now, that ain’t for everyone, mind you. But if you’re havin’ a wild kinda party, a biker weddin’ maybe, why not? It’s definitely somethin’ folks will remember. Though, I wouldn’t want them girls gettin’ into a fight with them things, you know?
So, there you have it. A few ideas for them bridesmaid flowers, that ain’t your run-of-the-mill bouquets. Weddings is expensive enough as it is, no need to break the bank on somethin’ that’s gonna end up in the trash. Be creative, be different, and most importantly, have fun. That’s what a weddin’s all about, ain’t it? Love, laughter, and good food. And maybe a little dancin’, if my old knees can handle it.
In conclusion, there’s plenty of ways to do flowers without spendin’ a fortune or bein’ boring. Think outside the box, or the flower pot, as it were. You can be fancy, you can be practical, you can even be a little bit wild. Just make sure it suits the bride, and the weddin’, and you can’t go wrong. And remember, at the end of the day, it’s about the happy couple, not the flowers.
