If you've never been big on wedding bouquets, how about having your bridesmaids and maid-of-honor carry small handbags that are covered in silk flowers! Each attendant can wear a different color and they can carry a handbag personalized just for them. Get your glue gun out and attach the silk flower heads to the individual purses to match the color and style of the gowns. This rainbow of colors will be eye-catching and help to ensure a bright beginning for you and your groom!
If you're planning on having little girls in your wedding, but don't like the idea of the ?flower girl?, you can make a floral garland for them to carry. Simply cover birch vines with silk flowers that match or complement the flowers that the bridesmaids and maid-of-honor are carrying and let your two or three young attendants carry the garland in tandem. This will not only look adorable (get ready for the oohs and ahhs) but it is also a clever way of keeping the girls together.
As the bride, if you don't want to carry a traditional cascading bridal bouquet, or even a hand-tied bridal bouquet, consider getting married while holding a hoop made of vine and strung with various silk flowers. The hoop is carried like a tambourine.
Another option is the pomander, a Styrofoam ball that is covered in lace or tulle. Silk flower heads are attached and the lightweight floral pomander simply hangs from the wrist.
If you've lost someone special to you, such as a grandmother or even your mother, consider carrying something of theirs, such as their prayer book, garnished with their favorite flowers. This would be a lovely way to pay tribute to this missing guest.
In lieu of corsages, floral bracelets can be fashioned like small garlands with silk wedding flowers woven in. These not only would look lovely, but they would also give your wedding yet another non-traditional flavor.
If your wedding is in the autumn, how about decorating with pumpkins and wheat rather than the traditional floral arrangements? Christmas weddings can include strands of lights and lots of pine and holly. Beautiful glass ornaments can be included not only in the arrangements, but also in the bouquets. Reception guests can each receive a lovely ornament as a favor. The date can be inscribed on the ornaments as a reminder of this special day. Decorated boxwood Christmas ?trees? would look stunning as centerpieces at each table.
Summer weddings can be lush with silk wedding flowers. Floral halos can be crafted for the young girls in the wedding. Beach themed d'cor can add a festive and fun touch to the wedding and reception. In place of flowers, your young attendants can carry small wind chimes that will add peaceful chiming to the day.
If you want non-traditional, you have to start thinking outside of the box. Once outside of the box, the sky's the limit!
There is no feeling like the one you have when you find the perfect mate for you, especially if you and your future spouse are not into following the mainstream way of living. If you have found someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with, you will want to commemorate the fact with wedding rings that are just as unique and beautifully paired as you two are. But because you and the love of your life are not fans of traditional rings or even weddings, you don't want to give your spouse something that looks like it was picked up at a random jeweler's without any thought or consideration. Instead, you will want to give your spouse something special, like black tungsten rings, to be able to show the world your love for each other.
Unlike traditional wedding rings, black tungsten rings are made out of strong tungsten, a precious metal that is stronger than gold, silver and even titanium. Black tungsten rings have a beautiful glossy finish, so regardless as to what you or your spouse do for a living, they will not become dull, chipped or broken.
But if the black tungsten rings are not enough for you, and you feel like there is something else that you should give your future spouse to show him or her how much you care about them, there are also beautifully crafted titanium bracelets that you can give on the day you dedicate your lives to each other. It will not matter if your spouse likes bangles or baubles; titanium bracelets have an air of class and sophistication that cannot be met by bracelets made from another type of metal. So even if you aren't into the traditional wedding rings, you can find jewelry that shows just how much you care for your new spouse.
