Today's wedding bouquets and centerpieces aren't limited to fragrant
blooms. For the next five weeks, I'll be showing you my favorite flower
alternatives, from new DIY creations to bouquets rich in history (and
heirloom antiques!), from transient arrangements that look beautiful at
your event to permanent keepsakes that'll look beautiful for generations
to come.
Option 1: Fabric Bouquets
The great thing about fabric is it comes in every color imaginable (and if you <i>don't</i> find the shade you need, you can always design your own at Spoonflower.com!), making it a great option for brides who want flowers in non-natural colors like dark teal or their favorite blooms at times of the year when they aren't readily available.
For added elegance, sew small jewels (pearls, rhinestones) or beads into the fabric flower centers or around the edges of the petals. Fabric flowers can look surprisingly realistic, and are often significantly cheaper than real blooms - plus, they'll last forever as a great wedding keepsake!
For a less realistic-looking (but perhaps more beautiful) bouquet, mix solid colors with patterned fabrics, or play with texture by adding lace and using different types of texture.
