An Interesting Idea for a bouquet

Hello everyone!

As I was trolling the internet for something of interest to write about, I came upon this item, written by Michelle Binkley. I thought it was really sweet, and, if you are a romantic at heart, you may like this idea for a bouquet.

One of my favorite things to see at weddings is a bouquet put together as the bride walks down the aisle. This is an excellent consideration if you are on a strict budget, but it does take some time to plan ahead. Ask each significant friend or family member (about 10 – 15 people total) to bring a fresh cut bloom from their garden, or their favorite flower to the ceremony. Supply each with a water vial a few days before the wedding, (Bridesnblooms.com sells this product). Have them bring their bloom of choice in the water filled vial and sit it right on the aisle at the ceremony. As the Bride (that’s you) walks down the aisle, she collects the blooms and as the bundle of flowers grows, the Mom(s) can add the last bloom(s) and tie it off with a nice ribbon. Voila! – a group bouquet which doesn’t leave a dry eye in the house. You can request that they remove the vials just before they hand you the bloom. You may also want to put someone in charge of organizing this – phoning to remind them the day before, suggesting a standard length of the flower and finding out what flowers people are bringing so that nothing outrageous like half a rose tree is handed to you while heading down the aisle.

Don’t you just love this idea? I think it’s really sweet, and really helps to include those who you couldn’t have in your wedding party.

Have a flower filled day!!!
