Bride's bouquets are so beautiful in today's weddings. The hand-wrapped look sure beats those ugly cone-shaped holders from days gone by!Although wrapping the bouquets is a gorgeous and simple way to tie in the colors and theme from your wedding, there are other ways to personalize this most important bouquet of all. Just think out of the box and be creative ....
... do you have a swatch of material from your mother's wedding dress that could be used to tie your bouquet?
... what about a piece of that afghan or muffler your grandmother once knit for you?
... do you have a special or sentimental piece of jewelry (necklace, earrings, bracelet, pin, brooch, etc.) that could be attached to the ribbon?
... what about something "borrowed" or something "blue" that could hook to or hang from the ribbon?
... how about the collar from your favorite pet? (This is one creative way to include your pet in the wedding without the chaos of actually having the pet participate in the ceremony.)
... what about something from your first date with your husband-to-be?
Do any of you have any other creative suggestions?? Please share them!

One of my favorite ideas is to honor lost loved ones in bouquets or otherwise. This is particularly relevant to my wedding, as my fiance's best friend recently died unexpectedly. He was going to be a groomsman, so we are honoring him by having someone carry an extra boutonniere and mentioning him in the program.
Thanks for this local blog!
