Brides are forgoing the petal-tossing flower girl tradition in favor of carrying bloom-filled purses. “It’s perfect for couples who want something unique and different,” says Jackie Combs of Lotus & Lily Floral and Event Design in Studio City. The design options are endless, think dried reeds and moss filled with fresh peonies and garden roses or longer lasting succulents. And with a number of venues no longer allowing petal tossing for clean-up reasons, the petal purse is not only adorable, but practical. And what girl doesn’t love a bag full of blooms!
