We are in love with the idea that your bridal bouquet and even your bridesmaids' bouquets can incorporate anything-and-everything under the sun that's not floral! This trendy idea allows bouquets to go beyond blossoms, incorporating charming keepsakes and spectacular natural elements that will last long after your wedding day. We asked lead wedding floral designers to take this challenge and they ran with it, utilizing antique book paper, vintage fabric, heirloom brooches, a variety of nuts, cinnamon sticks, dried plants, feathers, and succulents.
