Herbs, Veggies, and Grains OH MY!

One trend we’ve been seeing a lot of lately is brides creating bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces out of objects other than flowers, and we can see why! The results can be stunning, unique, and more budget-friendly. You can make them or order them as ahead of time as you like. Best of all, they won’t wilt and you can keep them after the wedding as (gorgeous) keepsakes!

A few flowers on the table are always pretty, but if summer heat has zapped your garden like it’s zapped mine, flowers may be in short supply. Herbs to save the day! A few sprigs of mint, thyme, and basil are as pretty on the table as anything. And who says you have to draw the line at herbal arrangements for the table? See that mint boutonniere? I bet that groom smelled great!

Wheat. We’re loving the wheat bouquet and boutonniere below, especially for a fall wedding

 Vegetables. Asparagus and kale look perfectly at home in these bouquets. Who would have ever guessed

Cotton: Being a southern girl, what an interesting take on something that grows in abundance!

Herbs. For those of you who feel like a bouquet just isn’t a bouquet without something fresh and green, what about herbs? Besides being budget-friendly, a bouquet made of herbs would smell soo good. 

Whether you mix nonfloral objects with flowers, or go totally nonfloral, these bouquets show that it can look absolutely stunning. There are so many more possibilities too–we’ve seen bouquets that included seashells, buttons, ribbons, and maple leaves, just to name a few.

So may herbs to chose from, chives, mints, lavender, rosemary, thyme, dill, parsley, cilantro, fennel! get crazy!
