What do you think?

Couples who are getting married are often looking to do something different for their wedding to make it stand out, whether it’s an unusual cake idea or a quirky alternative to a photo album.

Recently, another alternative that seems to be taking off is the non-flower bouquet trend.

Instead of holding a bunch of traditional flowers, some brides are opting for unusual creative versions of a bouquet.

We recently even say a wedding party holding puppies while you walk down the aisle during their adorable ceremony.

But we’re talking about using shells, feathers, jewels and other lesser used items in a pretty arrangement.

Many of these creative ideas have popped up on Instagram and Pinterest as of late, here is an example of several different ideas.

Which one is your favourite?

Many brides are taking the DIY route and using Pinterest and Youtube tutorials to make their own, but there are also plenty of online shops like Etsy and florists which can provide more than just the traditional bouquet.
