Ideas on what bridesmaids could carry instead of flowers?
I am doing a nautical theme for my wedding in June. The ceremony is going to be close to the water, my colors are marine blue and clover green and I am using sailboats, anchors and lighthouses for centerpieces at the reception. I am trying to avoid having flowers at all costs because I find it ridiculous to spend a ton of money on something that is going to die by the end of the day...so, I am trying to come up with alternative ideas for my bridesmaids to carry instead of flowers. Any ideas?
One of best friends, who married last year, had a very similar wedding. Nautical / ocean theme, with a very similar color scheme. If it helps, her wedding was beautiful, so I am sure yours will be too !
Anyway, she ran across the same issue. What do her bridesmaids carry? I actually came up with the solution so I am sorta proud of myself-
- Lighthouse Lanterns !
We came across some really cute silver/metal lighthouse lanterns, then put tea lights inside and lit them, and then each bridesmaid walked down the aisle. The glass that surrounded the candle acted as protection, and then the bridesmaid each held it out in front of her has she walked down. As a precautionary measure, we wrapped a portion of the handle in layers of tape, that way the handle wouldn't get too hot.
We came across the lanterns at Target and they were only 3-5 bucks each. I don't know if they will have them again, but especially around that time of June, I am sure that craft and party stores like Micheals or Party City might have LIghthouse/beach themed stuff.
Micheal's Arts and Crafts has a simple, but cute lantern. Also, check out.

The lanterns were an original yet simple way to stay in touch with the theme. Many people loved the originality, and they made great keepsakes for the brides.
I hope this helps. And more importantly, best wishes to you and your fiance ! May you have a happy, healty life together !
