What do you think about a bride being unique and having a wrist corsage instead of a bouquet?

Maybe for a second wedding or non-traditonal wedding, even a first wedding were the bride is really unique. It sounds cool, hands free to hug guests. It's a different concept.

Anything that the bride wants is fine. If she only wants a wrist corsage then I would think that would be fine. What does it matter? Just so the bride and groom have the wedding they want without a lot of hassle and friction between families.
Reply:It sounds like a good idea. I had a friend who had a destination wedding, and she did that for the ceremony. At the reception she had here, she had a boquet to throw.


Also with a corsage, you can use more interesting flowers than with a boquet, like orchids and lilies.
Reply:um, she isn't holding the boquet the entire time...just during the ceremony, but then it is passed off to the maid of honor.....her hands are free the rest of the time..
Reply:Great idea
Reply:Why not! For second weddings I have even seen the bride and groom in place at the altar/arch/gazebo and their close friends all walk down the aisle each handing a particular flower to the bride which she then put in a small bowl as their table arrangement. Also, with traditional bouquets, I have seen only candles on the head table so that the bouquet(s) could serve as the floral arrangements! Beautiful!
Reply:It would be way too awkward and get in the way.
Reply:You should have whatever you want! Your wedding is about you and your new husband. I think it is a great opportunity to display your personal style...your wedding is a celebration of YOU...so if a wrist corsage is what you want then go for it!!
Reply:If that is something you want to do--why not?
Reply:Im just wondering what you would do with your hands while youre walking down the aisle... seems like it might look kinda awkward....
Reply:It's a unique idea and I love unique ideas. I remember seeing something along time ago where the bride had a wrist corsage instead of a bouquet. The flowers were attached to her gloves (only on one arm) and trailed up her arm (only to her elbow). Just a different twist on your description.
Reply:As a bridal consultant, I say - "do yo thang girl!" ...it's time to step out of the over-traditional and into the new millenium (sp)...All the tradition is fine, but, if you want to be different, that is ok too! Now, I am not saying go topless in a church wedding, that is tasteless....but, as far as a corsage versus a bouguet..go for it. It is very practical, and hands free is good because you can be more active......





Dare to be bold..be different!
Reply:That's an original idea. I say if you like it go for it!
Reply:It your day. Your meaning his too. If he is fine with it go for it.





We did many "different" things at our day. Do you know what everybody kept saying, this just seemed like them. I though that was a nice compliment.
Reply:Since you asked what we think, I'm going to be honest, because you need several points of view. Honestly, I would think she looked like she was going to the prom instead of getting married. It is a different concept. One I personally wouldn't opt for, but weddings these days are all about individual, unique touches, so obviously, the bride can do whatever she wants!
Reply:I thinks that it is definitely unusual and a bit quirky. Maybe is was a cost issue. Who knows?


I say do whatever you want for your wedding, because this is your money that you are spending.
Reply:GOOD IDEA THAT SOUNDS REALLY COOL
Reply:Good idea! Sounds really nice.
Reply:If you like it, why not? There's no need to fuss with a bouquet if you don't want to.
Reply:Lovely, this way you'll always have the flowers with you. You can't carry a bouquet around all through the reception.
Reply:very kewl, it is kewl to be different
Reply:Do whatever fits your personality best. Don't step away from that because you want to stick with tradition OR because you want to fly in the face of it. Either would be equally as wrong if its not you!





I've seen brides carrying everything from the traditional boquet, to a candle, corsages, a pomander ball of flowers, and even their dogs. It was all just as beautiful because it was always about the same thing, two people beginning their lives together as man and wife.
Reply:I do wedding flowers and have made them in white or ivory just for the bride, adding pearls, colored ribbon, nice fill, etc. check out my site I can help if you need one.
