15 Non Floral Bouquets: Feathers, Wheat, Sola Flowers, and more
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 ahead of time as you like. Best of all, they won’t wilt and you can keep them after the wedding as gorgeous keepsakes!

15. 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 so good. The boutonniere is by InStyle Weddings.
Whether you mix non-floral objects with flowers, or go totally non-floral, these bouquets show that it can look absolutely stunning. There are so many more possibilities. We’ve seen bouquets that included seashells, buttons, ribbons, and maple leaves just to name a few.
