When you want to forgo flowers

By Never teh Bride

A DIY project in the making

Along with the usual crystal bouquets, paper bouquets, and wood bouquets, there are bead bouquets. Great for the bride or groom who can’t come within ten feet of a live flower without sneezing up a storm, bead bouquets (and boutonnières) look best when paired with elegant, streamlined wedding wear. To put it simply: The beads in your bouquet shouldn’t have to compete with beads that adorn your bodice.

Dudes can wear beards AND beads

If you’re intrigued by the notion of carrying something other than fresh or faux florals during your nuptials, know that I regret to this day not exploring all of the unique alternatives out there.
