Wedding Flowers That Rock!

June 28, 2011 in Alternative Ideas,Bouquets,Flowers with 3 Comments

My mom has been a rock & roller since the 70s and while she didn’t carry a bouquet at her 2010 wedding, if she had it might have been one very much like those produced by the husband and wife team at Flowers That Rock. Because, yes, those are guitar picks and the stems are actually reclaimed guitar strings. You probably already know that I love love love alternative wedding flowers of just about every stripe, from paper to wood to beads and crystals and ceramics, but these just might be my favorite alternative wedding flowers ever because they are too darn cool.

Picks come in just about every color you can imagine, so yes, they have your wedding colors

Custom bouquet packages and even printing are available

True story: I didn't know they were picks the first time I saw them

In addition to guitar pick bridal bouquets, Flowers That Rock creates arrangements that could work as centerpieces and hair accessories and single blooms, which could be very interesting as part of a more traditional bridal bouquet. I love them! But what say you: Yes? No? Great for the right bride? Too silly? I never know how far some of you are willing to go when it comes to the alternative ideas that I think are so fantastic, so do feel free to tell me to take it down a notch!

    Great idea! I used to play long ago. It looks like it would last too as a keepsake.
