Alternatives to bridesmaids flowers

I recently had a bride that stated that she was really not a flower person. She wanted to minimize her personal flowers for her wedding party. She went as far as to say, " I really don't want my attendants to carry any flowers! Well that really got my creative wheels spinning. What else could the bridesmaids carry if not flowers? After much research, I found out this is really becoming a up and comming wedding trend. I love it!! Here you can be as creative as YOU would like to be. Just think you can give your selections to your bridemaids as gifts!

See below for more of the suggestions that were presented to her and share your thoughts.. Can you guess which one she selected?
