Add a secret letter memorial in your paper flower bouquet

Tribesmaid Inthecorridors made this very sweet little flower memorial for her grandmother and shared it on the Offbeat Bride Tribe.

Add color with fruit to your floral bouquet

Check out this adorable bouquet with strawberries on the vine spilling out from Tribesmaid Stkhlmvegan. It reminds me of whimsical flora from Wonderland. She chose this awesome alternative due to some flower allergies, but the potential is totally there.
