You may have seen our bouquet alternatives archive, but let’s say you’re still looking at something that resembles a bouquet a bit more closely. You just aren’t sure if you’re completely into honest-to-goodness FLOWERS. We’ve rounded up a bunch of posts with nonfloral bouquets just for you!

Angi & Erik’s upcycled country barn wedding

This was a wedding with a lot of hidden surprises: I didn’t see the awesome bouquet, brunch buffet, and upcycled window/seating chart until I hit the Flickr set! There is a lot of DIY to see, a few repurposed items (bride’s dress, machinist-made rings!), and a whole lot of sweet details in this countrified barn wedding.

Gina & Alan’s handmade toadstool fantasy wedding

This couple has some seriously talented connections. Between the amazing mushroom cake, the handmade dresses, the fabric flowers, and the soft toy decor, there wasn’t much need for outside help. Plus, the scenery… ohmahgah the scenery!

Angie & Marc’s fairy tale chapel red hot wedding

This bride and her mother both picked out the wedding chapel independently. And once I saw it, I though probably would have too! In an idyllic location, with a small group of their closest pals, donning red gowns and fedoras, these two lovebirds finally closed the 5000 mile-gap and got married.

Rachelle & Eric’s rainy improv-tastic casual cookout wedding

This couple may have gotten rained out of their original location, but an obliging firehouse ended up being an awesome substitute. As far as reception entertainment goes, this wedding wins all around: stand-up comedy, live improv, piñata bashing, and musical chairs! Plus, the story about the bride’s grandmother making her cake had me fighting the tears. Enjoy your Fourth of July with this Fourth of July cookout wedding!
