Carrying a bouquet of flowers down the aisle is steeped in tradition. But perhaps you are looking for something more innovative and creative. Don’t worry, you are in luck. There are several exciting alternatives to the traditional flower bouquet.

Here is what brides can carry instead of a bouquet.

Origami Flowers

Origami flowers look simply awesome. What else can you expect from Japan except for the most extraordinary things? This artistic bouquet of vibrant paper flowers will look even better than real flowers. Art lovers will be thrilled with your elegant and refined taste in art.

Rescue Cat

Are you a proud animal lover? Why not show off your admiration for all things cute and fluffy by carrying the most adorable rescue kitty? Guests will gasp with delight as they see you walk gracefully down the aisle with the most cuddly cute kitten gracing your hands. You too will love the sentimental ‘awes’ emanating throughout the hall.

Although this is a cool idea, don’t buy a cat for this purpose. Do this only if you have a rescue cat with you already and are certain that it will behave well. Buying a cat just for this purpose is not wise.

If you don’t have your own pet, perhaps you could get a friendly kitten or puppy that you are on good terms with from your best friend or closest relatives.

Flower Necklaces

Perhaps you do not want to do away with flowers altogether and just want a fresh, imaginative spin on an age-old tradition. Then why not wear a gorgeous flower necklace in addition to carrying the flower bouquet?

You will look extra flowery this way with a lovely necklace of real flowers. This idea will be extra special if you love flowers. And honestly, who doesn’t?
