Traditions Vs. Non-Traditions — Bridal Bouquet

Tradition vs. non-traditional

As a wedding photographer in the business for several years now I have seen a lot of tradition at weddings and a lot of non-traditional weddings. First off, every wedding is different. It’s like a snowflake or a fingerprint. Each wedding is entirely unique to its couple.

This is the 2nd part in a series of traditions vs non-traditions

2. The Bridal Bouquet (and bridesmaids bouquet)

In Ancient Greece, brides would carry bundles of herbs and spices to ward off evil spirits at their wedding.  Now, brides carry bundles of fragrant and colorful flowers that helps to complete the wedding style aesthetic.

Some non-traditional ideas for bouquets are silk flowers, edible bouquets decorated to look like flowers (like shaved and rolled carrots and a pizza bouquet). Count me in for a pizza bouquet!!

I think it would be nice to bring back some of the original traditions to wedding bouquets, however. How awesome would it be to have a beautiful bouquet garnished with sprigs of rosemary and chamomile? I’m about this herb bouquet idea!

What are your thoughts?

Are you going to have a bouquet of flowers, or are you going to do something unique? Have you already gotten married? What was your wedding bouquet?
