Dear Here Comes The Guide: Is there anything besides a typical bouquet my bridesmaids could carry?—Gaylen H., Auburn
Here Comes The Guide: We put this query to one of our favorite floral designers, Nancy Liu Chin of San Francisco. She applauds your yen for originality, “The trend for bridesmaids is anything but a lone nosegay,” says Nancy. “We’ve been doing purses filled with flowers, colorful paper fans, and Asian umbrellas.
For something really creative, how about having your bridesmaids walk down the aisle holding copies of a favorite hardbound book with a cluster of posies on top?” Another fave flower diva, Jennifer French of Lush Floral offers, “Whimsical floral pomander balls or floral wreaths are other eye-catching accessories for the wedding party.”
