when jon + i were planning our wedding, flowers weren’t big on our to-do list. first, we were dancing down the aisle and i couldn't be bothered with a bouquet -- clearly, i needed both hands to bust a move. second, it just seemed like a ton of money for something you eventually throw away.
then jon’s mom showed me the hot pink arrangement she'd found in a wedding magazine. i was sold. i'm a fickle being.
the morning after our wedding, the flowers were drunkenly hung in our garage where i attempted to dry them. two weeks later we returned from our honeymoon to find my gorgeous bouquet a brown, crumbly mess. then we moved and they ended up in the garbage.
want a gorgeous bouquet that lasts longer than a week? check out these seriously gorgeous bouquet alternatives:

i love this! The nice thing about alternatives to flowers, as well, is that they are green - no fertilizers, pesticides, or shipping from hawaii necessary :) Also, you can find cool ways to incorporate the elements from your bouquet into your wedding keepsakes, albums, etc, later on. Or.....maybe one day your daughter will carry your same bouquet ;P
