great article, makes me feel much better : ) i'm allergic to pollen and was dreading having to hold a bouquet even though i'm not doing the whole, aisle thing I'd like something to hold. considering the crystal bouquet or something similar as i make things like that, or as we are having a handfasting featuring candles, perhaps a candle or lantern.

Since I'm having a beach wedding, I'll be making a seashell bouquet. Costs less than a flower one, and I don't have to throw it either(can you imagine throwing a seashell bouquet? many lives would be lost). Some decorate the bouquet with pearls and small flowers.I personally would want something to hold,because I wouldn't know what to do with my hands!

I will be holding flowers, calla lilies actually. I toyed with the idea of axing flowers altogether and just holding my dads elbow down the aisle, but I like flowers and buying by the stem instead of florist arranged makes them afordable

Myself and my bridesmaids are rocking out wrist corsages instead of carrying bouquets. I'm not big on the idea of carrying something or having to hold on to it…plus, the corsages are simpler, stay out of the way and cheaper to make.

we are getting married october 19th, and to go with the fall theme we are making bouquets out of branches, wheat and grass. i might find some dried lavender to keep with the symbolic feel of the bouquet though. or add a sunflower or some leaves to give it color. something simple and fall!

So I just got engaged to the most amazing man, ever!
We're planning on getting married in January.
I like the idea of bouquets of flowers, but at the same time, I always like to be a little different [without going overboard] So at the moment, I'm considering fans and/or a mix of flowers. =]

No bouquets for me either. I'm from Hawaii, so I carried a maile lei for my groom and gave it to him at the end of the aisle.

All attendants wore lei (parents too). No bouquets for the bridal ladies (none of them are maids!). I was surprised at how many people asked "What will the brides maids do with their hands?". Really? Dont they walk around all the time without carrying bouquets of flowers? No one asked what the men would do with their hands.

I posted the question about the flowers and I want to thank everyone for commenting. I feel even more secure in my decision to not carry anything down the aisle.

I think it depends on the wedding

we are doing a halloween masquerade..

So I had wand bouquets made for them on sticks so that they can hold them with the masquerade masks (also on sticks) as they walk down the aisle

another flowerless bride here. i am walking down the aisle with both of my parents and plan to hold their hands. probably giving my girls parasols or fans to hold so they have something to do with their hands, though i did see a picture of someone holding a coconut with flowers in it, but it seemed awkward to carry.
