I think I'll give flowers a miss, as I'm not a flowery girl. We're meeting together at the top of the aisle as I hate the idea of walking alone on show. I wanted my dog to walk with me, but but register office won't allow. I still feel I want "something" to fiddle with 'cos I know I'll suffer with nerves and end up fiddling with my dress & looking like a schoolgirl. Books? No..nothing holds significance. Fans? Nope. So any more cool ideas, please shout up. Thanks Hi, I'm getting married in 2 weeks and have yet to decide..but after finding this website (why didn't I find it sooner!?)

Both of us are incredibly shy and neither of us want to do the him-waiting-at-the-top-for-me because we'd just hate the attention, especially me as I walked in (on my own). I do love flowers though and have thought about artificial anemones because they come in bright jewel tones that will look good with my purple dress. FH won't be carrying anything though (not his style) so it'll be a very last minute decision. I might just put them in my hair instead. FH and I are walking in together, holding hands.

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 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 I will be holding flowers, calla lilies actually.

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.
