Check out these gorgeous non-floral bouquets:
Sandy, the bride, made her bouquet out of christmas tree ornaments, and her bridesmaid's bouquets out of paper. (Unrelated: check out Sandy's shoes! And her purple crinoline! *swoon* I'm dying over here!)
Sandy also made the centerpieces out of paper:
Check out all the photos here, and rest assured that I'm already stalking Sandy and will hopefully have a full profile soon. You all know how much I love a colorful wedding…
Update: here's the full profile!

The cake is a copy of a Lovin' Spoonful cake. The original one is one of my faves!

I have the same dress, except my sash is black. I loved her purple crinoline and especially the shoes (I already have some glittery silver chucks picked out though). Any hints on where to get a crinoline like that?

The crinoline was originally a regular white one from David's Bridal. There are lots of crinoline dying tutorials online and, trust me, it's just as easy as everyone says!
Just a warning, though, I think that dress is actually not supposed to have a crinoline added (because there's already some tulle built in), but I didn't care. We had to cut out some of the purple to make it less mega-poofy but it worked.

I adore the paper bouquet! I'm all about the splashes of colour too. I'm having the original crinoline of my dress removed and getting my grandma to sew in a red one for a nice pop of colour.
