Offbeat Bride | Christmas ornament bouquet and paper centerpieces

This post features offbeat affiliates, meaning that if you buy something featured, you’ll help support Offbeat Bride’s mission of bringing wedding awesomeness to brides everywhere.

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.
