We included a special note in the invitations of close friends and family asking them to bring a flower to be combined into my bouquet representing the bringing together of each of our friends to become our friends. We had a friend collect the flowers and make the bouquet before I walked down the aisle. It was a beautiful and a one-of-a-kind bouquet, WE did this kind of thing at our wedding 34 years ago.

Asking family members to each bring a flower to the ceremony--their favorite bloom, what was used at their wedding, or just something pretty they found that day--and place it in a vase. Then we'll scoop them up and tie a ribbon around right before I walk down the aisle. At my cousin's wedding, all the children in the bride's family walked up to her while she stood at the alter and each handed her a rose. After they were done, my cousin gave his spouse-to-be a huge tropical bloom and then tied up her bouquet himself. Like others have said, it was a really special part of the ceremony.

I wanted to collect the flowers a la Jennifer, but there will be 70 guests and my Mum freaked out about the idea.
