kale bouquet alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

Up the fiber content of your wedding with these kale floral arrangements

A long time ago, I wrote a reactionary post called “Fuck yeah, kale bouquets.” It was a reaction to people talking shit about my favorite lettuce, and some people’s choices to have it featured prominently in their weddings.

Currently, I am planning a wedding, and I still feel strongly about the power of kale and it’s rightful place in weddings. So much so, that I’ve been rounding up so much kale wedding inspiration…

These vintage travel cases are the bouquet alternatives of our wanderlust dreams

We featured the sweetest vintage travel-themed wedding featuring flight attendant-inspired bridesmaids, vintage airmail favors filled with candy from around the world, and so many map and globe details we couldn’t even count. Don’t miss the bride’s map shoes! It was a wanderlusting dream. But how could we ignore the FANTASTIC non-floral “bouquets” held by the bridesmaids: vintage travel cases! They made for some of our most favorite wedding party shots ever. Let’s spy the many retro-fabulous vintage travel cases that Marvyl’s bridesmaids carried to pitch-perfect effect.

Bohemian Half Moon Bay brunch wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

This stunning boho Half Moon Bay wedding gives us all the feels

Angelica and Brian’s Half Moon Bay wedding had a stunning coastal casual chic wedding with musical influences. The reception was (one of my favorites!) a Sunday brunch wedding featuring chicken and waffles, crab cakes, and spinach florentine benedicts. Don’t miss the embroidery hoops centerpieces, tambourine bouquets, bud vases, flower stands, and even coffee beans as decor. Oh, and the GORGEOUS ceremony backdrop! Instead of champagne toasting flutes, they got personalized beer steins and drank Not For Sale Calf-eine Coffee Milk Stout, a nonprofit that works against human trafficking worldwide. Let’s see the whole delicious and gorgeous event…

tambourine bouquet alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

Who needs flowers when tambourine bouquets are a thing?

Have we got a killer wedding coming up later this week for you, but I couldn’t wait to share this one particular detail with you. The bridesmaids had TAMBOURINE BOUQUETS! We love us some non-floral bouquet ideas, and this one is just so rad. Imagine walking down the aisle, gently shaking the tambourines and making such a lovely sound. Guh. Love. The best part? This was a DIY project by the bride and her crew. There’s a whole lot more DIY magic in store when we share the full wedding. Watch this space!

We’ve seen non-floral bouquets of all types like papier-mâché animal bouquets, paper roses, brooch bouquets, mini birdcages, and lanterns, and even offbeat florals like kale bouquets. But now is the time where we’re going to start seeing pot bouquets! Cannibis is taking it’s turn in fabulous wedding greenery and this styled shoot is no exception. Let’s spy the marijuana bouquet, boutonniere, and centerpieces all among the Rocky Mountains in Colorado (where it’s legal!).
