Favors & Flowers

We have SO much wedding inspiration for floral stuff like bouquets and centerpieces, and also non-floral alternatives like paper flowers and origami boutonnieres… plus oodles of wedding favor inspiration. We’ve got separate categories for floral DIY projects and DIY wedding favors.

Chili pepper bouquet

Add a little fire to your style with a chili pepper bouquet!

One of our killer photography vendors, [heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/altar-image-photography"]Altar Image Photography[/heart], captured a hot (literally) chili pepper bouquet that slays.

A moss cape and metal bow tie slays all wedding fashion forever

Newlyweds Allison and Dylan showed off some seriously organic fashion statements in this styled shoot.

We spied these ceramic flowers for bouquets or centerpieces over on Etsy and can’t wait to see ceramic flower bouquets become a thing.
