The Bride Could Carry A Seashell Bouquet!

Forget the Flowers - Carry a Seashell Bouquet!

Brides who will walk down a sandy aisle can choose to carry a beautiful bouquet of seashells.  Many tropical weddings include tropical flowers, such as Plumeria, Anthuriums, Hibiscus, Bird of Paradise, Lilies and Orchids, but if you’d like to hold a bouquet that is not only very unique, but will last forever (or just about), consider having a bouquet of seashells made just for you!

I’ve found some designers on Etsy who create these beautiful bouquets so your search could begin there.  One even incorporates feathers into the Go Natural Seashell Bouquet.  In her description she says that she can also make a small bouquet to be thrown.  Seashells are quite sturdy and difficult to break – except for the sand dollars and starfish, so throwing a bouquet would be fine.  Hopefully some lucky lady will catch it, and if not it may land in the sand anyway.

Another one is all white and in a ball shape.  The creator of this bouquet (with over 300 shells) warns not to throw it because it is heavy!  Do a search at the Etsy site to find more if you are interested.  (If you don’t know what Etsy is, it’s a site of everyday people with their own items – many handmade – to sell).

I like the idea of a seashell bouquet.  They are not cheap, but neither are floral bouquets and the flowers will eventually die and your wedding bouquet will be only a memory found in pictures.     A bouquet of shells can be packed away to show future generations and can be passed down to a daughter one day – if she has acquired a love for the beach like her mom.
