10 Daring Alternative Bouquets For The Non-Traditional Wedding Lanterns, Swords, And Pikachu?!
In the world of unconventional weddings, nothing screams creativity more than a couple who dares to deviate from the traditional flower bouquets. Just look at this lovely couple who opted for a Pikachu-filled aisle walk! Photography by Rebecca Rizzo Photographics. While it’s no surprise that offbeat couples are always pushing boundaries, what’s truly remarkable is how their unique choices have become the norm.
Over the years, we’ve seen an explosion of innovative bouquet ideas – from mushrooms and metal flowers to viking horns and much more. The options seem endless! It all started with Offbeat Bride Kerry’s thread on ‘Bouquet Alternatives’ in our community, which sparked a wave of creative expressions. We’ve witnessed couples rock cannabis bouquets, lanterns, swords, fruit, axes, dried flower, Sola wood, paper, and even no bouquet at all! The possibilities are truly endless.
Today, alternative bouquets have transcended their niche and become an integral part of many weddings, regardless of theme or style. Whether you’re going for a classic look or something more avant-garde, there’s an option out there that suits your taste. Some couples opt for sustainable alternatives, while others prioritize preserving their bouquet long after the big day. Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: nontraditional bouquets have become an integral part of modern wedding culture.
Let’s take a look at our recent faves in alternative bouquets!
Our curiosity was piqued when we posed a question to the creative minds within our Offbeat Wedding vendor community: what are some truly remarkable, one-of-a-kind bouquet alternatives you’ve encountered? The response was overwhelming, with innovative ideas that left us thoroughly impressed and eager to share them with others.
1) I choose you! How’s Pikachu for a nontraditional bouquet?!
2) This alternative wedding had a metal bouquet
As I reflect on my photography journey, one particular wedding stands out – a unique and memorable occasion that showcased a bride’s bold creativity. In 2019, I had the pleasure of capturing the special moments for a couple who opted for something truly remarkable: a metal bouquet that doubled as a statement piece during the ceremony. The guys even got in on the action with their own metal buttonholes!
To add an extra layer of drama to the proceedings, the heavy metal bouquet required its own granite rock stand, which became a stunning focal point during the ceremony.
Now let’s see those metal boutonnieres aka BUTTONHOLES!

The image’s ability to elicit such a powerful emotional reaction is a testament to the photographer’s skill and the enduring power of storytelling through visual art.
