Presenting easy ideas for adding an extra special touch to your wedding bouquet.

Accessorize your bouquet

Using jewelry is a fun way to add a glamorous appeal to your bouquet. Here are some inspirational examples:

Find bejeweled bands with diamond encrusted accents. These can be made with pretty rhinestones or pearls and you can use them as a dainty bracelet wrapped around your bouquet.
For a Catholic bride, a rosary is also a meaningful way to celebrate your religious background, which can later become a precious wedding heirloom to keep.
Use a vintage piece of jewelry such as a brooch from a godmother or aunt. These can be carefully attached to the bouquet or sewn into the band itself.

Have your florist match the perfect flowers to coordinate with your bouquet’s jewelry. Ivory roses or stephanotis, for instance, look fabulous with a pearl rosary.

Other ways to personalize your bouquet

Besides using jewelry to decorate your bouquet, here are some other ideas for adding originality to your bouquet and still make it truly your own:

Carry a precious photo of someone special in your life -it can be a beloved friend, partner, or family member. This photo can be crafted into a small card that is attached with a pretty ribbon or cord to the bouquet.
Use a bouquet band that contains a motif based on your wedding’s theme. This motif can be a miniature seashell, heart, or flower that is in the form of dangling charm.
Have the band of your bouquet embroidered with a pattern that is taken from your own wedding gown.

For a wedding with a religious tone, you may want to carry a small Bible or prayer book with your bouquet. This can carry a sentimental value and is a meaningful way to personalize the elements of your ceremony.

Putting your initials on your bouquet

Adding a personalized element to your bouquet is another great option by way of embroidery or printing. There are several ways that this can be accomplished:

Use a monogram of your initials - first and last name.
Show the first letters of the first names of the bride and groom.
Use your first name and your soon to be new last name.

If your family has a tradition of carrying a family crest, then this can also be incorporated into the design of your wedding band as a gesture of respect.
