Since I love weddings so much I decided to create a very different but fun bridal bouquet.
Might not be for every bride but I could see a fun spontaneous bride carrying this down the aisle.

Aging Beautifully
Beauty is usually regarded as something new, young, and fresh. People are said to be beautiful when they're young. But once someone or something ages it's considered to have lost it's beauty. Why aren't we normally attracted to older people or things? I can frankly say I'm not looking forward to aging...if I could, I'd stay in my 20's forever. If the fountain of youth truly existed I'd be on a quest to find it. But since I know youth doesn't last I truly want to embrace the beauty of aging. Things can still be beautiful once old...maybe wrinkles don't work for everyone but they sure do work for certain things. Demi Moore is a great example that beauty can come with age.Other than that I've learned that you can find it in many older things.. I know it's very normal to throw away dead flowers but if you're big in recycling and can try to find the beauty in something as old as a dead rose you might want to consider drying them out. It's a good way of preserving flowers and using them for a waay longer amount of time. A dried flower can sometimes be even more beautiful than a fresh flower. There's so many ways to use them and once dried you can save forever.
Heres a few tips on how you can use dead flowers and make them look beautiful still...
1. First dry your roses by hanging upside down for a few days until completely dry
2. Next you can get artsy and spray them in different colors with flower paint.
3. incorporate them to any design....heres my dried flower design
A bit on the goth side but still beautiful.
Sunflowers are also gorgeous when theyre aging...you can pull off the petals and get an entire new beautiful flower...
I think I even like them better this way.
