Polka Dot Bride recently lauded the idea of using an alternative to a traditional bouquet of flowers for your trip down the aisle. From beads, shells and feathers to bridal bouquets made out of paper or fabric, she gives a wealth of ideas about how to add some creative flair to your big day. I personally adore fresh flowers so much that I’m not sure I could part with the idea, but what do you think about these creative twists on the classic bouquet? Rant or rave about it!

Wedding favor shopping has become synonymous with stress, sad little catalogs and the same old stuff you see at every wedding in town. For a couple looking for a gift with a little more flair than the typical picture frame or key chain, consider branching out and trying some of these tasty favors that are sure to leave them smiling!

Edible wedding favors are chic, simple and sure to please. Everyone from your great aunt to your punk-rock-loving little brother will love to sink their teeth into a candied apple or a white chocolate dipped Oreo. And, with so many options available at inexpensive prices, you can get creative with your treats without blowing your budget.

If these edible favors are as scrumptious as they are stylish, you will turn your guests into genuine foodies in no time. The dipped strawberries are my favorite because they look so cute, funky and downright delicious. What about you?
