I love the bouquet of snowflakes...brilliant!

I had a winter-glitter theme for my wedding (fyi...there are LOTS of after christmas sales to take advantage of clever accessories/decoration items). For the bouquet, I just carried a strand of white orchids pageant style down the aisle. White, glittering orchids (both fake and real) were used to decorate the altar and buffet table as well.

The French have a tradition of kissing under the misstletoe for New Year's. Perhaps some misstletoe could be carried by your bridal party. Something you can also pick up relatively inexpensively after Christmas.

Have you thought about paper bouquets?? A friend of mine creates them and does custom work, it's worth checking out:)

You could still use flowers and make it nontraditional! We have done countless bridal and bridesmaid bouquets with rare flowers and plants giving it a unique and nontraditional feel.

Here are just a few examples:

Billy balls and Dusty Miller look amazing together! (I can't make t...

(the above photo contains succulents. We have done succulent bouquets in the past, but I could not locate a picture of any of our succulent bouquets on this particular computer. This picture was brought to us by a bride and we are making her a succulent bouquet like this on friday!)

Orchids make for a nontraditional and exotic look.

Hydrangea is not a unique flower so to speak, but a single stem carried by a bridesmaid is extremely chic and nontraditional!

Hope this helps and you will consider using A Village of Flowers!
