What you give your bridesmaids to carry in your wedding should reflect the style of your wedding. If your wedding is going to be outdoors, this will give you some wonderful non-bouquet options. At an urban loft wedding, one of the hippest trends for bridesmaids is to have each one carry a chic clutch bag rather than flowers. This looks incredible with ultra-modern bridesmaid dresses like minis.
For very opulent weddings, the bridesmaids should look truly fabulous. Imagine the bridal party dressed to the nines in silk bridesmaid dresses in a rich jewel tone with sparkling crystal bridesmaid jewelry.
