Whether you're sticking with more traditional flowers that you want to dress up, looking for some unique floral alternatives, or looking to do something completely different, check out this article for some great ideas for an unforgettable bouquet.

Unique Floral Themes

How many times have we all seen a bouquet of roses, calla lilies or even gerbera daisies? There isn't anything wrong with them. In fact, they're stunning, very traditional choices for a wedding bouquet.

If you know you want to stick with flowers, but want to change it up from the standard options, here are a few great ideas for alternatives as you plan your wedding day.

Wildflower Bouquet

Wildflowers can make a stunning DIY Las Vegas wedding bouquet. They can be used for a variety of themes, from rustic and country, to more natural and earthy, to boho-chic.

Think about pairing wild grasses or eucalyptus with daisies or even lavender for a chic, laid-back look. Fresh wildflowers are easily attainable at a local farmer's market and best, you can create a gorgeous bouquet for less than $30.

Succulents

Succulents have exploded in popularity in the past two years.

Because they are drought-resistant and easy to maintain, they've become more popular as indoor and outdoor plants. They also come in almost every color and interesting geometric shapes, which make as perfect feature flowers for any bouquet. They can be paired with more traditional wedding flowers to add some extra interest, or you can create a bouquet entirely of succulents.

Edible

Who says you can't have your bouquet and eat it too? For the more epicurean or natural bride, nothing is more natural, environmentally responsible or food-forward than an edible bouquet.

Produce, even small bunches of it, can transform a typical wedding bouquet into something unique. And while it may seem crazy, there are some gorgeous options using dark green kale, artichokes, and dill. It's important to consider what's in season if you choose to incorporate some edible elements.

Alternative Materials

The downside of traditional floral bouquets is that they tend to wilt in the heat and they don't last. You can make a gorgeous bouquet out of a number of different materials for your DIY Las Vegas wedding.

Not only will you be able to keep the bouquet for years to come, but you can show some personal style and creativity that your guests will be talking about.

Paper Floral Bouquets

There are some unique and some very real looking paper floral options for brides looking to dare to be different. There are some stunning, more realistic options available that can be made either with a cutting machine or with a few templates and a pair of scissors using regular colored paper.

Or, you can choose something even more personal, like making paper flowers out of sheet music or maps if you and your beloved are musicians or love to travel.

Button Bouquets

There are some super cool button bouquets that you can make for your DIY Las Vegas wedding. The benefit of buttons is that they can be matched to any color scheme and can range from Gothic to vintage to rockabilly depending on how you build them. Use brand new buttons or personal treasures to create a truly unique bouquet.

Ribbon Rosettes

Ribbon bouquets aren't just for bridal showers anymore. For a softer, more feminine floral alternative, consider using ribbon rosettes as part of your bridal bouquet.

Like buttons, ribbons come in all widths and colors and can be made to match any other floral or bridesmaids dress. The results are classy, elegant, stunning bouquets.

Burlap Blooms

For a more rustic or country look, try creating a bouquet of burlap blooms. While many wedding bouquets have the flowers wrapped in burlap, consider creating the bouquet itself from burlap or lace. With a few yards of burlap, a glue gun, and some scissors, you can create a stunning bouquet for a country or rustic themed DIY Las Vegas wedding.

Interesting Add-Ons

Some brides just don't have the time or the interest to create their own bouquet from scratch. There are still plenty of options to personalize and create something memorable by adding unique touches to your bridal bouquet.

Crystal Brooch

Crystal brooches are a great way to make a bridal bouquet pop. By adding the brooch into the center of the bouquet, it can add a lot of sparkle and elegance to otherwise simple flowers.

You can also make your entire bouquet of brooches. They're a great way to showcase family heirlooms and it's a special bouquet that you can pass on to other family members.

Unique Wrap

Another way to add some pop to your bouquet is to wrap the bouquet in something special. You can use a satin bow or an explosion of ribbons to add color to an all-white bouquet.

Or, choose something more sentimental, like one of your grandfather's old monogrammed handkerchiefs or your grandmother's favorite silk scarf. You can also use the wrap to fulfill the old wedding tradition as having something "borrowed" or something "blue."

Feathers

For a truly unique look, think about adding feathers to your bridal bouquet as part of your DIY Las Vegas wedding. Feathers can not only add texture but color as well.

Darker feathers can be added to deep purple calla lilies for a dramatic effect. Pheasant feathers can be a fun addition to a bouquet of white anemones. Even peacock feathers can be added to some brighten up some hydrangeas, or add more drama to an orchid bouquet
