A Fresh Flower Alternative
Looking for bouquet alternatives to traditional fresh flowers? This styled shoot by Jacqeuline Photography features a pretty, handcrafted alternative by Visual Impact Design—all nonperishable!
There are many benefits to using nonperishable flowers, including wilt-proof décor for your outdoor summer wedding and a reduction in carbon footprint by not importing flowers from other parts of the country or world. Nonperishable flowers travel well for destination weddings, are kind to the environment and can hold up to the elements. And you’ll have a keepsake for a lifetime!
The possibilities are endless for eco materials for your nonperishable blooms, too. Think wood, recycled paper, fabric, silk, jewels and actual dried flowers. The bouquet featured here also incorporates other nonperishable elements including pheasant feathers, curly willow branches, a studded leather strap and burlap. Lovely!

Sunshiny Day
The spring rains have temporarily left us, so we’re in the mood for some sunshine! Fresh and bright yellow bouquets are perfect for sunshine and summer too. Blended with grey, coral, turquoise or pink, yellow will make your Eco-Beautiful color palette shine. Take a stroll through your local farmers market or your own garden for inspiration!

Succulent Swoon
Succulents have been a trend in wedding florals and décor for a year or two now, and we love that they are still going strong! Succulents are a vivacious and vibrant plant, and beautiful alone or mixed in with other flowers. Succulents have a natural look to them, so they’re a perfect balance to woods and other eco-elements that may make an appearance on your day. Rustic chic brides—succulents are for you!
Consider succulents as an Eco-Beautiful accent in your bouquets and ‘bouts, centerpieces and favors too (your guests can plant them at home). Love the purple succulent for fall and winter!
