I'm looking for an alternative for Bridesmaids bouquets.  Something not so expensive for them to carry.  Our wedding will be in the fall and the dresses will be burgundy crushed velvet the mens vests will be forest green. I thought about candles be they can be dangerous and messy.  Any other suggestions?


 
There are several things that your bridesmaids can do other than carrying a bouquet.  You are right in thinking that candles can be messy and dangerous and your ceremony location might not allow the use of an open flame.  You might have them carry fans, particularly old fashioned looking ones.  Another option would be to have each lady carry a single long-stem rose or perhaps a single long-stem calla lily.  If your wedding will be in a church, they might each carry a small Bible or prayer book.
 
Best wishes on your wedding.
