What To Carry Down the Aisle Instead of Flowers

by Emma Arendoski
written by Emma Arendoski

Today we’re talking about wedding bouquet alternatives with the latest Ask Emmaline question: “what to carry down the aisle instead of flowers“? Bride-to-be, Beth, wrote us last week with this question for her upcoming summer wedding. She wants to know if there are any bouquet alternatives she can use instead of traditional bouquets, and if so, what is acceptable for bridesmaids to carry, too. She asks,

“Hi Emmaline! I’m getting married in July… an outdoor wedding in humid southern heat. I don’t want to carry a bouquet down the aisle because it is one more thing to worry about (wilting and keeping it cool enough). What can I carry down the aisle instead of flowers? I know silk flowers are an option but I want something fun and different. Do you have any wedding bouquet alternatives I can try? Thanks.”

written by Emma Arendoski

Hey, loves! Are you wondering where to buy floral bridesmaid robes your crew will love? Today we’ll show you our faves from the sweet and super-talented Kate of Modern Kimono Robes! We’re also answering a few questions about bridesmaid robes from Abigail in our Ask Emmaline inbox. These are great questions we think every bride may be wondering, too, before ordering your bridal party robes. She writes,

Hi Emmaline Bride team! I hope you can help me with a few questions about robes for my bridesmaids. I want to know where to buy floral bridesmaid robes that look cute and trendy. However, my bridesmaids are all very different sizes from petite to very tall and XS to 2XL. I want everyone to feel comfortable wearing the robes the morning of the wedding. I also wanted to know if you have any suggestions for bridesmaid robes with extra length (my Maid of Honor is 5’10”) and should bridesmaids wear something under the robes to make them feel more comfortable? And last question, should my flower girl get a robe, too? Thanks for your help on this!

Save the Date Wording You Need to Know

by Emma Arendoski
written by Emma Arendoski

Are you engaged and ready to share the news, but you’re not sure about proper save the date wording? We’re here to help! While save the dates are not required, we definitely recommend sending them. A save the date — sent four to six months before your wedding — does the following: it serves as an official announcement, shares your excitement, and gives your guests advance notice to make travel arrangements, if necessary. It also lets guests know they’re on the list so they can save the date on their calendar. (Note: If your wedding is out-of-state or on a holiday weekend, a save the date is a must.) Today we’re showing you just how easy it is to pick save the date cards with beautiful designs by Paper Peach. Read on to cross this off of your wedding checklist and get the scoop on proper save the date wording! Enjoy!
