9. Garden veggies
If you’re a bit of a foodie, or perhaps live on a farm, why not take advantage of the season’s harvest with a vegetable bouquet? A cheap and striking alternative to the flower bouquet, you’ll still have plenty of flexibility when it comes to your bouquet’s colour scheme and shape.

11. Herbs
Keep your bouquet smelling beautiful with garden herbs. While the herb bouquet may sound like a relatively new idea, they were very common during the Victorian era. Herbs held serious meaning, with lavender standing for luck and devotion, rosemary for remembrance, sage for a long life and thyme for courage. Why not combine all four for the ultimate wedding charm?
