Carry a wreath down the aisle with you instead of a traditional bouquet during the wedding ceremony. This wreath should be small compared to the traditional wreath you would see during Christmastime. It should incorporate flowers that fit with the colors of your wedding. You can also tie a white ribbon around the wreath to add to the appeal of your wedding dress.

Remember to incorporate the colors of your wedding in the wreath. For example, you could choose flowers that match your bridesmaids' dresses.

Design paper wreaths or purchase paper wreaths from a store to serve as the centerpieces at the wedding reception. You can also choose paper wreaths for the ceremony, especially if your wedding colors are black and white and you are looking to stay away from more colorful options.
