Bible Bouquets - A Irish Tradition

Bridal Bible Bouquet or Prayer Book Bouquet

 

Many brides opt to carry a bridal Bible or Prayer Book Bouquet for their wedding. This tradition started in Northern Ireland. Many Irish families had family bibles and it was a way to for the bride to honor her family. Famous brides have also carried prayer book bouquets. Grace Kelly carried one at her wedding to Prince Ranier.

 

Today many Christian brides carry a bible or prayer book as a symbol of their faith. You can add flowers or ribbons or a combination of the two.

 

Just another option for your wedding day!

Lush Yellow Wedding Bouquet at Green Wedding Shoes

Green Wedding Shoes presents this gorgeous yellow bouquet in their post "The Bear and The Bumble Bee." The bride and groom based their wedding theme on some cartoons they had drawn of each other during their courtship.  Be sure to look for the photo of the grooms yellow and black striped socks (obviously he's the bumble bee) and see their flower girl dressed as a bumble bee! Unique to say the least! Rich, lush and romantic this bouquet caught my eye and I thought I'd share it with you.  To see other great wedding photos and inspirations go to the post at this link.

Cold Porcelain Wedding Bouquets

These cold porcelain bouquets are made by the artist at Parsi Shop on Etsy.com.  They are a beautiful way to either reproduce your wedding bouquet so you have it forever or to carry her bouquet on your wedding day.  The roses above are my favorites but she can make any custom order, just be sure to touch base with her so she has enough time to produce a custom order.
