Some of my favorite wedding bouquets I've seen are not made by a fancy florist at all but are just a sweet and simple bundle of flowers. A perfect example is this sweet French wedding where the bride picked a bouquet of poppies the morning of her wedding.
The flower bundles at farmers' markets are so pretty, why not just leave as is and add a pretty ribbon? I think it could be a super chic wedding bouquet and for $5, saying it's budget-friendly is an understatement! You can see my full article over at Project Wedding.
These sweet peas smell delicious!
I think these tiny, variegated zinnias are so sweet and I love the combo of the windowpane ribbon.
How I love dahlia season! The blue velvet ribbon is the perfect touch to these sumptuous blooms.

You did such a great job with these photos : ) I adore this!

Sweet peas are my absolute favourite flower. You can never get them at flower markets here, but they're the first thing I'll grow if I ever get a balcony!!

Ooooh! Love! :) I love simple and inexpensive bouquets for brides. It just goes to show you that money isn't everything for the wedding. I l love that this particular bride picked them the day of the wedding! How calming and serene for her I'm sure. :)
XOXO-

I love these.. esp the first two. I have a weak spot for sweet peas.

I love easy wildflower bouquets. They look so beautiful, but never stiff or over manicured. We used some parking-lot posies at my birthday party (picture here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/44094756@N05/4850170381/) and they added so much!
Love the sweetpea shot, Chelsea!
