One single rose?

what do u all think about bridesmaids carrying one single rose? has anyone done that? how did it work out? and would you get the rose from a florist or just buy it the day of the wedding at a grocery store? i cannot afford three bouquets.

One single rose?
i asked this same thing two weeks ago the exzact question exsept i had 7 bridesmaids and yes ppl have done it it can look breath taking it's way cheaper to go to wal-mart and buy your roses and ribben there then have a florist do it. i asked the florist. heres a you tube vid with instructions

also i ened up getting daisys my bouquet was 35 dollars each girls 10 bucks more then i wanted to spend but it was less stressful and the same price it would have been for each girl to have one rose from a florist. as somebody who researched the same thing there you go. hope it helped
Reply:For a bride on a budget flowers could seem expensive but you could do other things like parasols if it is an out door wedding. http://asianideas.com/chum1.html

You could always try a fuller flower like a hydrangea, the price per stem should be similar to a rose. If you want to do the single rose I would just make sure to take off all of the greenery. You could add ribbon but I don't think that would add a lot to it. If you aren't really concerned about the flowers I would suggest going to Costco or Sam's Club for the flowers, a grocery store would be fine too.
Reply:One single rose would be very beautiful, but add a sprig of delicate fern and tie the two together with a simple bow with long ends to make it more professional. You should be able to get the ribbon for the bows at a sewing supply store. The simple things are the most beautiful when it all comes down to it. Have a great day.
Reply:It sounds just fine. A nice ribbon around the stem in your wedding colors would look nice. It is your day and you shouldn't worry about anything but making you and your groom happy. If you want the bridesmaids to have 1 flower or 50 flowers its up to you. I am not sure if you are near a Safeway store, but their roses are beautiful and always 9.99 a dozen.
Reply:i am doing this same thing also, i think it is simple much less expensive and pics i have seen it looks really good, i will have a ivory ribbon around them hanging down a little,

i was going to just go to the supermarket and pick some up but found some really beautiful fake ones you can hardly tell that they are not real
Reply:Sounds beautiful. Maybe also tie a ribbon that matches their dresses around the rose stem. my girls carried candles down the aisle. I decorated a candle holder with some small flowers and ribbons. They carried tall tapered candles down the aisle.
Reply:I will be doing this for my wedding to cut costs!!! And i think its absoulutly BEAUTIFUL. I dont like when the girls walk down and alll you see is a bunch of flowers. It will focus more on the lady than the flowers themselves!! Good luck!

Reply:It will be unique since not many people will do that which is nice, and also will be beautiful and will show 1 LOVE.
Reply:That sounds nice simple yet pretty! I would go to a grocery store the day of the wedding.
Reply:i'm not doing bouquets. I want them to carry 3-4 lilies. :) Yeah a single rose would be cute. I LOVE that idea!
Reply:i think its different, simple and beautiful!
Reply:That is what my sister did at her wedding. She bought them that day at Sam's. It was pretty and simple. To be honest, no one said anything bad about them...there is no bouquet police :)
