Wedding Bouquet Alternative, Part 1

As you all know, I'm allergic to flowers, and so one of the biggest undecided items has been what in the world do I and the ladies hold while walking down the aisle?  I've been through many a suggestion and for the next few weeks I'll show what I've eliminated, and hopefully, what we'll end up using.  I should note that we haven't yet found an acceptable alternative. Here's hoping.

Eliminated Bouquet Alternative, Part 1

Pretty in the photo, right? Yeah, not so pretty in person. Fake flowers just look so.... fake. And to make them not look fake, you'd have to pony up a lot more than you would if you just got real flowers in the first place.

Thankfully, the sample I bought didn't completely go to waste.  One of my coworkers has a grandmother in Brooklyn who loves fake flowers.  So I gave it to her.

So, no fake flowers.

How about clay flowers? Then you get to keep your bouquet forever!

@jessie - thanks for the link! though i worry that anything that will look realistic will exceed our budget. it's worth sending a few emails though.
