How Cotton Candy Is Replacing Wedding Bouquets For A Sweet Celebration!

It’s finally happened – he proposed. He got down on one knee and asked you if you would be with him for the rest of his life – and he did it with the most beautiful diamond ring you’ve ever seen.

While the novelty hasn’t worn off yet, the reality of planning your wedding is already starting to sink in. Weddings aren’t cheap – in fact, it can be difficult to execute your dream wedding on a budget, and did we mention that it’s stressful?

Surprisingly, one of the most expensive parts of your wedding could end up being the flowers. Florists charge an impressive sum to make up bouquets for your wedding. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to start thinking outside the box.

One of the newest trends is replacing wedding bouquets – and it may surprise you.

Cotton Candy is Taking Over

Believe it or not, cotton candy seems to be the latest trend when it comes to wedding bouquet alternatives. I mean, what’s not to love about carrying a sweet treat down the aisle?

Think about it. You loved cotton candy as a child and lived for it every time your mom took you to the fair. While you may have grown up thinking you would have flower bouquets at your wedding, it’s 2019 – why not try something totally outside of the norm?

You can bring back that nostalgic flavor from when you were growing up, along with the color. The soft pastel pink of a spindle of cotton candy is the perfect accompaniment to the fluorescence in your diamond ring. This will help it to really stand out in those wedding photos!

The Bride and the Bridesmaids

While you may just be thinking of your own wedding bouquet and transforming it into a deliciously light sweet treat, there’s no reason to limit this idea to just yourself.

A lot of brides lately have been taking on this trend and upsizing it, planning it out so that each one of their bridesmaids also has a bouquet of cotton candy. What do the pictures look like, you ask? They’re fun, they’re playful, and everyone still looks amazing.

Cotton Candy and Pizza?

You may be surprised to know that this isn’t the first time traditional wedding bouquets have been swapped for delicious food items. In 2019 there were brides that had the genius idea of swapping out their bouquet of flowers for pizza, donuts and even cotton candy recipe.

When you think about how creative this is, you start to think about what else you can do to make your wedding truly memorable. While it’s fun to keep convention, it’s even more fun to toe the line and plan things out the way you want them.

Edible Fun

It’s difficult to imagine anyone not wanting to hold a bouquet of cotton candy at a wedding – we can’t think of a single reason why this wouldn’t be a good idea.

Not only are they going to look simply adorable, but they’re going to taste great, too. You can end up getting quite hungry at your wedding, especially if you haven’t eaten for nerves. If you can hang onto your cotton candy bouquet long enough for the photo shoot, you’ve got yourself a nice sweet snack to indulge in after.

While it’s honorable to uphold traditions, it’s also fun to scrap them now and then, too.

If you’ve just gotten engaged and you’ve got a wedding to plan, don’t stress too much. Why not make the entire process a bit more relaxed and try to get as creative as you can with it? The new trends are in, and they throw some carefree fun into the mix.
