This is part 2 in our series of flower alternatives. There are so many different materials you can use to make centerpieces and bouquets other than fresh flowers, which can be terribly expensive. If you have a little DIY skill or just want to buy something that lasts longer than a few days, feathers are a lovely option. Ribbons, feathers and hot glue and i think you’d be set! 
These lovely examples are all from Emplume.

Love it! I am doing fresh purple flowers in my centerpieces and was looking to incorporate another color, most likely teal, and do it inexpensively. Feathers might be a good option! Thanks : )
The feather bouquets are so cool! I absolutely love that idea as an alternative! I wish I could get married (to my husband) every five years and have a wedding all over again!
