Flower Alternatives: Baby’s Breath

Okay, so I know Baby’s breath IS a type of flower, but in this case, it’s a great alternative to bloomier blossoms in that it is super cost-effective and in large amounts can create a stunning effect. How gorgeous and dreamy are these arrangements?

  • I love love love budget conscious baby's breath! You can really sculpt with it.

  • Jen G:

    I'm planning on using it for our aisle. My mom is using napkins and folding them to make pockets that the baby's breath will sit in and they will line the pews of the church.

  • Danetha:

    I have been seriously considering DIY baby's breath for the bridesmaid's bouquets. I'm carrying a button bouquet made from some of my great-grandmother and grandmother's old buttons and I wanted something that would be make-ahead for the bridesmaids as well. Most people are like "What???" when I say that idea out loud, but they are generally open to the idea once they see pictures. Thanks for posting this great DIY alternative to "normal" flowers :-)

  • Baby's breath is a great idea! The pictures are gorgeous. I'll definitely let our savvy brides know about this budget-saving idea!
