actually, we're going with an oriental theme. My bridemaids will carry colorful fans instead of flowers. And my bouquet will be small as well, but hopefully we'll be able to find some flowers that have an "oriental" feel to them...
Jay and I love the oriental look, we have our apartment decorated with pretty shoji tables and pictures...and room divider with a pretty oriental design on it...my bridesmaids will wear oriental type dresses...i know it sounds strange, but some of the dresses I have found are incredibly elegant, and a lot cheaper than regular bridesmaid dresses!!!
