Single rose for bridesmaids?

Good morning! I would appreciate your thoughts on using a single long-stemmed rose for the bridesmaids to carry. I don't want to spend a ton when the bouquets will just be put down and forgotten after the ceremony but I do want them to have something in their hands. I am only worried that it might...

Looks kind of weird. I'm using the bouquets as centerpieces too. What about having then wear a crousage? Simple & inexpensive

I think it will look cheap. I'd rather see no bouquets then a single Rose.

I think a small carnation bouquet would be cheap and still look nice. A single rose would like kind of weird.

I'm not feeling the single rose. What I did was incorporated the bridal party bouquets into the reception decorations. That helped saved cost.

I've been to a wedding where they carried one Lilly and they cradled it. I found it to look very odd.

Wait I don't think $30 should be a dealbreaker for your BM bouquets. How many do you have, that cutting that small expense would be able to pay for anything else in your budget?

I was in a wedding where we did a single rose and it had some greenery. Honestly I didn't think twice about it but they looked fine.

It looks pretty. Do what you love.

I personally wouldn't criticize the bridesmaid bouquets at a wedding, because it's not something to give a rats ass about.

I think it's pretty but I think 3-5 roses would look better.

1 Rose - my first thought was is this the Bachelor...although I am a very simple person and think the idea of a couple flowers is fine - like 3-4 per person...you could go to a local grocery store and get 10-20 flowers for very cheap and be done with it...not sure how many are in your bridal party...I would just stay away from roses unless you have a few

Hydrangeas are a nice option and could easily be incorporated into your bouquet to coordinate. Your MOH could have a few flowers mixed in to differentiate her too. I've seen them done as a single and it looks nice because it's still pretty full.

Maybe one sunflower but I agree with one rose looking like the bachelor

You can do one giant flower. They sell them at Michaels. But one regular size flower would be odd imo
