This Wedding in Sydney, Australia Featured a Bouquet Made of Donuts
Alyson Wyers — September 14, 2017 — Lifestyle
Many brides today are making unconventional decisions for their weddings, and flowers are no exception -- as this bouquet made of donuts proves. Aussie bride Paige Kirk recently surprised her bridesmaids with donut bouquets, foregoing more traditional choices like peonies or roses, or even recently popular wild assortments. She told the BBC "Me and my husband Steven thought it would be different, fun and light hearted." This is a concept other relaxed married couples-to-be could consider.
The unusual edible bouquets were decorated with ivory accents to match the wedding dress. They came from a local company called Dessert Boxes, which gifted the bouquets made of donuts to the newlywed couple as part of a competition.
