Kissing balls vs. bouquets

Are kissing balls more expensive? Can you have your bridesmaids all carry kissing balls? Opinions please?

You can do whatever you want but from what I gather it is the FGs that carry the kissing balls instead of a basket of flowers. I prefer the b-qs for the BMs.

Just considering mixing things up a bit. I won't have a flower girl and I thought the kissing balls were interesting.

I think they're adorable - my 2 FG's carried kissing balls.

I think it would be different to have your BM's carry them - and a nice keepsake if you use flowers good for drying. That is, if they don't fall apart by the end of the night...that happened with my FG's...

I've seen BMs carrying kissing balls. Personally I prefer the BoK but it's your wedding so you have the freedom to switch things up a bit!

I just met with Lori from LA Blossom last night and I asked her about the kissing ball. She told me by the time we got to the reception it would be falling apart.

I'm not sure if this worked but if so all of the bridal party is carrying a kissing ball

I priced them for my FG's and they are much more expensive than bok's or baskets. I love them, put personally prefer them for the younger attendants.

Re: Kissing balls vs. bouquets

Okay, good to know. Thanks everyone. I guess between the higher price and the falling apart I will stick with bouquets! But I think I will have ribbons trail down from them. That'll be my slightly different thing!
