PHOTOS: Try Herbs as an Alternative to Flowers at Your Wedding

By Rachel Wilkerson, Lover.ly

There are so many beautiful blooms to choose for your wedding flowers, but we love the idea of skipping flowers in favor of another type of green: herbs. Herbs are often overlooked when it comes to weddings, but more and more couples are discovering just how gorgeous -- and practical -- these plants can be. They are perfect for a rustic chic wedding, conjuring up images of the French countryside, but they are also a great choice for a simple, modern city wedding. They work in bouquets, but also on the dessert table. And besides being versatile, they can be an inexpensive, easy-to-DIY option for couples without much time or budget to spare. See the slideshow for our favorite ways to use herbs at your wedding.
