Question fun ideas for bride photos

I'm at a loss for a fun shot for the bride & groomsmen. I have something in mind for the groom, & have searched the web for ideas for her but I've come up with nothing. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Have the bride turning her back on the groomsmen, each of whom is reaching out offering her a flower...

Fun or a little crazy.....?

If there is a large party - 5/6+ and there is a second floor (chapel or wedding reception)
...have the bride fall back into the interlocking arms of the groomsmen. In the end, the groomsmen are lifting her as she lays in a horizontal position on her back... Position her dress appropriately.
The kicker - you shoot from the second floor balcony looking down. Depending on the floor texture PP in BW or color.
ps - this assumes nobody will get hurt and everybody is physically able.

I moved this thread to Talk so more people can see it and answer.

I love Toogy's (Jeff) work on groups at weddings. I have used his examples for my groomsmen. He groups them in such a way that they look perfectly natural and proportioned. I like the groomsmen holding the bride up and jackets off, holding the jackets casually.
