Brooch bouquets-still in??

Sara, on January 11, 2017 at 10:48 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 12

Hello,

I'm just curious as to whether or not brooch bouquets are still in? I was planning on making one myself as clost to the image below. My reason being that I am doing a destination wedding to New Orleans and for my ideal bouquet I am getting quotes around $300 US. My service is only 15 minutes and if you add a 35% exchange rate it going to be close to $400 thrown out at the end of the day.

    3 nights about 12 hours, I am planning in adding more flowers to it, storing it crumpled it so it will need some work to make it round again. I suggest to make it a month before the event or store it standing up in a big box so it doesn't get squished.

    Thank you all for your input, I decided to go ahead and try it out. I like the idea of being able to hold onto it for a keepsake.

    I've actually just started ordering the pieces to make it. I stole that image off of an Etsy listing (sorry to the shop owner, but I can't afford the $600...).

    Hello

    That's a very beautiful bouquet and it is so IN! Even if it wasn't I dislike wasting fresh flower and it is a forever keepsake!

    I made my own brooch bouquet I am a member on listia.comq it's an exchange website I got almost all my brooches there for freeà! I also mixed heirloom pieces and bought some on ebay.

    I really love the brooch boquets. There are some stunning ones online as well some more pricey than others. I mentioned adding a brooch or 2 to our flowers as well. What a beautiful keepsake that would be.

    A brooch bouquet sounds totally New Orleans! Could they use silk flowers instead so you could keep it afterwards? If not, at least you'd get to keep the brooches right?

    Even though your ceremony is only 15 minutes I think it could still be worth it if you have the room in your budget because it will be in all your wedding photos and then you could keep the brooches and whenever you used them, it would remind you of your wedding!

    I love brooch bouquets!! If my budget had allowed, I would have one, but alas, even DIY, those bad boys are expensive!
