I was on a budget when planning my wedding. Total, we spent around $12,000. Most of that going to the venue which included food and alcohol. It was a beautiful golf course/casino/hotel in Scottsdale, AZ. Immediately, I knew I didn't want to spend money on florals, which left the question; what should I do about my bouquet. Came across brooch bouquets in my quest for unique, non-traditional bouquets. Fell in love with the idea, but wanted to make it myself because that's just who I am. Now my only "floral" budget is my amazing bouquet that I get to keep forever and it sits delightfully on display in our living room.

BOUQUETS:
These bouquets are all made from thrifted/antique/vintage/estate sale items with love. Bringing new life to flower bud vases and candlesticks by turning them into the handles. The bling can come from anywhere; necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, shoe clips, and yes some newly bought pieces. The material underneath the bling is a variety of lace ribbon, satin ribbon, glitter tulle, even vintage wedding dresses.
THINGS TO NOTE:
Bouquets range in weight from approx. 1.5lbs - 2.5lbs. That's like carrying a 24oz water bottle or a quart of milk down the aisle
If you are participating in the 'throwing of the bouquet' - DO NOT THROW your brooch bouquet! 🤣🤕
Do not give to toddlers or dogs!
When handled properly and taken care of, your bouquet should last "As long as your love does". All the bling is meticulously hot-glued and pinned down for extra durability
Glitter Disclaimer: Precautions have been taken to try to stop glitter from shedding. However, glitter will be glitter. Any bouquet with glitter tulle will provide extra sparkle on you.
Enjoy your day, have an amazing wedding that fits your relationship, and don't forget to post your bouquet pictures @blingnbouquet
