Has anyone ever combined real flower and a few brooches in their bouquet? Or even with fake flowers? Im not sure I want to commit to a brooch bouquet. It seems like a good idea but Ive never seen it done really. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I’d like to know this too. I don’t want a complete brooch bouquet. What I’ve been looking at is satin flowers with brooches.

Just Google ‘flower and brooch bouquet’ and check the images. When I did that, it came up with lots of photos.

@jaijaig88: that is what I’m doing for my bridal bouquet! I really wanted a brooch bouquet- but I am not a DIY girl and the ones I found online were more than twice what the florist is charging me. So now, it’s best of both worlds 😉
Now to find some beautiful but inexpensive brooches…

@CocoLoco523: thats pretty much what im looking for. Are those real or fake flowers? I cant tell.
Anyone else have pics or ideas?

Has anybody put beaded/jewelry accents besides brooches in their bouquet?

@jaijaig88: Yes–I did it for my bouquet, MoH bouquet, and the toss bouquet. Just get some brooches, florist wire, and florist tape. Skewer the brooch, bend the wire forming a “stem” and wrap with the tape. Just make your bouquet and add the brooches wherever you’d like them. A florist can add these for you too, but it’s easy and less expensive if you do it yourself.

This was my toss bouquet, made with silk flowers.

@jaijaig88: Thanks! I got my brooches at estate sales–they’re generally happy to give you a bunch for $10 or $20, or just a few dollars each.

You most certainly can use a mix of both! Here are a few using a mix that I happen to find gorgeous!
