Vintage Brooch Bouquets

Amanda Heer from Fantasy Floral Designs recently emailed me to share these insanely beautiful non-floral bouquets. They are all made from vintage brooches, so no two are alike. Images by Alice Hu who you might remember from this gorgeous Art Nouveau inspired tablescape design I posted a while back. Thank you both for sharing with us today!

These vintage bouquets are so delicious to look at they’re like candy…What a nice memento they make!

    Bravo! Love these vintage looks AND perfect for the bride that doesn’t love flowers (or is allergic!)
    I look forward to getting my brides to consider the option
    Cheers!

    What a fabulous idea-not only are they stunning, but they can be saved. I bet you could even add heirloom jewelry from your own family to make it extra special.

    Okay. These are OFFICIALLY my most favorite bouquet idea. And I completely agree with thevintagebride…add heirloom jewelry…or request pieces of jewelry from close friends…to make it even more special. I love this blog! Thanks for the inspiration! Now I’ve just gotta figure out how to make these. Suggestions for DIY?

    I made my own vintage inspired bouquet from fabric & brooches for my wedding last October. I didn’t realize they had become so popular! If you’re interested, I would love to share some pics.

    amanda heer on January 11, 2010

    these are truly a labor of love and hard on the hands to make
    they take 2 full days to make and include the shipping and insurance
    I Just sent one out to a bride that thought she could do it herself
    with one week turn around the bride will have her amazing brooch bouquet tomorrow over night delivery with insurance and tracking#
    I love making these for my brides they are custom designed with you in mind..
    I Like to talk to the bride get info on all your details before making it…..so I can envision you with it on the Big Day

    Those brooch bouquets are darling, and until today I had not seen anyone with a brooch bouquet. Sure makes a unique wedding bouquet, except for one question…. What happens when it’s time for the bride to toss the bouquet? LOL. (Hope this isn’t a duplicate comment – couldn’t get it to work the first time.)

    I just met Amanda in London yesterday and ordered my brooch bouquet – I totally love these and can’t wait to get mine…. I have brooches from friends and family members and even have some pieces from loved ones who have passed away, a great way of having them at my wedding

    I contacted Amanda when I saw these beauties but I could not afford one…but I was determined to have one of these and so I made my own! It turned out amazing and looks just like the ones posted on here only better becuase I made it myself from brooches my friends and family gave me and a few I purchased myself. My fiancee loved the idea and when I went to buy the ribbon for it and took it with me I was stopped every few seconds by someone who wanted to inspect it! I even got an offer from someone to buy it!! I cant wait for my wedding day…

    What fun vintage bouquets. I love how unique these are.

  48. [...] DIY the flowers. Another price shocker that comes with wedding planning is the floral budget. I used the budget tool on TheKnot.com to see what percentage of my (meager) budget I should allocate to flowers, and it spit out $1,600! The good news is that I don’t have to spend nearly this much if I make my own faux flowers! Handmade flowers are super trendy right now, and they can be made of paper or fabric. I’m definitely planning on making these adorable kissing balls from The Idea Room: They’re made out of crepe paper! You can also use silk flowers to make your bouquets and decorations. We’ve got a beautiful DIY pomander project on FaveCrafts made of silk flowers, the Rose Bouquet Ball: I also love the idea of using vintage brooches instead of flowers for your bouquets. I found this one on Ruffled: [...]
