Brooch bouquets (where I've purchased my brooches)

I'm not going to do real flowers for my bouquet/bridesmaids' bouquets. I'm going with some kind of eco flowers and brooches. I personally want something to last and another personalized gift to give to my ladies. We will have some simple centerpieces that will have real flowers, but those will be...

We will have some simple centerpieces that will have real flowers, but those will be coming from Kroger Smiley smile

Anywho, my best friend and BM is a hardcore online shopper and got me hip to this app/site called Wish. That's where I've ordered/will keep ordering all of my brooches. I've had a very positive buying experience and the packaging has been good too. The brooches range from about $3-$5 (that's including shipping). I'm pretty impressed with the quality, especially because of the price. I'm going to make each BM according to their interests and style.

I'll attach pictures of the ones I've already received and some of the ones to come. This post is just a little bit of possible insight for anyone who's considering having a brooch bouquet.

Pictures will be in the comments.

    I am not talented and honestly I have 0 time between the other wedding and work. I found an etsy shop that does them and this is what we ordered (custom order). A variation of this for my girls without the brooches. Mothers corsages, and boutonnieres for all the men.

    @Mandy, sola flowers are made from a wood pulp so they don't die and they are biodegradable. You can purchase them already dyed or dye them yourself. They can look realistic if done right. There are several brides on here who have shared theirs. Since I don't want to post pics of theirs without their permission, here's a pic I found on google.

    Check out aliexpress as well. Very similar to wish but you may be able to find some different styles since there are different sellers on both.

    @MrsVoegs17, I have like 3-4 sola bouquets favorited on Etsy. Some of them look so cool and I even like the ones with writing/book pages as leaves.

    I just recently had my first Etsy experiences via my wedding jewelry. I've gotten/getting custom made earrings, pendant, and bracelet made. I'm getting some custom/bridesmaid specific jazz made for each of my ladies! I found a wicked talented jewelry designer with reasonable prices on there Smiley smile

    Thank you for sharing. I have a brooch that was my Grandma's and I had thought of attaching it to my vail. I think I like this idea better.

    I did brooch bouquets, H and I had been buying them for about 5 years now, my mom got many from antique and thrift stores. my MOH/bm included on the shower invite if you bring a brooch you can win a door prize, I got a lot from that! It was nice too some of them belonged to family members who passed. I did all different colors and styles, I loved it! I even had a few necklaces I took apart, pendants from Michaels and earrings! Everyone complimented them! Crappy photo but my MOH and mine!
