Brooch Bouquets

My mom was in a wedding as a bridesmaid and they all had broach bouquets! it was so cool because everyone had something unique! They had friends and family collect the broaches from antique stores to donate to the wedding, then all the bridesmaids and bride got together to make them. My mom got to personally pick which one's she liked in her bouquet and got to keep it forever as a keep sake!

A friend of mine did a broach bouquet and for her bridesmaids she did paper flowers made from comic books! They have a Marvel themed wedding kind of so it was fitting for them. Eventhe mens bouts were paper flowers. It all tied together nicely but I think with a bridal bouqet like that you can do anything for the bridesmaids as long as its simple and it'll look great.

View Quoted Comment I just finished my own brooch bouquet and trying to decide what to do for my party! The wedding your mom was in sounds like a cool idea, but they are just so much work lol... idk if I’m ready to make 3 more bc I don’t think my party would enjoy making them... and I’d probably want to do them myself so they come out how id like them (OCD) lol.

View Quoted Comment I’ve thought about paper flowers... thank you!

View Quoted Comment Haha totally understandable! You could do fake flowers and then add one or two broaches to each BM bouquet to tie them in with yours

I’m doing a brooch bouquet 💐 for my bridesman. Just simple white flowers with some greens

I am doing a broach boquet and my BM will have silk flowers with a few brooches to tie into mine.

I had a brooch bouquet and bout made but we aren't having a bridal party but if I did, I would do faux flowers for their bouquets/bouts and just make mine the brooch bouquet.

View Quoted Comment I may look into silk flowers.

I’m doing brooch bouquets mixed with velvet flowers and feathers for myself and my bridal party.

I made brooch bouquets for my all my bridesmaids. They were smaller than my own.

I customized each and included things they like. Here they are in a basket before we left for the church.

View Quoted Comment Hi Carmen! You did a great job on th see bouquets. They're beautiful! How long did it take you to do each and how many brooches did you need for a small styrofoam ball?
