Non-Flower Boutonniere/Corsage options?

I've seen flowers made from paper, that looks cool!

We got brooches for the mothers instead of corsages.

Paper/origami, buttons, I've even seen Lego figures as bouts! You can find a lot over on Offbeat Bride.

For our moms, we did a variation of the picture below, since it was a December wedding.

I have two different ones, one for FH, and another for the rest of the guys.

FH LOVES golf, so I made him this golf tee bout. And the wedding has a lot of pinwheels, so these are made of felt.

For the moms, I got these pretty bauble bracelets. I haven't decided if we are doing anything for the grandparents yet. Mostly because there are a couple of aunts that feel they should be in the wedding, and would be pissed if they didn't have something too, so we may just stick to parents only.

We are using flags instead of boutonnieres.I have not decided on what the mothers are wearing yet.

We are doing flowers made of cold porcelain. We are getting them through an esty vendor. I'm using the shop doughroses. She's on vacation currently

You can always do wrist corsages with fabric and/or feathers and pearls/jewels. I'm using an old fashioned photo pin with our photos for the groom, guys & dads and wrist corsages for the ladies. Hope these give you some good ideas. You can check on Esty.com for many of them or pick up items at a store like Lobby Hobby and bring to your florist. Good luck!!

Here's more and keep in mind that you could use your old jewelry pieces and bracelets. You'll be surprised what you could find at home. Your florist could then put it all together for you.

I love this one, I'm going to try it! I'm not sure about the corsages thouhg

Those are all great ideas. Personally I love the brooch cluster idea...but you can make SOOOOOOOOOOO many things...do you have a wedding theme?

I think I might look into the brooch idea, granted it'll likely be more expensive than flowers but if it's only for the MOB & MOG we might be able to get by. No theme yet, I haven't even technically figured out our colors though I don't think I'm going to pick just 1-2 primary colors. I'm thinking deep jewel tones, royal blue, plum purple, fuchsia and hints of silver bling. I'm not really craft and I'm the type that gets rid of stuff so I don't have these kinds of things laying around. Maybe I'll have to start hunting at antique stores now!

We are doing guitar pick bouts for the groomsmen and guitar pics and a mini guitar for the groom!
