PLEASE HELP!!! ~~~BROOCH AND FLOWER BOUQUETS~~~ POLL


Recommended Posts

I have collected well over 160 brooches, and now I want to start on my bouquets. I like the idea of a brooch bouquet but I'm not into all brooches, I'd rather both brooch and real touch flowers. I'm very undecided as to which direction to go with flowers. I have selected some bouquets that I like and would like your opinion on which do you think would be the best choice. These would be for my bridesmaids, but I will only do the inverse of the bridesmaidâ€s bouquet in white with some color in it.

 

The brooches that I have collected have been aqua, yellows, oranges, etc

 

The ones that I have collected for me are swarovski crystal.

 

Here is my wedding pallette. Colors Seafoam/Palm Beach Coral/Silver Enhancements.

BM's will be wearing seafoam and coral and my MOH will wear silver

Hey Shay!

 

I love that youâ€re doing a real touch/brooch bouquet.   So hereâ€s my $.02, hopefully it helps.

 

I think the type of floral bouquet you choose may depend on the size of the brooches used.  Options 1, and 5 are my favorites, but I think they would look best with  small crystal brooches, while  3 and 6 would be best for medium to large brooches and in any color.  And while I really like option 2, I have never seen one done with all calla lilies, which isnâ€t a bad thing, but it makes me think that it may be harder to hide the wire/stems  that will be attached to the brooches since callas arenâ€t a full flower.

 

Do you have any pics of flower/brooch bouquets that have inspired you?

I guess I'm biased since I had a brooch and real touch bouquet, but I think it's a great idea! cheesy.gif

 

And I agree with Miss ChocoTaco, the sizes of the brooches would probably impact the kind of flowers. I used just white roses for mine, since they were nice and full and the brooches nestled between them nicely. I couldn't get the roses, callas and brooches to play nicely together when I tried it.

 

All of your inspiration pics are gorgeous! But 3 and 6 would be my picks, they just look like they would work well with brooches to me.

 

Can't wait to see your pics!

thanks for $.02 cheesy.gif, the brooches are medium-large and then I have small brooches (which are really crystal buttons). I was planning on inserting the small button brooches in the flower and using the medium-large ones throughout the bouquet for myself. The BM brooches are small to medium-small, and they are all colored. I do have some of them that are crystal for them. I think you are right about the wire part with bouquet number 2, but they may work for the BM's only and I would have to put more fuller flowers in mine and use the lilies sporadically in my bouquet as color.  

 

I have no inspiration on brooch and flower since there are not many online to compare against. I'm looking for a more exotic-beach bouquet. So whichever inspiration from above I choose will have orchids, because I think they bring that very tropical feel.

Thanks for the reply, Did you eventually make the bouquet or did you end up buying it? do you have a picture?

I totally get the tropical feel that you're going for, which is why 1 and 5 were my favs. But with added info from you and Erica's response, I think option 3 would be best. I can't wait to see them when you're done.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
