Wedding Inspiration: Brooch Bouquets

A couple of days ago my grandma (who is OBSESSED with Pinterest) pinned this absolutely gorgeous brooch bouquet.I instantly fell in love. I really hadn't given much thought about a brooch bouquet before. I've seen them on Pinterest and wedding blogs, but never considered the idea for my own bouquet. I've been so focused on finding the perfect flowers and colors and such. But something about this one just made me obsessed with the idea. It just looks so chic and sophisticated while also having a lot of uniqueness and flair. Amy commented on the pin and said she would start looking for brooches if I really want to do it, and if we can find brooches that look as great together as this (and some of the other lovely ones I have found) I would love to!

I love how you can pretty much take any combination of styles of brooches, and even colors, and somehow it all looks like it was meant to go together to begin with. The middle one with all of the different colored brooches is so much fun!

Wedding Inspiration: Bouquets

I previously mentioned that I 1. won a free bridesmaid bouquet from One of a Kind Events and 2. set up a real appointment with their consultant Linda to discuss wedding flower things. I also mentioned how I was pretty clueless about the whole thing. Luckily, my friend and bridesmaid, Meredith, got on top of it for me! Sometimes I swear my lovely friends are more on top of my wedding stuff than I am! She sent me a link to a list of flowers that are in season around February and March, plus some examples of bouquets. Crisis averted! Now I will feel a little more prepared when I go to my appointment in a couple of weeks.

I can't decide between going for a completely soft flower palette, or injecting some brighter colors in as well. I'm leaning more towards incorporating some pops of color (at least in my bouquet) to have a more "shades of pink" feel. I am completely in love with the first photo. The flowers and colors just look so dreamy.
