An emerging alternative to the traditional floral bouquet is the brooch bouquet. You can make a wedding bouquet out of pins/brooches and create a unique wedding keepsake. Take pins of things you like, symbolic pins commemorating things in your relationship with the groom or collect pieces from family members to create something special.
Just keep in mind – it sure is heavy, so you may want to have a special place put aside for it during the reception. Also don’t forget a spare floral bouquet for your reception toss, because tossing this bouquet would take out anyone in its path!
