Are you planning on creating an heirloom of the future for your wedding day?
We’ve found some amazing designs and bouquet crafters whose work might just blow you away!
Heirloom bouquets have quickly gained popularity because they offer brides the chance to really add a personal touch to their bouquet, rather than opting for a regular floral posy. Maybe your mum or grandmother gave you one of their brooches that you want to add to your posy? A brooch bouquet gives you the option off adding whatever sentimental pieces you like! They work well in vintage weddings as they add a touch of quaintness to your day.
This stylish silk rose and brooch bouquet was crafted by Lucy for her own wedding day in 2011. Whilst designing and making it she discovered she loved the process and soon after her wedding day, Lucy Pearl was born! Each of Lucy’s bouquets are custom designed and made. You can see more designs on her Facebook page.
Of course you don’t have to stick to traditional ivories, brooch bouquets can take on many guises and can be as colourful as you want! We love this funky bright bouquet by Carrie at Best Of Buds, Tralee.
