bouquet alternative?

Let me start off by saying that I am not a flowery kind of gal.  Most real flowers I get I kill within a day or two.  Don't ask how it's possible; I'm just terrible with flowers.  That being said:

What do you all think of this bouquet alternative?



A felt flower bouquet.  Won't die, and it's absolutely adorable!

    if you are not a flower person I think that is a great idea! it is very original and pretty !!!


    however,.. you will be holding on to your bouquet for 2 hours max, I don't think the flowers will die on you ! Nothing is compared to he beauty of natural flowers

    I love it...I agree that paying $$ for flowers that are just going to die is pretty silly. Go for it!

    I have a friend who had a felt bouquet and it was amazing and perfectly her style!  I say go for it if it's more along the lines of what you want.

    I LOVE this idea.  I have actually considered doing a broche bouquet myself.  My question is what do you throw during the bouquet toss?

    i think its beautiful! i would also consider button bouqets, felt (like previously mentioned), tissue or crepe paper flowers, lanturns, some sort of greenery (grasses, large leaves), adding feathers to any of those would be a great filler hmm if i think of more i will post em

    I did bouquets similar to this, using ribbon flowers and buttons instead of felt. There are photos and instructions in my bio. HTH! I love the one you posted!
