Fabric Flowers

After much debate, I decided to go with fabric flowers for my wedding bouquets. I just hated the idea of spending so much money on something that will wither away.  I found a fabulous artisan on Etsy.com who did an amazing job for us. They were completely custom made to our theme & colours. All in all, we got 4 bouquets and 4 boutonierres for $500. 


Is anyone else going with fabric bouquets?

    Your flowers are beautiful! I'm doing all paper flowers for center pieces and fabric for bouquets and bouts. It's partially for cost reasons, partially so I can do it ahead of time and partially because if I or others want a memento, we can keep them.

    Plus, I also like the fact that these flowers are going to last forever as a keepsake :)
    That was a HUGE thing for me as well!

    I am making my own brooch bouquets with fabric flowers. Mine is ivory and the BM's are green like their dresses. I am making 6 and probably spent about $40 - $50 for supplies. Got most everything with coupons so that helped a lot! We are finishing them up tomorrow (wedding in 10 days!!). The thing that took the longest obviously was putting the flowers together but all in all it was fun and a huge cost saver for me! My daughters (8 and 10) and I made some of our own brooches using pearls and rhinestones so that saved $ as well. What's great is that they are keepsakes so they will be able to look at their bouquets in the future and remember the fun we had making the brooches. I used pins, buttons, earrings, shoe clips, etc. Whatever fit my theme and looked good. I also borrowed some brooches (something borrowed) from friends which was totally appreciated! I can't wait to get them done so I can check that off the list! :) I ended up taking the ribbon off of the green one (the BM's bouquets) and it looked so much better!

    I love your flower choice. Very soft and romantic and will be a beautiful keepsake. I was considering fabric flowers for just the bridal party and then having fresh flowers everywhere else but I haven't fully decided just yet.
