I'm doing herbs and hops! I'll share after my wedding! I'm soooo excited about it!

what are hops? Sounds like it will be different and I am sure very pretty!

This is difficult to photograph... but I made my bouquet out of crystals. I put a sparkly silver ribbon for the handle.. and a soft pink to match my shoes and accessories. I also added some small sparkly butterflies around the pink so that my Dad is still there with me walking me down the aisle. I lost him last year to metastatic melanoma. But he spent his last days "catching" butterflies from his hospital bed and often I am visited by real butterflies during special moments. So they have very special meaning.

I can't lay it down or it crushes... so I got this vase and glass to sit it in at the table that day.

I had a pretty traditional bouquet, but there are lots of non-floral options out there

Feathers

Mo feathers

fucking love succulents.

And of course brooch bouquets

I had wanted to put a few copper roses in my bouquet (would have gone great with my steampunk aesthetic) but never got around to it. Ah well.

Personally, the style of your bouquet @StickEmUpKitty I think looks best when it's over the top and full. Maybe make it a little bigger/more luxe? Like this

That copper one is cool.
My bouquet is complete and I love it. I am not the flashy type so I purposely made mine small and understated. It is what best suits my personality.

So many pretty options!

So sorry about your dad. Ugh. That's so rough. But lovely way to include him in your bouquet. I'll be tying my great grandmother's pocket watch to mine. Totally not the same, obviously, and I never met her. But she wore the watch in her 1920s wedding and I know she'd be blown away to know it will be in mine too. 90 years later.

Hops are these little green pinecone-looking things that smell like juniper and that make beer bitter and tasty. I'm a homebrewer and my FI and I collect rare beers so I'm excited!

Hops.

Oh that is really sweet about the pocket watch! And now I know what you mean hops are.. that will look beautiful.

Thanks!!!

I made a jewelry bouquet with fake ivory hydrangeas as the base and I wanted something non-flowery for my BM's. I couldn't decide on anything I really loved though (and doing all jewelry bouquets was going to get expensive!) so I decided to go with each BM carrying 3 hydrangeas - cheap and simple.

@jenijoyk, I almost did the same thing! I can't wait to see pics of how yours turned out.

I made pearl bouquets for myself, my BM and FG. FG bouquet isn't shown

I'm making a jewelry bouquet. I found a ton of little buttons that look like jewelry and my aunt gave me some brooches she doesn't wear anymore. I added some cloth flowers to make it look softer. It's still a work in progress, but I like it so far!
