friday favorites | bridal bouquet

I love flowers.

LOVE them.

I have flowers and pictures of flowers all over my house, so it stands to reason that some of my favorite details from a wedding day are the bouquets.

When my friend, Heather, told me that she was going to have a brooch bouquet for her wedding this past May, my 1st thought was “a what?”  My 2nd thought was “A WHAT?!”

I felt a little nervous and sad because:

1.  I had never seen a brooch bouquet before and I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about it.

2.  NO FLOWERS?!! What in the world?!

Luckily, Heather has a style all her own and knew exactly what she was doing.  As it turns out, this is about the greatest idea I’ve ever heard.  Not only was it GORGEOUS, but also extremely meaningful.  Most of the brooches were family heirlooms and gifts from close friends.  How FANTASTIC is that?!

Heather’s brooch bouquet has easily taken the prize for my Favorite 2012 Bridal Bouquet!
