For a few years now, I've noticed that there is a growing trend with brides carrying vintage brooch bouquets. I've come across brides who either have made their own or purchased one. It's a great way to add personalization to your wedding or even a way to honor a special family member. Maybe you have a grandmother or an aunt that collects them that would love to lend or even gift you some of her favorite pieces for your bouquet. Some brides have also scoured thrift stores or estate sales for some rare finds that they can incorporate into their bouquets.

If you don't find yourself the type to DIY such an art piece, you can also go thru some designers who can customized one for you. Etsy offers many different vendors to choose from. One of my favorite designers though is Amanda Heer of Fantasy Floral Designs. Some of her work have been one of the best brooch bouquets I've seen. David Tutera even ordered a customized brooch bouquet from her for one of his weddings that was featured on his TLC show.
