Trend - Brooch Bouquets

Ever since Miranda Lambert was married this spring I have noticed she started a trend of having your bridal bouquet made from antique brooches. It is an interesting take on something that has otherwise been pretty standard for years. I think it is great because it allows a way to add a lot of sentiment if you are able to use any family pieces in it. It will also last forever and can become a piece of art and a memento from your wedding. You could even pass it down to your children someday! Also, it allows you to add colors that you may not typically be able to achieve from traditional flowers. Though it is super 'blingy' and often very spendy to have made, I don't like that it misses the whole big fluffy bouquet thing that I personally love. But I do love love love the ones that are combined with silk flowers, fabric and feathers because it adds volume and texture but still has that something vintage, sentimental and sparkly vibe. What is your take on the brooch bouquets? Here are a few of my picks from Etsy, and below the girl that started it all Mrs. Blake Shelton.

I love that as I am looking at her photo her song just came on T.V.! =)
