    hi everyone,
    Does anyone have any ideas of what i could have instead of flowers as they make me sneeze and hurt my nose lol. They are also very expensive i'm on a budget so need something a little cheaper.
    Thank you

    I've seen a lot of 'brooch bouquets'. Or artificial ones as Amy said but I'm not sure if they're just the same price as real ones? Or button bouquets? Have a look on g00gle :) xx

    I was thinking that but i thought if i'm having fake ones i might aswell see if i can get something different altogether, thats my backup if i don't find anything else

    I saw some brilliant bouquets online the other day made with wire and crystal beads

    what colour scheme have you gone with? do you have a theme for your wedding?

    My bouquet
    My bouquet


    This was my bouquet. As we got married in Vegas and the chapel there basically only gave the choice of red or yellow roses for the bouquet (included in the package), my mum made this for me. It took her a long time but I think it was lovely to have something made just for me and it's absolutely a unique one-of-a-kind!

    Artificial flowers look lovely if u get the right ones,not the cheap looking ones that look plastic,u can get lots of real looking ones... Our venue flowers are artificial but u can't tell unless u touch them x

    I'm making my own brooch bouquet. really enjoying it and like the idea of it being something I have done myself. It's not a cheap alternative though as I am up around the £100 mark now but because I have bought brooches over time from charity shops and E bay I haven't felt like I have spent very much at all!

    When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours
    we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying
    weirdness and call it love, true love.

    Artificial definitely the way forward when it comes to allergies! some florists charge more, some charge less but there are a lot of sites online full of beautiful arrangements and pre made bouquets and quite a few names over bookface you can try! xx

    I really like the pearl one krissy posted and the crystal ones. Little Kettle's is stunning, I can see why it took a long time to make.
