My custom bouquet charms arrived and I couldn’t be happier! I ordered three custom charms from Etsy seller Designs by Tami. Using digital scans of their wedding photos, I ordered one charm for each of my grandmothers and one for my uncle. Each charm has a photo on one side and a name on the other side. Lucky for me, Tami used my charms to create a custom listing for the charms:



If you are interested in ordering bouquet charms I would highly recommend Tami. She contacted me right after I made the purchase and I emailed her the photos. She sent me back a proof of the cropped images and text. Once I approved the proof I received the charms a week later! Click here to be directed to the custom listing on Etsy.
There are many ways to incorporate unique pieces into your wedding bouquet. Mrs. Tiramisu used a piece of her grandmother’s wedding dress:

Mrs. Lime used earrings to create bouquet lockets:

Are you planning to incorporating anything special into your bouquet?
I have two things I want to incorporate into my bouquet: the first is pictures of my cats in bouquet charms. Yes, it’s totally silly and most people think I’m a little crazy for wanting to do this, but I do love my cats and totally think of them as my kids and if it were possible to train them they would be the ring bearers at the wedding! So using their pictures in my bouquet is something small I can do so at least I’ll have their pictures with me on the big day.
The other thing I’m incorporating I just thought of the other night and I’m still not sure how I’m going to do it. There’s the old saying that in addition to old, new, borrowed and blue the bride should put a sixpence in her shoe. I don’t have any handy sixpence, but I do have a pirate medallion that my dad gave me as a gift a few years ago. My dad very rarely gives me presents that he found himself (all of my previous birthday and Christmas presents that have had his name on it have actually been shopped for by my mom); this is one of only two in recent memory and it’s the one that’s easier incorporated into a bouquet (too big to fit in my shoe comfortably). I don’t know if I’m going to tuck it somewhere within the flowers or maybe attach it to the stems along with the charms, but I think I want it in there somehow as a nod to my dad (since I know he’s a little bummed that he won’t be walking me down the aisle).
