So I’m Miss Brooch, right, and what’s a new wedding trend?
Brooch bouquets!
Did you think I was going to let you down and not live up to mah namesake? No way! This is something I must undertake; it’s only right. I have to be honest, though, and say I’m not totally crazy about the all-brooch bouquets. But I do like the idea of having a few brooches in the bouquets. Especially because I collect butterfly brooches and have been waiting my whole life to find a good use for them.
The butterfly brooches (and maybe some other random vintage brooches) will hopefully complement our garden-chic theme, and maybe this little idea provides some beautiful bouquet photos.
Here are a few favorites from my inspiration file:
How do you feel about brooch bouquets? Did you add brooches to your bouquet?
Very pretty… I love the last bouquet!
Have you started your brooch bouquet yet Miss B? I can’t wait to see yours.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. My friend did one for her wedding that was 100% broaches and it was amazing.
So pretty! Actually, my dress has a brooch and this gives me inspiration!
Those are gorgeous! I’m making my bouquet entirely out of brooches, but I love the real flowers mixed in too.
I think they’re gorgeous - I’ve always liked bouquets with added extras in them.
Those are some pretty inspiration pictures! I like the look of the brooches mixed in with the flowers.
I totally just ordered mine off of etsy yesterday (I posted about it). It has dusty pink roses/peonies although I also love all brooch bouquets. I LOVE brooch bouquets though.
I love it. I had Mr. HW’s greatgrandmother’s brooch on my bouquet, so I’m all for it. Can’t wait to see your collection of butterfly brooches!
I absolutely love mixing the brooches in WITH the flowers. It gives it this spectacular vintage feel and also gives a little bling where you least expect it. What a fantabulous idea!!
I made my bouquet out of all brooches, it’s amazing! Sadly, it would have been way cheaper to just go with flowers but my bouquet is one of a kind. It too awhile to put it together but certainly a labor of love. I can’t wait for everyone to see it. And a bonus, I will build up my muscles cause that thing is heavy! lol
i definitely just died a little. those are GORGEOUS. what a fantastic idea! and how fitting with your WB name!
Those are gorgeous! I have to admit Im not a fan of all brooch bouquets either, but ones with a mix of real flowers and brooches are just stunning!
Loving the last bouquet pictured! I love this idea. And the fact that you already have brooches in the style of your wedding theme is amazing. I have liked the idea of adding a little sparkle with pins. I hadn’t considered brooches until now.
These are gorgeous! I wish I had a few to include in my bouquet.
I made my bouquet entirely out of brooches. We’re having a ceremony with only parents and siblings (grandparents couldn’t travel) so my “something borrowed” are brooches from family and friends. My fiance helped me put them together, it’s amazing! If anyone wants any help, I’ll be more than glad to write a long tutorial!
[...] I found lovelies similar to these while browsing Weddingbee one day and found posts by the amazing Mrs. Brooch, Ms. Sloth and a fantastic tutorial on how to make your own by Ms. [...]

Mrs. Brooch, Arlington, VA Age and Occupation: 25, Writer/Editor Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Front Desk Manager Engagement Date: October 3, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2011 Venue: Oxon Hill Manor About Me: I’m an indecisive girlie-girl with a motor mouth, can-do attitude, and knack for making others laugh. I dream of becoming a best selling novelist like Elizabeth Gilbert or Julie Powell (a girl can dream, right?), and love long road trips, a beautiful countryside, music, blogs, books, and all things vintage/thrift/antique/or homemade. I’m a Virgo, i.e. overly sensitive, emotional, and critical, and there’s no such thing as short and sweet in my world. I want to say and do it all. Mr. Brooch grounds me. I point where to go and he figures out the way. He’s a pragmatic fancy-pants who enjoys video games and movies. We both adore our mutt, Rocky, and spending time with our amazingly supportive family and friends. We’re planning a garden wedding with a formal reception with lots of whimsy and unique, Southern-inspired details.
