The Buttonholes and Corsages are usually based on the design of the bride’s bouquet, this way all of the flowers tie into each other creating that high end look.
Once you have an idea of the flowers that are being used then the extras can be added to give the Buttonholes and Corsages a little more sparkle, such as diamanté pins, sprays and ribbon.

Male artificial buttonholes are worn on the left side of the shoulder, close to their hearts. The Buttonholes should come with a pin or with magnets. If the artificial buttonhole comes with a pin, slide the pin through the back of the buttonhole and then weave it through the men’s jacket.

Ladies Corsages are typically worn a little differently, but this is entirely your choice. Usually the ladies Corsage is worn with the flowers facing downwards and the stem upwards on a slight slant. Same as the men’s buttonhole the corsage can be pinned on or magnets can be used if they are already made into the Corsage.

Things to consider:

The focal flower used in the Bouquets.
The colours of your wedding theme.

It is extremely important that you match the buttonholes with your colour scheme and flowers used in the other bouquets, otherwise if your buttonholes and corsages don’t match this would look really horrible and would stand out in your wedding photos.

Don’t you just love brooch bouquets? They bring edge, sparkle and sophistication to any wedding day. Not only that you can keep them forever!

Brooch Bouquets are so sparkly and full of personality. You can add any piece of jewellery that has meaning to you like your grandmothers necklace for example. The love for your items of jewellery and brooches are what create the perfect Bridal bouquet to show off on your big day.  All Brooch bouquets can be created to suit your theme and personality. Personally I think that Brooch Bouquets have more of a meaning and resemblance on your wedding day than any fresh flower bouquet. Be different and give that “WOW” factor.

Creating your own brooch bouquet

Creating your own brooch bouquet cannot get any easier all you need is a bunch of brooches; you could do this by asking members of family or just buy them online. Try and incorporate the brooches into your wedding day by sticking to a certain amount of colours or primary colour, you don’t want the bouquet to end up looking messy. Grab yourself some florist wire, tape and some pliers and start creating. Brooch bouquets need a lot of patience to ensure that you get it right.

Jewelled bouquets contain less brooches and more silk flowers, giving your bouquet the wow factor but with more sophistication.  Creating your shape with the flowers firstly then adding your accessories for that extra sparkle; weaving the brooches in-between the petals gives the bouquet a stunning look.

Artificial flowers have come a long way and can look incredibly realistic, most people wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference between artificial flowers and fresh flowers.  The attention to detail of artificial wedding flowers is nothing short of astonishing; even the professional florists have been fooled by these amazingly realistic designs.  Not only that artificial flowers will last the full day and will look as beautiful as they did when you received them as they do not wilt unlike fresh flowers, there would be nothing worse that carrying around a limp, dying Bouquet.  Artificial flowers are the way forward and are giving fresh flowers some serious competition.

Artificial flowers are always in season, you can have whatever type of flowers you want, whatever the season. A lot of brides find themselves disappointed when they visit their florist and are told that the flowers that they had dreamt of are not in season and won’t be available, making the bride change her entire look of her wedding. Having artificial wedding flowers on your wedding will stop these seasonal restrictions that you have with fresh flowers as you can have any type of flower all year long.

Allergic to pollen or you suffer from hay fever? Artificial flowers are the way forward for you, as there is no pollen causing any allergic reactions. You wouldn’t want puffy running eyes on your wedding day!

One of the big bonuses of having artificial wedding flowers is that your flowers can be ordered and delivered within plenty of time before your big day. No stress, early deliveries. No need to worry if your florist is going to turn up on your wedding day or not, you will have them there ready!

Having a wedding abroad? Artificial wedding flowers are easily transportable as they can be packed to take with you. No need to worry about sorting a florist when you’re over there as you will already have them with you as you can pick your package right here! They are lightweight and will not get damaged. All artificial flowers have wires within the stems so that if they do move, all you have to do is tweak them and they will be as good as new!

You can make your bridal set as bespoke and individual as you like. Unlike fresh flowers, artificial flowers can have accessories put in them such as brooches, making the bridal set as Glam as you like! Go as crazy as you want whatever the colour, whether it be rainbow roses or pastel pinks it can be done! Bespoke forever lasting flowers are the new hype!

Venue

Any venue can be styled into vintage look with the right accessories. First you need to choose what type of vintage you are going for, vintage garden, romance vintage, vintage glam etc. Once you have decided on your vintage theme things will start to fall into place. An outside wedding venue would suit the vintage garden look as you can decorate with ‘just picked’ flowers for example to create that vintage garden style that you are looking for.

Your flowers

Your flowers will be the accessory that will create the look of the bridal party so you need to choose flowers that will show your vintage style. Loose bundles of pastel wild flowers, baby’s breath, heather and roses arrangements gives the look of a more romantic and timeless vintage look. Flowers with Brooch accessories will give the impression of a more vintage glam look. So it is important that you pick the right blooms to accent your weddings style.

The grooms’ men

To really show your vintage style throughout why not use an antique design for the grooms’ men Boutonnieres, such as a vintage brooch. This would give a really impressive vintage style.

Table decorations

The natural colour palette looks stunning with a vintage style wedding. Use ivory, beige and silver together with pastel colours such as light pinks and blues would really suit your vintage wedding decor. Floral table decorations are a perfect match for a vintage wedding. Wild flowers in pastel coloured bottles for example would look stunning as your centrepieces.

Invitations

Your invitations are an important part of your guests wedding experience. They give your guests an idea of the sort of style at which you are going for, so it is important that you give the right impression. Use your imagination when it comes to your invitations, ensuring that you keep to the vintage style that you are look for. Use a background pastel colour with ivory or silver lace details for example.
