DIY Wedding Bouquets

March 6, 2018 By Jamie Dorobek 13 Comments

Andy and I got married in our living room in Florida with 4 guests and I had no wedding bouquet. But, if I did do the big wedding thing I would totally have crafted up a unique, wedding bouquet! It’s so fun to see all of the creativity… who would have thought you could make a bouquet out of crochet, yarn balls, door knobs, brooches, t-shirts, air plants, or cotton! I also love the idea of a super simple DIY wedding bouquet like a single giant balloon, extra large tissue paper flower or even a paper pin wheel. Here are 28 wedding bouquet ideas you’re gonna love…

1. Crochet flowers

It doesn’t get more handmade and colorful than this crochet flower wedding bouquet. For a tutorial about how to make the bouquet check out Maize Hutton.

    So gorgeous and such a great idea to do something totally unique and different! Really loving the bouquets that are made out of diecut flowers (or origami). So pretty and such a great way to save costs on the bouquet by using your own cutting machine to cut them out 🙂

    #15 is my favorite so far. it’s stylish and simple at the same time. no wonder it sells so good on etsy. In our fanclub we have Cristy that does flowers just like that

    btw, really nice ads on images – is it plugin or something?
