As I mentioned previously, my parents recently celebrated their 35th Wedding Anniversary and also renewed their vows in front of a group of 50 family and friends. My siblings and I surprised them with a professional photographer for the event. I also made a bouquet and boutonniere for them… BEFORE I took my mom shopping for her dress. Oops. Probably should have waited since she ended up with a white, sparkly number with silver strappy shoes. Yeah, this very fall and rustic looking bouquet wasn’t the best match:
Which kind of bummed me out because I really, REALLY loved how it turned out. Lesson learned to wait until the dress is picked out before creating the DIY bouquet!
I just winged this one but I like how it turned out. It’s literally just one flower, a couple of leaves and some babies breath all wrapped together.
And here you can see how this DIY Bouquet and boutonniere turned out in the professional photos from the day:

After seeing the photos I almost think the original bouquet would have been fine, but either way, they LOVED the photos and there were so many special memories made that day including my Memere playing the organ while my Grandfather sang, my younger brother playing the guitar while my sister sang, and witnessing my parents love for each other shine so brightly.
Found your blog through the networking blog hop :). This is so precious! I love how the bouquet turned out – both rustic and a little glammed up!
These are beautiful! Just stumbled them!
Take care,
Trish
