Wedding Bouquets: Flowers, Brooches, Buttons, and More

Whether a timeless burst of traditional flowers or a clutch of brooches or buttons, we’ve got bouquets for every bride.

Some brides love the look of traditional blooms, with lush arrangements of roses, ranunculus, and orchids showing off their colors for all to see. Others are looking for a twist on the conventional and might search for a unique non-floral option that uses (non-wilting) buttons, beads, or brooches. Here, the best of both worlds.

garden variety

Erica Darling of Erica Darling Floral Design mixed her anemones with ranunculus, clematis, and scabiosa, then tied it all with a white satin ribbon; starts at $150, Erica Darling Floral Design, Hudson (917) 331-9114; darlingfloral.com.

paper doll

Livia Cetti, an event designer/stylist and style director of Brides, crafts these anemone bouquets out of colorful tissue paper. You can find her creations on her own website, thegreenvase.com, and at BHLDN’s site, bhldn.com ($32 for a single-flower pin at BHLDN, $325 for a full bouquet at The Green Vase).
