Happy Friday! Would you like a FAB Find or two to start off your weekend? Well, you’ve come to the right place then. You may remember Fridays FAB Finds {016} featured a beautiful, eco-friendly boutonniere and hair piece designed by an Etsy artist who specializes in vintage enamel beads…

This week we’ve taken that idea a step further and found some fabulous, incredibly unique, eco-chic bouquets for you!
Ideas We Love – Brooch Bouquets
Okay, so how about this for your something old? I recently saw one these gorgeous bouquets featured on Daily Candy. The supremely talented Amanda Herr of Fantasy Floral Designs puts together these incredible vintage brooch bouquets for brides. Not only are they absolutely gorgeous, but how lovely that these little babies will never wilt. Each bouquet contains hand-picked baubles so no two are ever alike – what a beautiful memento from your I Do’s especially considering you can include your own family heirloom pieces in your bouquet.
Gorgeous! I don’t think I could pick a favorite as I love them all (see even more examples on Amanda’s website – watch out if you’re at work though, music immediately starts), but do you have a favorite??

Ideas We Love – Balsa Wood Bouquets
Are the brooch bouquets a little too much “bling” for you? Well, we’ve been hearing and seeing a lot of beautiful things that involve balsa wood lately. Would you ever think to make a wedding bouquet out of it? I wouldn’t, but I’m glad someone did! The Super talented Krislyn designed this wood and coral bouquet for a wedding that was featured last Fall on another one of our favorite wedding blogs 100 Layer Cake.

So what do you think? Would you consider a jewelry or wood bridal bouquet when they can look this stunning?
