Paper, silk, brooches, and dried flowers: alternative wedding bouquets that will last forever

We’ve been featuring non-floral bouquets made of paper flowers, silk flowers, brooches, dried flowers, leather flowers, buttons, and more for YEARS. And with good reason: they last forever, can be much cheaper than real flower bouquets, and can be passed along to others. Win-win.
