Garden Wedding: DIY Bridal Bouquet (Recipe)

This past weekened I had the opportunity to attend the Michigan Floral Association (MFA) Contest. I competed in the college student/novice cathegory. The criteria this year was to make a bridal bouquet for a garden wedding under $50 (excluding any Oasis products- that is, bouquet holder, wire, etc...)

Here is the bouquet I made (there's lots of pictures!!!)

 

In the process of making it..

And here is the boutonniere. My theme was the bling (brooches), so I incorporated that into the boutonniere as well.

 

These pictures were taken once I got home from Grand Rapids, Michigan on Sunday, four days after I made the bouquet, so the roses are kind of dead.

  I also incorporated succulents and blooming branches..

The Succulents

Here is the recipe for it:

Three Echiveria (Succulents)

7 Free Spirited Standard Rose 

9 Stems of Pink Ranunculus

1/4 bunch blooming branches

7 stems Hypericum Berries

1/3 bunch Purple Statice

1/8 bunch Seeded Eucalyptus

Booxwood (filler)

And I used 6 brooches in the bouquet and a cameo lock on the handle

If you want to know how I atteached the brooches or the succulents, leave a comment below and I'll make a little tutorial!

There were a lot of cool floral arrengements at the competition, but I don't know if I can post pictures of other people's designs
