My Fabric Flower Wedding Bouquet – Portland, OR

When my fiancé (now husband) and I were planning our wedding, the one detail I knew I wanted was to make my bouquet out of fabric flowers. I’d seen fabric bouquets online and just fallen in love with them. I knew I wanted a mix of flower types and a mix of cream and white colored fabrics. The process began months before our wedding day; we made countless trips to the fabric store looking at remnants, and I spent many nights and weekends cooped up with a hot glue gun watching shows on Netflix (and a couple group sessions with all of the wonderful ladies in my life making massive quantities of flowers). Although making the fabric bouquets might be a cheaper way to go when you think about the actual dollars spent – it can definitely be time intensive – so my recommendation to anyone considering it would be to plan ahead and start really early! In the end, I was so happy with the way they turned out – below are a couple pictures that I snapped on our wedding day of my own bouquet and of one of my bridesmaids holding hers (yep, I brought my camera to my own wedding – but it only came out for about ten minutes).
