Boutonnieres

My wedding colors were blue and brown, and so for the boutonnieres, we based them around peacock feathers. I made them myself.

I took a peacock feather top, a small silk flower, a little bit of silk greenery, a loop of blue ribbon and some silver wire. I put the items together, making sure that they whole assembly wasn't more than a few inches tall, used a small piece of tape to secure them together, then wrapped the stems very tightly with the wire.

Each stem of feathers was 5 dollars, and there were 3 feathers per stem. The wire was a couple of dollars for the entire spool, and I still have some left over. The blue ribbon was used on all of the boutonnieres, plus the flowergirl basket and my bouquet and was about $6 for the spool. The flowers were small snippets of those used for the bouquets.

An approximate Out of Pocket for Boutonnieres (each): $2.50
Time Spent: Approximately 2 hours for all 5
