We received a lot of comments on the pinecone petal boutineers that I created for the groom, groomsmen, mothers, and grandparents at our wedding. I thought I'd show you all some detailed shots of them today - as they are one of the parts of our wedding that I am most pleased with the result.
These were thought up one night as I worked like a busy bee on wedding crafts. I wanted to tie our neutral colors in, give the guys something that wasn't too frilly, and create something unique and special.

The result was the Pinecone Boutineer!
Here, you can see the handsome groom and groomsmen sporting the boutineers. I liked how this project turned out because they are still cute, rustic, and went with our lodge decor - but most definitely manly. Do guys really enjoy wearing delicate flowers that might break, or have to worry about a pin that usually comes out at some point during the wedding?
Mothers and Grandparents received a different boutineer. The photo below shows my mom and mother-in-law wearing it - it is made from much smaller pinecones and has a pearl center.
**Pinecone Boutineers are made to sell here on my Etsy shop - I would love to make them for your wedding!**
What a neat idea! Pinned :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie!
DeleteI can't believe you handmade those! They turned out very pretty! And yeah, I don't think most guys really enjoy wearing flowers...
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel!

Thanks Nici!
DeleteThe pine cone boutineers are such a great idea. Then you don't have to worry about them wilting through-out the day and looking droopy in pictures.
ReplyDeleteExactly! We still have them either around the house as decorations, and some people took them as souvenirs. Thanks so much for stopping by!
DeleteThose are really cool. Great idea!
