Inspiration #36: Guitar Pick Boutonierre

I've been meaning to make boutonierres for my fiance and his groomsmen. He's a musician and so are his buddies, so it's only natural that I create guitar pick boutonierres. Where a rosebud would normally go, I'm hot-gluing a guitar ornament! My inspiration comes from Fritts Rosenow (of San Francisco) pictured above.

I found this set of 4 guitar ornaments on Amazon.com for only $4.69 + shipping. Not too shabby. And since my fiance is a guitar teacher, he's got lots of picks laying around the house. I just need to head to the local floral supply shop and pick up floral wire and tape. A spool of bargain ribbon at Target runs $1.00. Wouldn't you agree that boutonierres for about $2 a piece is pretty sweet?

Inspiration #9: Untraditional Boutonnieres

Another cool thing I spotted at the Ruby Press Bridal Soiree were Rosenow Floral's untraditional boutonnieres using found objects. They were fun and reflected the groom's personality/hobby. I'm posting some inspiration, and I hope to figure out how to do it myself in a bit. Will keep you posted! This is perfect booty to search for at the next Alameda Flea Market on June 7!
