LOVE/HATE: The Bride On a Wire Edition
By Never teh BrideThe creatrix behind Refinerii uses salvaged metals and found industrial objects as the raw materials with which she crafts unique works of art like this wire bridal bouquet.
She can even create a custom bouquet made with your choice of colors using salvaged aluminum wire, Swarovski crystals, freshwater or crystal pearls, glass beads, and other bits of sparkle. Intriguing, no? While we’ve delved deeply into alternative bridal bouquets and wedding flowers here at the blog in the past, this is the first time I’ve come across a bridal bouquet that is so… industrial. I think I like it. In fact, I’d go so far as to say I love it!
What say you?

Tossing it would seem dangerous.

hahah Roya has a good point. I still love it! In fact I would probably get a few wildflowers and twist them in (I’m fascinated with old factories that are gradually being taken back over by nature, so I love that combination).

Gorgeous!

I think it’s great, but the shape of a bouquet was dictated by the stems of the flowers, so why limit yourself to a traditional shape? Why not any piece of sculpture that is carryable?

I don’t know if I’d carry it as a bouquet, but I’d love it in a funky vase in my living room.

That is probably the most beautiful bouquet I’ve ever seen.

love it! I had my fiancé make me a ring out of scrap wire and an old LED while we wait for the custom engagement ring to come in, and this has a very similar vibe. He’s not sure how he feels about this idea, but if he comes around, I will have him DIY me a beautiful space-bouquet!

Does anyone still carry a prayer book in lieu of flowers? That was always my favorite look.

Awesome!

Awesome! I’m a sculptor; why didn’t I think of this?
