Brooch Bouquet, and other DIY crap. (Super PIP!)

CAB1217

Hello ladies! I truly miss you all. I resent this wedding because it keeps me from you. Ha ha, only kind of kidding Sami, I am totally into it now... I promise! It took 20 days before the wedding for me to get into it, but dammit, I am.

Disclaimer- I am totally KUI right now. I blame the ladies that recommended Cupcake Red Velvet wine.

Well, my sister and I have finished the brooch bouquet tonight! And here is the proof:



Shay and Winnie, see the boot? That's my dedication to my wedding twins I knowwww, corny.



Other side of the bouquet



Ha haaaaa! DUCT TAPE FTW!!!



The cameo that I made! It's our wedding logo.



The stem, with our last initial



and the final product. This picture does it NO justice!!!

I just have to say that my sister is amazing. She helped put this together for me, and I have to say, she did about 70% of this. She was totally the brains behind putting the brooches I bought together so beautifully. I am very lucky!


Anyway, we also did my birdcage:


Again, sister's brain child. I did the little signs, and she did the rest. I am a very happy tipsy girl right now.

Those are so beautiful!  I am so impressed with your DYI skills.  Oh and under three weeks incase you needed reminding. HA

Oh my goodness, that is GORGEOUS!  I'm gonna be honest and say I haven't liked most brooch bouquets I've seen, but this one is so pretty and looks finished, ya know?  Just beautiful!  I love the initial on the stems, too.  I can't wait to see pro pics with you all done up!

Yeah, my sister is a mega perfectionist, and had the same thoughts about most brooch bouquets as you do, which is why she insisted on doing it to her liking. I'm not complaining! LOL.
Thanks everyone!!!

That is gorgeous!!!  I consider myself pretty crafty but I don't think I could do anything even remotely as beautiful as that!  Great job
