Brooch Bouquet

paigethomason

any ladies out there made their own brooch bouquet? Where did you get all the brooches? And how did you put it together? If you have any sites or had someone make yours would you mind sharing?! Thanks.

I'm making one for my vegas wedding next summer. It's a little tedious but it's so worth it to me to have something different from flowers that I made and can keep/hand down in the future! Great website for tutorial google: fancy pants weddings how to make a brooch bouquet I got a few from family but majority for dirt cheap at antique and thrift stores. Love how it's coming together! Give yourself or whoever is doing it plenty of time... It takes a while to get the hang of making them into stemmed "flowers" Good luck!

I just finished mine. Most of my pieces I got from forever 21 and the clearance rack at jcpenney and most of the pieces are oversized rings. It turned out beautiful.

Thank you for sharing! how did you do the ribbon at the bottom?

i just took maybe 6 inches folded it in like  3 loops and took a corsage pin and pinned it into the foam ball i used to hold all the pieces of jewerly.  There is a youtube video i got the idea from.
