Retro and Vintage Weddings

Completed Brooch Bouquet & Giving Away Extra Brooches

  I finished my brooch bouquet this weekend and I'm so existed to show it to you all! I used about 25 or so brooches (most of them from FabulousBrooch.com), and three hydrangea flowers purchased at a crafts store. I also added some pearls (also purchased at a craft store) that are used for jewelry to fill in some of the gaps. I just threaded some floral wire through it then twisted the ends to create stems.  For the stems, I wrapped them in white satin then criss-crossed a sheer white ribbon (starting from the bottom up). I added pearl pins as accents which matches my entire retro/vintage wedding style and decor (as you may be able to tell from the brooches themselves). I'm super happy with it. What do you think?
   I may have to do the bottom over because the stems are a bit too long. And since I have another month and a half to sit and stare at it, it'll probably get to me. If I do, I'll post a detailed tutorial or video tutorial to help others achieve this look.  You can see my brooch bouquet video tutorial on my personal blog.  I'm also giving away the brooches I didn't use for my brooch bouquet. If you're interested, message me or go to the blog for details.
