Brooch Bouquet: Part 1



Some of the pretties!

Pearly clusters!

I love love. And happiness. I also love centerpieces, floral arrangements, chandeliers, and wedding dresses. Oh, and cake!  Whether it's a beautiful wedding cake, a birthday cake or small bites of heaven in the form of a cupcake, I love it! Throw in a little fun, some DIY, a touch of glitter, and Pinterest, and it's really no surprise that I find myself helping several brides with their weddings.






Green gorgeous!

One of the things I'm super excited to start working on is a vintage brooch bouquet! I just adore these glittery, vintage, shabby chic bouquets. In addition to creating the bouquet for the lovely bride, I am creating a boutonniere for the groom and a smaller bouquet for one of her attendants. Yikes! No pressure.

I have read through several tutorials on creating the brooch bouquets, and of course they all seem so easy! But honestly, I have my doubts. There is something daunting and rather sweat inducing about wire wrapping 50-85 brooches, earrings, and pendants in a pattern to somehow, almost magically, create a floral bouquet that is not only beautiful, but elegant and tasteful.



Golden gems!

So follow me as I begin this journey of creating the brooch bouquets and boutonniere. You will see the joys, the heartaches, the happiness, and the frustration. And of course, pictures of it all!
