DIY Brooch Bouquet Tutorial - LOTS OF PICS!

[colm226]

Where did you find the huge brooch on top?  I'm looking for large sized brooches for my bouquet....

[Julietisurs]

The ones on top were my most expensive ones, I found at Sam Moon. I tried looking on their website for you but they weren't available.  www.sammoon.com

For the would suggest Ebay, your local China Towns, flee markets, Facebook Friends, Grandmas, & Craigslist.

@ Julietisurs , Thank you! I havent finished it completely I do plan on adding a little more although my fiancee doesn't want me too. lol

When I showed my grandma and I asked her for a brooch she loved the idea of it.

So thank you again! I wouldn't have never thought of it had I not come across this forum!

The brooches I got where from LM Trading, Hobby Lobby, and some family members.

Anytime Pjmendoza! - Just paying it foward

 

I hated the thought of carrying fake flowers. I thought it was just tacky but this gives it such a nice twist and saved me LOTS OF $$$ in the long run due to 2 at home receptions after Mexico.

 

I had my 2nd dress fitting last week and got photos with my veil & bouquet. I'm pretty happy with it all

Julietisrus,

Dress is  gorgeous! You look beautiful! I agree about the bouquet, and since i love bling thought it was perfect! Can't wait to see your wedding pics!

Brooch bouquets can be super expensive but there's no reason you can't make it yourself. I truly believe that given enough time and good instruction, anyone can make one.

 

I made a video How-To DIY tutorial that clearly illustrates how you can make your very own brooch bouquet. You'll see options for where and how to attach wire, using flowers for fillers, etc.

 

You can read through my tutorial here on The Knot or watch the video at www.DomesticatedMe.com.

 

Also, I'm going to be giving away $200 of brooches. I'm sure that will come very handy!
