 Thank you Bridal Guide, again! What a "BEAUTIFUL BLING BOUQUET" this would be on one of Sarasota Florida's Beaches for your SeaSide Bride Ceremony! Directions are even included on the link.....AWESOME!  Here are step-by-step instructions for making your own brooch bouquet: 1. Collect Your Materials: Foley hunted for vintage brooches, pins, and earrings at estate and garage sales, describing it as a scavenger hunt of sorts. Etsy.com is also a great resource for hunting down pieces. You'll also need floral tape, craft wire, and silk flowers of your choosing (Foley used hydrangeas). 2. Assemble the Bouquet: Kim's mom wired each brooch and covered the wire with floral tape. Form the silk flowers into your desired bouquet shape. Scatter the brooches throughout the silk flowers. 3. Add Finishing Touches: Cover the stems with vintage handkerchiefs, if you'd like. Kimberly used her grandmother's cameo on the handle, which is a great way to honor a loved one. Fun fact: A total of 48 brooches/pins/earrings were used to create her bouquet!  As if her bouquet wasn't amazing enough, Kimberly decided to reinforce the brooches theme by gifting one to each of the important ladies in her life at the rehearsal dinner. She presented them to moms, grandmothers, and aunts, asking them to "Wear these on our special day and know we think of them in a special way." ENJOY THINKING OUTSIDE THE "SAND BOX"!!!!!! |
