posted by elemikaylaphant 11 months agoHOW MUCH WAS THE TOTAL COST TO MAKE THE BOUQUET?
posted by Miss Otter 11 months agoits beautiful, i too have put a collar of white flowers around my brooch bouquet to neaten the edges, but i didnt use as many, but looking at how nice yours looks with more, i think i might now add some more.....are yours real or silk flowers?
in fact , looking at yours , mine is very similar in colour etc......
posted by anne B 11 months agoThank you everyone! I can't wait to get my professional pictures back and post them!
@Miss Otter...I probably spent about $100. However, I know they can be expensive to make if you purchase all of your brooches! I was, luckily, given a lot of my brooches by my family and my groom's family. When you're looking, search "lots of brooches" on eBay and check out fabulousbrooch.com...that where I got some of mine :)
@anne B...LOVE YOUR BOUQUET! I have real flowers around my bouquet (I dropped it off at the florist about a week beforehand and they delivered it the day of with the flowers on it with the hand tied ribbon...) love the look of the metal and flowers!
posted by ceceliamartinez 10 months agoI am in love with this bouquet!
It is so perfect and at first I was against putting flowers in mine, but after looking at yours I may consider it! I wish you made a video! I am so bad at digesting written directions.
posted by MrsCypresstobe 10 months agoWow! This turned out amazing! I have seen a few of these on here and while I love the concept I thought the execution in most did not come out good. You did an awesome job of making the thing cohesive and as a result it looks beautiful instead of just being a jumbled mess.
