What a brilliant idea and all credit to my bride who spent a year collecting brooches to make her bouquets. Hours of work goes into collecting these wonderful visual feasts and it is so worth while.
There is a story behind every brooch, what memories it evokes and what it represents.You can create something as magical just have fun, be creative and put your own stamp on the design.
Source vintage fairs, car boots and ebay for old brooches, earrings, necklaces and bracelets
Try Etsy for supplies, they have a range of sellers, mainly US based but a growing number in the UK also and are the perfect source for all kinds of crafting items
Ask your family and friends if they have any old jewellery knocking about that you can use. This is a particularly nice way of going about it as when the day rolls around and they see you walking down the aisle they will feel proud of the fact they have helped you create something so beautiful and special.
Don’t just stick to brooches and other jewellery, you can use ribbon, feathers and even a few fresh flowers to accompany your glistening jewels.
When the day is over, these beauties can be cherished forever as a keepsake or dismantled and shared out amongst close friends – this way they always have a little piece of your wedding day as a reminder of how fab it was.
I now am the proud owner of a beautiful green brooch which will always remind me of the pleasure I had working for this family.
