    I've been doing the odd bit here and there but i'd say if I had been at it all day, I'm guessing 3/4 days.

    I saw one on Etsy so googled Brooch Bouquet. I came across a How Too Make video on youtube, , , ,

    Lovely! It looks fab! I recognise one of the brooches as I tried to lever it into mine but it was just too big. Mine is roughly assembled into a plastic post holder. Let me know if you find an ingenious way of covering the holder. I can't get ribbon to look neat enough Smiley sad

    I used double sided tape on the edge of the ribbon and then wound it round and it seems to be holding well and is nice and smooth.

    Absolutely gorgeous! I opened this thread prepared to think " good on ya, but it's not for me" - boy, was I wrong! I love, love, love it and the idea of adding the watch permanently set to the time of your wedding really appeals to the sentimental and (newly discovered) romantic in me!

    Beautiful x

    Thank you ladies for all your lovely comments. You have put my mind at rest. I had originally had a silk bouquet made but it just wasn't right, I even bought extra flowers to add to it but it didn't feel right.

    So glad I had a go at this one, , ?

    You joke but i think it would be a great business venture!! I love flowers too much to have a brooch bouquet - but if i were to have one i'd want one made - -and yours is amazing. I really like it x
