My finished Brooch Bouquet...FLASH

Not sure why the photos have come out. With some sideways and upside down :-/

I absolutely love this! I have wanted one of these from the moment we got engaged (over 2 years ago!)

You have inspired me to have a go - let the brooch collecting commence!

Just out of interest, how long did it take you?

It's gorgeous - very colourful. Plus I love the meaning behind it, that makes something so much more special

Thank you :-)

nice to have some feedback as keeping it a surprise for everyone else! Hard to know how long it took as been doing a bit every evening but wiring one brooch easily took 15-20 minutes and putting them together took a couple of hours and the handle the same so a long time I would say!

You've done a great job, it's gorgeous xx

Absolutely amazing! Well done you x

Lovely lovely lovely. And are they my ribbon loops I spy?

Gorgeous!!

Yes! Thank you for your help! Looks much better than the mass of wires :-)

Thanks everyone for your kind comments!

Really love the colours!! Well done you.

I dont usually like brooch bouquets BUT I love this and love the sentimental value of it. Well done you! x

Aha, I had to try and turn my neck at them, but it so worth it! It looks BEAUTIFUL!

Beautiful, love the history of it

That's just beautiful Kelly! I love the fact the brooches mean something to you.... it will make it so special on the day!

Oh well done! The handle looks lovely! I think when you do brooch bouquets people don't think about the handle until later on, but actually it's really important to get it right, as it will be seen! I love the lace finish! :-)

Love it!! Also love that it means so much to you!!

Looks fab. Well done.

Looks amazing!! I've been collecting brooches but a bit worried about the making part ? Just out of interest, how many brooches did you use for it?

So beautiful,i love it.

WOW! I'm not usually keen on brooch ones, but absolutely LOVE yours.

Thank you everyone, didn't expect such. Lovely response :-)

I used 30 brooches, didn't pay much for them, obviously I had a few from family and the rest I bought from boot sales. Was lovely actually as they came from lovely old ladies who always had a story to tell me about them! I love that's its full of stories and memories.

I love brooch and button bouquets; as you say it's the history behind them that makes the bouquet sentimental and a very special part of your wedding day. Amazing job ?
