my first attempts at making a flower/brooch bouquet still waiting on a few bits and i have over a year to perfect them so going to keep taking them apart and putting them back together to i get it just right x
My bouquet was going to be plain as I thought it looked quite elegant. However h2b bought me the pearl brooch as a little momento as our wedding theme is gold and pearls. I know he wasn't expecting me to put it on my bouquet but I love it, as it adds just a little bit of sparkle. I then bought some very sparkly diamante earring from primarni 4 pairs for £2 and wondered what they would look like on my bouquet. You can't see it from the photograph but my bouquet sparkles all over now. Love it. xx

loving the cupcake garland LMB, soooo cute!
also loving the bouquets ladies, all very unique which is what i love about these non flower bouquets! they all have something in common but are all different, not one is the same as another
CommentAuthorLittleMissBossy
Thank you.
I think there's a great diversity in styles on here. All very creative and so many different takes on it!

CommentAuthormunchkinpie
Stevie and Krissy - those are fab!
Kaya&James - I ADORE your flowers - so wish id come across this idea earlier.
Sian - how are you getting on with the embellishments etc? I think the wire collar has given it a nice frame for you - cant wait to see it finished.
LMB - I really think you should have a Crafty thread of your own

Oh my goodness! These bouquets are *gorgeous*! I am so inspired! I think I want a brooch/flower bouquet now, but I have no idea where to start! xxx
CommentAuthorkrissy905
love it will the wire collar is an might have to get one if i cant get mine how i want it fingers crossed i have another delivery today so can do a it more x
thanks munchkinpie its getting there i have 18 months to perfect them.
i got most of mine for the bay kimi let me know if you want the link she has loads of different colours and sells all sort of flower related items plus free post to x
while I'm posting any ideas how to make my flower wands a bit longer as the stems are a bit short i was thinking putting it all together and rolling the stems up with a bit of cardboard from a kitchen roll holder and covering it in florist tape before i ribbon it do you think it would work x or should i make 2 smaller versions of the bridesmaids bouquets for my younger daughters they will be 7 and 8 by the wedding x
CommentAuthorkirstymc
I am loving everyone's bits and bobs!!! I'm not the arty one in our family but after seeing all the ideas here I think I'll have a shot myself! xx

wow sian you're cookin on gas girl! its gonna be amazing
I can resist anything but temptation
CommentAuthorSian''OCD''Holkham
hahaha RaggedyAnne thank lol will keep you update wire collare has worked wonders x
it looks like it keeps the brooches and flowers evenly spaced. if i had seen one of those when i was making mine i would have had one, but i aint pulling mine apart now......though i am tempted to because some of mine sit underneath each other and get hidden.

You could seriously make a fortune! I adore these and love the little Bambi charm xx you must have such patience!
CommentAuthorLittleMissBossy
Thank you. I have patience to a certain extent. Not too long, I need to finish projects fairly fast otherwise I lose the drive to ever finish them :-) Some of the things work up really fast - and I enjoy doing it.
With this one I like it how it ties in with all the small details (incl the green polkadots) with h2bs buttonhole. But I am not 100% happy about how I wrapped the fabric - but I did lose patience and couldn't be bothered to sew it prettier :-)
It is huge though - I hope they don't mind wearing it :-) The heart is the same size as the smallest buttonhole

Instead of swag having this on top table what do you think x
Flower pic's are in my album. i just need to make more. Let me know what u think please :) x
CommentAuthornatalie2614
You can make those lace hearts with a magic tub of pva glue and a heart shaped cookie cutter,videos are on the net, google them. Looks easy enough just a bit time consuming. Im going for home made bunting instead of this now but I did originally think about using this lace heart idea, funnily enough in navy blue and white!

Krissy that is absolutely fab. Do you mind me asking how much you think it cost to put together? I would love to have a got at making my own bouquet, but Im not very crafty and Im worried it would look terrible.
