They're really easy to make really. The hardest part is arranging them into the shape you want!

Its something I wanted to do, make my own bouquet, but I gave up after failing to buy the brooch's lol. There are a few ladies on here that have made brooch/broach bouquets, if you search the threads you should be able to find something. I know Sian and RaggedyAnne both made theirs x
Yeah, Raggedy Annes is gorgeous but if you go onto the tube of you, they have lots of tutorials for a variety of crafty things. I'm sure you'll find something on there to help give you inspiration xx

Hi would anyone know if the brooch one is easier to make than the crystal ones?xx sorry im not very good on this laptop lol!!
CommentAuthorCeri AnnR
does anyone know if the brooches i use can be spares and repair? just seen some.
CommentAuthorSian''OCD''Holkham
Hiya I made my own it was the most fiddly, frustrating, annoying thing ever to make BUT it was so worth all the hard work I put into none of the guests believed I made it lol and they all thought it was stunning and it now has pride of place on a shelf in my glass front cabinet x x x
I am loving all of the ideas people give on here, ways to make things yourself to lower cost and make things unique. I love that things at my wedding will be mine and only mine!

sian that is fab!! can i use bropken brooches do u know hun?xx
CommentAuthorShirleygirly
Your bouquet was gorgeous Sian, I've got all my brooches, rings etc together and next week I'm going to start the wiring process. I figure I've got 10 months to play with it so no need to get stressed about it. I got the majority of my bits from my holiday in Portugal. There were loads of big flamboyant rings all for around €5 each, then went around the charity shops when I got home. The worst thing I did was buy some brooches of a website in America, they are hopefully coming tomorrow and they were dead cheap but I had a letter from parcel force telling me that I had to pay customs and a clearance fee for around £30 or they'd send the parcel back.
I can't wait to get it made and it will mean more to me than flowers, each female member of my family has contributed one piece.
I can't wait until 29/06/2013
The day I marry the man of my dreams!

finding it hard to find a page that shows you step by step xx
CommentAuthorSian''OCD''Holkham
you basically need brooches doesn't matter if the back is broke I snapped most of the backs off and I used crystals and pearls from bracelets and earrings, a glue gun, floral wire (thick and thin) and tape and my handle was from the tin foil lol goggle diy brooch bouquets x
I posted a tutorial on your wall. It's got some good pictures that should be really helpful

I was going to have a crystal bouquet, but they were very expensive and looked a bit too fiddly to make so I made a brooch bouquet instead, but I really do love the crystal ones
this is the kind I was going to have,

@RaggedyAnne That's a very elegant brooch bouquet. It would take a lot of passion and heart to making one.
