Brooch Wedding Bouquet

I had a little break today from Card making
A very Special friend called in with a box full of goodies for me to make
her Beautiful Daughters Wedding Bouquet,
As I hadn't made a bouquet in a while it was a most enjoyable afternoon

Getting started,
sorting through all the lovely goodies

And here is the finished Bouquet

We made little organza roses from the bridesmaids material
and added some heirloom jewellery to the centres of the large roses
threaded some silver hearts onto organza to trail,
but we feel it needs a few more pieces of jewellery,
so she is off to raid her family's costume jewellery boxes for a few more pieces of  sparkle

Sorry pictures aren't great

I will share the bridesmaid and flowergirls bouquets
 when I have made them.

  4. Yvonne, would you consider setting up a side business making these? I know they are very popular and it could be a way to get through you ribbon stash!

  6. I'm thinking about it,as I enjoyed making this one so much, I left Floristry when I had Garreth after 25 years, having started part time at 11 years of age in shop Uncles shop, I learned the hard way,and specialised in Wedding work, head dresses being my favourite , as they were so intricate, I loved my Job, but don't miss the long hours and late nights,
    you never know. I might end up teaching floristry again.
    an run complete wedding packages.
