These bouquets can be directly purchased or I can create a custom bouquet to fit your color, style, theme, size and budget. I can even incorporate heirloom brooches or other pins from your family.
Each Brooch Bouquet is constructed as to not damage the brooch's pin. I use aluminum wire as the stems, so each flower can be moved within the arrangement as desired. That way, even if you drop the bouquet, you can easily move each brooch back into position. I then twist each "stem" to form a handle and securely tape them together and wrap them with ribbon and attach an accent brooch to the base. I secure the ribbons with either pearl-headed or crystal-headed pins for an elegant finish. Bouquets range from 8" to 12" wide, 10" to 12" long and weigh between 1 to 2.3 pounds.
Here is how the process works for a custom designed bouquet...
1) Convo me and tell me your colors, style, theme, budget, wedding date and any other helpful information
2) I put together a sample collection of brooches that fits your criteria and send you photos
3) You tell me what changes to make. More of one color, less of another, etc.
4) I revised the collection and send more photos. We repeat this process until it's perfect!
5) You then (not before) send me a 50% deposit, and I make your bouquet and send you one more photo for your final approval - your last chance to make changes
6) You send me the remaining 50% balance plus shipping.
7) I finish the bouquet with your selection of ribbon color and other finishing details, send you the final photo and ship it off to you.
• Sizes and Prices (for most bouquets):
Small 5-6 inches across $300-350
Medium 6-8 inches across $350-500
Large 8-10 inches across $500-700
• What determines the price of a bouquet
Bouquet prices will vary on the specific brooches used. For example signed designer brooches are very valuable and will increase the overall cost of a bouquet. Other brooches are far less expensive and can keep the overall cost much lower.
• Bouquets made from your brooches
$50 base fee + $2 per brooch + shipping
I can also make a custom bouquet out of your family heirloom brooches and earrings or a combination of yours and my brooches.
Other ideas for custom pieces:
• Bridesmaids bouquet $175-275
usually 5-6 inches across, less valuable brooches
and not as tightly packed
• Brooch embellished Silk Clutch Purses $100-250
Great for bridesmaids, mothers and grandmothers
and can also be made with matching earrings
I work with another Etsy designer who makes amazing
silk clutch purses to order, then I add brooches
• Brooch rings and necklaces
• Brooch Cake Toppers
• Micro Brooch Bouquet for Flower Girls $175-275
usually 4-6 inches across made with all earrings
• Boutonnieres for the guys $10-$30 each
I just select coordinating brooches that already look
like a boutonniere so they will NOT look like they're
wearing grandma's brooch
• Anything else you can think of - always open to ideas!
