Hey there!~ Today I am sharing a
vintage wedding brooch diy bouquet.
The vintage wedding brooch/pin was made my my Mom.
As I have stated, it all started with Pinterest. My Mom and sister created boards and ideas for over a year.
My Mom even had charms made of our Grandparents. So sweet and so very special.
It was a beautiful conversation piece, and a very special keepsake for a lifetime.
So here’s the skinny on the details and supplies
30-40 brooches, old new,vintage buttons too if you so wish.
18” 20-gauge green and silver wire
Floral tape
Scissors
Needle-nosed pliers
Wire cutters
Glue gun
Ribbon and lace for handle
Pins
My Mom watched a you tube video, which I have found one for you. You can of course improvise and make whatever is easier for you.
If you are not a regular, I sure would LOVE to see you back again. Thanks for stopping by today.

That is such a gorgeous, gorgeous piece. Who knows-maybe one day a daughter will carry it down the aisle, too. xo Diana
That is such a fabulous way to have a very special bouquet and saves lots of money, too.
