Before today I'd never heard of them, why has nobody told me about them?!! In looking for images online for broochiness I found 705,000 images of Brooch Bouquets!! That's a lot of people (other than me) who knew all about the business of bouquet making from nanna's brooches. Apparently brides today who are looking for a bit of quirky individuality are choosing these bouquets over fresh flowers.
What a fabulous idea. How stunning are these? You want to look up close at a couple of them?
Found these images on Reverie, Wedding Talk, Alice Hu and Brooch Bouquets. What sensational eye-candy. Makes me want to get married all over again!!
Or at least have my very own bouquet of vintage brooches. Uh-oh I feel another collection coming on. So tell me, had you heard of brooch bouquets?!
Bye for now.

I had but only recently (last year, actually might have been year before) via this blog http://thehouseofwhimsy.blogspot.com/2010/07/want-to-see-something-super-fun.html I then started hunting out brooches so I could have a go at making one, but I couldn't find many of the bright coloured ones - I still keep an eye out now though, just in case! I love them lots and think it would be nice to have one!!
