    Ok, I love love love my bouquet. I have been collecting brooches for the past months, in preparation for this bouquet.  Plus, Suegrasita let me borrow brooches passed down from Papasito's grandmothers and great grandmothers.

    Thank you so much. Our wedding colors are red, black, yellow, and white.  However, I decided to venture off from the colors for the bouquet, since it was created from passed down pieces. I didn't have the heart to leave any of them out :-)

    Very Original! and it's awesome that you are actually using brooches that were passed down from great-grandmother and grandmother. It adds an even greater meaning to it- Bello :D

    I believe I ended up using 32 brooches.  The brooches were attached to silver metal turkey skewers using apoxy.  There were a few brooches that I did not want permanently glued, so I those were attached to ribbon, and the ribbon was glued to the skewer.  The skewers were pushed into a stryofoam cone, and then wrapped in black ribbon.  I had a friend make it for me, and she did a beautiful job.

    This is amazing! I am in the middle of making mine. Can you put up a side view? I am still trying to figure out how to put it together. Thanks!
