oooh!

I stumbled across these treasures today while visiting a blog I enjoy (Debutante Clothing) and instantly fell in love. Bouquets created entirely out of vintage brooches!!

I think these are such a fabulous idea! I am tempted to start shopping for brooches just so I can get enough together for when I meet the man of my dreams and we decide to tie the knot! I bet it would end up being quite a heavy bouquet, but unique factor outweights the practicality factor for me. And it will last forever too, or until you decide to dismantle it to wear the jewels.

  1. I really am going to start collecting brooches with this as an end project in mind :)

  2. Perhaps this is something we should be adding to the wedding binder? I think it is a fabulous idea and will keep an eye out for anything I can find in NZ. As I'll be back in Napier I'll look around there too.
