Many Pearls, Brooch Bridal Bouquet for Vintage Themed Wedding

A darling customer contacted me awhile back about a bridal party package with a vintage theme. She was interested in my vintage brooch bouquets, and together we came up with a gorgeous and completely unique package.

This package is a 13 piece including a bridal bouquet, 2 bridesmaid bouquets, 6 boutineers, and 4 corsages. It is made on a base of hydrangeas, with handmade satin and lace peonies and satin roses. It has gold and silver brooches and a ton of pearls. My wonderful client loved the ideas of pearls and jewelry for all the parts of the package, and I loved incorporating the pearl jewelry into the corsages and boutineers. This vintage style bouquet package is charming and perfect for a vintage style wedding. I really enjoyed working one-on-on with this client, and I will definitely be making some matching wedding hair accessories and a bridal sash in this style because I love it so much!

Thank you Kristen for the inspiration; this bouquet set was a lot of fun to make. I wish you the best in your marriage and all future endeavors. Thank you for making me a part of your special day!
