Choosing a Brooch Bouquet for your Wedding

Brooch Bouquets were originally created as a sentimental heirloom, created from Brooches, Chains, Pendants, Rings or any Jewels passed on from generations.  Brides included all their sentimental pieces into their bouquet and over the generations this can be added to by others. We have been asked by brides to include lots of differnt memorabilia into their bouquets, broken watches, communion medals, swimming medals, photos of loved ones, fabric from baby blankets or christening robes, what ever we are asked to include we endeavor to include it into the Bridal Bouquet

More often than not brides don't have enough pieces to create their bouquet so we create it with a mix or old and new.
When choosing new brooches it is important to take into account the style of the dress but also the bouquet and what heirloom pieces you will be including.
Chooses a selection of large and smaller pieces as this gives the bouquet more texture and easier to keep in shape.  Check out lots of different suppliers as prices can vary hugely.  When ordering colours online the colour you think you are ordering may not be the shade you do actually receive.
The colour the bride may wish to be included may not be easy to source so give yourself plenty of time.

Creating Brooch Bouquets for Wedding Parties is one of the most rewarding jobs and Brides are normally over the moon with their finished design.

If you are deciding to order your own brooch Bouquet for your wedding make sure to compare your bouquet Designer, different designers have different styles and some may include less brooches so make sure  when pricing your bouquet ask how many brooches are included in your bouquet.

The pricing structure would normally be €10 per brooch, so a bouquet containing 30 brooches should cost approx €300 but obviously brooch prices vary as do Brooch Bouquet Designers
