I found the COOLEST bouquets on Etsy. Several sellers are making (incredibly expensive) amazing bouquets using vintage flower pins and brooches.

These bouquets are great for several reasons.
These bouquets are great for several reasons.
1.) The flowers never die! Hooray! Many of them haven't even faded after 20 plus years in existence.
2.) Each flower has a story. Each pin graced the blouse of a mother, daughter, grandmother, sister...perhaps a cross dresser...and each of them have a story too. The mother who wore a daisy pin to her daughter's wedding. The grandmother who wore a bright sunflower pinned to her Sunday best each week....the cross dresser who used it to complete shis Marilyn Monroe get up? I love things that have a story to them, and I like the idea that my wedding bouquet has numerous stories, since I'll be carrying the dang thing all day. And here is where you, dear reader, come into the equation...
I've been finding these pins on Etsy and Ebay, but apparently they are quite the hot item right now, and I just can't afford to spend $12/flower (let alone $450 for the bouquet!). Plus I intend to have this be a very crafty DIY wedding, informing you of my progress and process along the way. So if you have one of these pins gathering dust in a jewelry box, or in a box destined for Good Will, bring them into the store and have a part in my bouquet! I'll give you 15% off your purchase for your effort, and I'll gush and excitedly tell you all about my plans. Ahem. I mean, my amazing fiance. (It's a good thing he loves me too!)
Not local? No problem! Send me your flowers, and I'll send you a little somethin' fun from the shop!
In other store news, there is a brand spanking sparkly new website in the works! This updated format will allow me to keep the site much more current, bringing you information as it happens! As part of this new website, I'll be making some changes to the blog, bringing you more tips and jewelry ideas in addition to regaling you with fun little facts about my life as a business owner!

In the US colors per se can be registered as a trade mark if they have acquired a secondary meaning and if they are non-functional.
