Needs Massive Amounts of Brooches *pic*

Karen & Rene, on April 19, 2011 at 10:37 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 25

I found my inspiration! I want a bouquet made of brooches just like in the picture. I CANNOT afford $600, I will ask my crafty aunt to help me out. Now I need massive amounts of brooches :/ I am looking on ebay, craigslist, everywhere! Suggestions appreciated , thank you!

    Try consignment shops, Goodwill's, and Salvation Army. Also yard sales! Best of luck!

    Antique shops & second-hand shops. But, by the time you buy enough, it may total $600. It will also be heavy!

    Go to forever21, claires, charlotte russe, etc and look at their statement necklaces. You can take them apart, and some will come with 4 or 5 little flowers. And a lot of these stores have a BOGO sale.

    Hayley-what a good suggestion...I am doing a brooch bouquet too. Luckily, I have an aunt that sells antiques and costume jewelry so she is gifting them to me but I still want to pick out a couple that I love.

    Karen-try rubylane.com it is hit or miss but if you can catch them at a good price it's worth it

    Luckily you have a little time until your wedding. Send family and friends out to garage sales and flea markets...costume jewelry is often sold for 50 cents or so!

    A lot of those brooches in the picture look mostly beaded as well. you can get some pearls and wire and make something very similar for a fraction of the cost Smiley smile

    Oh! You have to buy in bulk on this site but the prices are amazing! Plus if you don't have favors yet you could always give the extra crystal flowers as favors to all the ladies. Like having a piece of your bouquet Smiley smile

    Lol you are very welcome. I think that bouquet is GORGEOUS and it put me in the mood to find out how to help you make it Smiley smile Here is one last site with some of the prettiest crystal flower brooches I have seen yet. BUT you can't see the prices unless you set up an account with them. I didn't want to do that since I won't be going back there ever but look at the flowers and see whether it is worth signing up for you Smiley smile
