When My future DIL was here for Christmas she told me about the latest trend in bridal bouquets for vintage themed weddings, I just had to try making one
Before I get started I want to thank you for your feed back on my New Years post, "The meanest comment I received in 2011". Your comments were hilarious!
So, the future DIL is planning a vintage themed wedding. She reads my blog (Bonus points) and saw the fabric flowers I make being used in bridal bouquets
So we set off to get the supplies....an assortment of fabrics in her colors
So we set off to get the supplies....an assortment of fabrics in her colors
We picked light weight polyester lining fabrics, laces, and tulle. Then we went through my bling box and picked out an assortment of vintage pins.
I used a plastic flower holder from the craft store. You could use a wooden dowel, but since I did not have one on hand I used part of a vintage hanger
I cut, hot glued, and pushed it through the holder
Then covered the handle with ribbon
I used a half styrofoam ball
And pinned fabric around it
Then removed the lace the holder came with and replaced it with antique tulle and hot glued the half ball on the holder
Time for some fun! I made up 9 fabric flowers the tutorial is HERE
And pinned them on to get the placement right before hot glueing them in place
I filled in with antique and vintage laces and tulle then added 13 vintage rhinestone and pearl pins
We have no idea if the bouquet will work with her dress
But she might be able to use it somewhere in the wedding decor
The reception venue has a fireplace mantle where the DIL wants to display family wedding pictures
My Dad was 17 and Mom was 21 (Cougar) when they got married
Maybe this new trend will replace tussie mussies in our romantic decor
It would even be pretty next to my dress form in a milk glass vase
Since the wedding is in November my dress form will watch over this lovely bouquet until we decide its fate
This project took many hours to complete, but who's counting when you're having fun!
Happy Creating!

Carol,
This is positively stunning! Your future DIL is a very fortunate gal to have you in her life.
so beautiful Carol ... and something that could be treasured for a very long time.
I've seen some made out of vintage jewelry, pieces from the brides family or just collected pins, earrings etc. Haven't attempted it yet...I think I like yours better.
This takes my breath away, it's so beautiful! You are one talented lady.
Oh I hope she uses it...it is beautiful. You did a lovely job on it!
so prettttttty, and I love the picture of your mom and dad! are you beside yourself getting ready for this wedding??
love this you did a great job {as always} it would be wonderful if she used it....

Oh I LOVE LOVE LOVE It!!! It is GORGEOUS!! and so very Timeless.. The colors you used are SO pretty and soft...I also LOVED how you used a Vintage Hanger it fits so perfectly with it.. So much better than a Dowel rod... I am sure little miss Dress form will keep a watchful eye over it.. :) Oh I almost forgot to wish you a VERY Happy New Year!!!!
BEYOND WOW! Another great tutorial...Thanks for ...yet again...not making me use my brain
The glitch that wouldn't let me post here seems to have been corrected simply by using the post "anonymous" for a couple of times. It has worked fo the other sites that I couldn't post on, too. FYI YEA I'm free again...
Stunning. You have such wonderful ideas! Happy New Year!

this is just SO lovely, carol! (love the cougar comment:)
That bouquet is gorgeous! My niece is getting married in October & I told her all about these brooch bouquets and offered to make one for her. I couldn't get her to bite though, she's just not into the vintage thing.
Oh Carol! This is superb! The bouquet isnt beautiful, its Godly!!! I could get married every week if I had a dress and stunning bouquet like that! SO going to try to monkey you! Then again, I tried the flowers, but I guess I have the wrong material, because they seem to burn rather than just curl! Yours are just...wow
Have a Happy New Year! :)
Hugs,
thats beautiful, wish I was getting married,, I would love this,
Oh my goodness, LOVE it. Elegant and stunning...
Carol,
you have really outdone yourself on this one. It's absolutely stunning and your DIL is one lucky gal to be getting you as her MIL!!!
I love the colors and the vintage jewelry. It's lovely.

That is just gorgeous, Carol. It looks like it was fun to put together,too.

That is so pretty and unique. Really, the whole thing just transports you to another time. I am a new follower visiting from Sugar Bee Crafts. Vicky from Mess For Less
Just wonderful flowers, now have to go to buy fabric, thanks to carol :)
I see a number of comments have already said the words I want to use...stunning, gorgeous, beautiful. I've been thinking of trying this since I looked at your tutorial... now I really really want to try it, no doubt it will take me a number of tries before I get anything that looks like yours. Thank you so much for sharing.
Your bridal bouquet is STUNNING!!! I'm absolutely in full *swoon* mode here. What a wonderful, loving creation for your soon to be dil.
Laughing at the cougar comment...
I love this. I hope one of my girls wants a vintage wedding. That would be right up my alley. I think the fabric hanger instead of the dowl is just plain perfect.
And my favorite shot is the one with the dress form and the bouquet in the vase.
This vicarious wedding planning is going to be fun for me. It sounds like your future DIL is a gal after your own heart!
This is so gorgeous Carol. My Mom made my sissie one out of broaches and it took her 12 hours..it is gorgeous too. Thanks for sharing.
love it! Great job! This is exactly what I've been seeing all over the wedding blogs. You nailed it again.
I would have loved to have a bouquet like that when I got married! Happy New Year!

Help! Did you cover the plastic collar with anything? I've finished mine but I feel like I should cover the plastic part. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Steph, you left me know way to respond to you, you do not have a blog, so I hope you will come back for your answer. No, I did not cover the plastic, it is really not noticed at all in the wedding or pictures. Sorry, I have no fix for you

Hi I'm wondering what kind of fabrics to use and how in advance can unmask these I don't want them to get dusty
Hi Carol its me Savanah! The girl that bought your last bouquets! Which I adore :) I just started a blog myself surfaceofsavanah.blogspot.com! Come and follow my page Ill be posting lots of wedding pictures soon :)
Hi, first of all I have to say your bouquet is amazing! And how lovely your dil used it, must be a very proud moment :)
I'm planning on making one myself for my own wedding next year and have a couple of questions..
Roughly how much material will I need
How did you add the material in between the flowers (could it work with just flowers?)
And did you glue the pins down?
Tia and thank you for the tutorial, definitely the best I've found.

Hi, Emily again.. Just a quick update, I have finally finished my bouquet and am using it at our wedding in October :)
I'm so pleased with it, and enjoyed making it with my family; creating memories too!
Your tutorial helped so much. Wish I could upload a picture, I will if I figure out how :) x
oh my goodness, love your bouquet!! It compliments the wedding dress fabric of your beautiful bridal gown. I'm gonna try this.
These are terrific ideas. You are very talented. My mother was like you. Unfortunately, most of her creativeness came from need. One item I remember her making was a coat for one of my younger sisters. Mom had a mink coat that she cut down to fit a kindergartner. Guess in her case necessity was the mother of invention. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
