blog, Sacramento Wedding Planner

Back in December, I blogged about a fabulous new trend,  brooch bouquets, after running across Fantasy Floral’s amazing creations in a wedding magazine. Well, it appears that I was onto something hot! It’s one of the most frequently read posts on my blog. So, I wanted to take a moment to share a local resource with everyone. Shannon with Flourish Designs here in Sacramento was also inspired by the very same bouquets! But, being the wonderfully unique individual that she is, she has added her own twist and created something magnificent! I love the addition of fresh flowers! Check out the photos and Shannon’s story below!

“I came across the beautiful brooch bouquets designed by the wonderful Fantasy Floral.  I loved everything about her brooch bouquets. What a beautiful and special way to use sentimental pieces to make your bridal bouquet.  Most of her bouquets are made from pieces she collects from the client.  The client provides her with jewelry, brooches and other pieces from her family members and Fantasy Floral then works the jewelry pieces into a special bouquet the bride carries down the aisle.”

“I decided to use the same idea but give it my own twist by adding fresh flowers.  These bouquets are actually using all the same jewelry.  I just re-worked them into two different bouquets.  The jewelry is 1/2 vintage pieces from my grandmother and great-grandmother and 1/2 new pieces.  I had such an amazing time designing these bouquets.  They were even more amazing in person.  Total show stoppers.”
