A quick overview of how I fell upon making fabric bouquets

Any women who is dating a guy for a while, will secretly plan a few elements of her wedding. (If ever the boyfriend could propose, you'd have the basics of what you'd like.)
I was one of those girls. I'm a pinaholic (someone addicted to Pinterest) and I had a board for wedding ideas that I liked. One ideas was to have a fabric/brooch bouquet to be able to cherish for the rest of my life with my better half.
Finally! The BIG day came and my husband to be proposed to me! (its a pretty good story, but I'll keep that for another post). Anyways, so away I go on making my Pinterest board a reality! I start looking online for prices on these beautiful fabric bouquets to only figure out that I'd have to work  a few months to pay for just one, let alone one for each of my bridesmaids, flower girls and so on.
I'm a pretty crafty kind of lady so I told myself I could make these myself. I researched for a few weeks. Found fantastic tutorial on YouTube and Google Search. I gathered the fabrics, brooches and other little details I wanted and began my project. Here is what I came up with

 These are my mother and mother-in-law-to-be's wrist corsage. Made with a stretch lace wrist band and large flower.

This is the one of the flower girls Pomanders. Its made from a small foam ball. I created several flowers and then glued them all on the ball. I added a white ribbon to hold.

This is my bouquet (I did not add the handle yet because it would take up much more room 'til the wedding day). Using the same idea as the Pomander. I got a larger foam ball made several flowers and glued those on with the brooches and other little details.  

Same for the bridesmaids. I used a medium size ball and followed the same steps.

 

 

This is when Forever Bouquet was born. I since then have  made dozens of orders including bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, headbands, and sashes.

 

 

I will eventually do a step by step tutorial on how to make a bouquet similar to these. I'll attach the link at that time.

 

Thank you:)
