Last year I had the honour of making this beaded bouquet with vintage brooches for a bride.  The initial concept came from <a>Vintage Magpie</a>.  I studied her work and tried to create something unique, yet still respect the bride's requests.  I then chatted to <a>Emma Bakker of Vintage Magpie</a> and told her about my project and she was more than happy that I shared it.  Her work is exceptional, but unfortunately the weak South African exchange rate makes her bespoke creations a little out of our reach.  This order was an awesome challenge as I made something that I had never attempted.  Hours of beading and brooch hunting lead to this...that and of course lots of love and care!</div><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6Fb4CWGxqgE/T85xWk_nDNI/AAAAAAAAF6s/s93TkfYyuBg/s1600/Bouquet.jpg"/></a></div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><div id="related-posts"></div><div class="clear"></div><div class="post-footer"><span class="post-labels"><a>Craft and DIY</a></span><div class="addthis_toolbox"><div class="sharedissbox"><span class="sharedis"><a class="facebook"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a></span><span class="sharedis"><a class="twitter"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a></span><span class="sharedis"><a class="pint-er-est"><i class="fa fa-pinterest-p"></i></a></span></div></div><div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"><span class="post-comment-link"></span></div><div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-2"></div><div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-3"><span class="post-location"></span></div></div><div class="clear"></div><div class="blog-pager x" id="blog-pager"><div id="blog-pager-newer-link"><a class="blog-pager-newer-link" id="Blog1_blog-pager-newer-link"><i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i></a></div><div id="blog-pager-older-link"><a class="blog-pager-older-link" id="Blog1_blog-pager-older-link"><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></a></div><a class="home-link">Home</a></div><div class="clear"></div></div><div class="comments" id="comments"><a></a><div id="backlinks-container"><div id="Blog1_backlinks-container"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blog-pager x" id="blog-pager"><div id="blog-pager-newer-link"><a class="blog-pager-newer-link" id="Blog1_blog-pager-newer-link"><i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i></a></div><div id="blog-pager-older-link"><a class="blog-pager-older-link" id="Blog1_blog-pager-older-link"><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></a></div><a class="home-link">Home</a></div><div class="clear"></div><div class="post-feeds"></div></div></div></div></div><div class="column-left-outer"><div class="column-left-inner"><aside></aside></div></div><div class="column-right-outer"><div class="column-right-inner"><aside><div class="sidebar section" id="sidebar-right-1"><div class="widget HTML" id="HTML44"><h2 class="title">Follow Me</h2><div class="widget-content"><div id="socmedicons"> <a><i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i></a> <a><i class="fa fa-instagram"></i></a></div></div><div class="clear"></div></div><div class="widget PopularPosts" id="PopularPosts1"><h2>Popular Posts</h2><div class="widget-content popular-posts"><ul><li><div class="item-thumbnail-only"><div class="item-thumbnail"><a><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YvCB85I8Zz8/U32UaVjXFNI/AAAAAAAANgc/oVg1OB6OL8g/w72-h72-p-k-no-nu/84af8d71583e230b74164d56a8fd7fce.jpg"/></a></div><div class="item-title"><a>Meet Free Monday: Planning Editon</a></div></div><div style="clear: both;"></div></li></ul><div class="clear"></div></div></div><div class="widget HTML" id="HTML4"><h2 class="title">Pinterest</h2><div class="widget-content"><div class="pinterest"></div></div><div class="clear"></div></div><div class="widget Label" id="Label1"><h2>
