Gorgeous! how long did it take u to make it

It took a few weeks to research prices and to collect brooches and other supplies. Once I started wiring brooches and taping everything together, it was just a few hours (including ripping it apart and starting over a few times lol).

well mine is still a work in progress, I find that the wiring leaves my poor lil fingers just a mess, and I am using some jewlery that is 80 years old so there are repairs to make as I go but here is the current work in progress, my plan is to have lilies all around it with the bling in the centerP1140012.JPGP1140013.JPGP1140014.JPG

every pin and earing are either from my jewelery box or deceased now, mom, grandmother, great grandmother, great aunt, living aunt previous mother in law, new mother in law sister.  Each one has a story, the butterfly on the top was actually part of a wind chime my FH gave me the first time we met, it had gotten broken in a move and I never let go of the pieces, so it all has meaning and it makes me smile, that said, my sister noted I may have to put wheels on the darn thing, its getting very very heavy

most of mine is not a traditional brooch, I used very thin craft wire and wired the piece using any area I could for some that wire just became part of the piece,  then used a thicker wire underneath to attache to a stem, then wrapped all in floral tape.  Its a really long process, but it is strong as heck and wont fall apart, my concern with using a glue would be the heat and the glue and leaving a lil trail of jeweled bread crumbs to the ceremony.  I wanted it to be in an orb shape to suit the design with the lily's later, but you can also wire them together in a traditional bouquet shape.  Just a note, this is hard on your hands, the wire can cut and easily pierce skin, and its a finiky job so gloves to help much.  I found its totally worth it but forwarned is forearmed lol

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
