Brooches & Knobs...OH MY!!!!

There are so many different options you can do with a bouquet now a days. Some are simple and elegant, some have fruit, berries and even twigs, acorns etc. But I have to say when I first saw these I fell in LOVE!

Have you ever thought about what happens to old door knobs? Where do they go? Some have character and style that should be used again!

Here is a unique twist on a door knob bouquet... I announce to you the Door Knob Bouquet.....squeeee!

Simple, elegant and a perfect forever keepsake! No need to worry about trying to dry out your flowers just right....now you can put this anywhere in your home and look at it all the time and think of that fabulous wedding day or special occasion!

Don't just stop with the bride....think of your bridesmaids too! This would be a great 
DIY  project with all of your girls. Search etsy, antique shops, thrift stores, craft stores, and your local Anthropologie for a collection of knobs that are just your taste.


Taking this a step further what about brooches....I mean there are so many different ones out there. Not to mention a perfect way to incorporate family heirlooms and jewels and that certainly adds a personal touch! Not to mention something old.


You can find brooches at antique shops, vintage jewelery stores, thrift stores, ask around your family/friends/neighbors, garage sales and etsy.

This bouquet would make a nice keepsake or you could give brooches away to your bridal party as keepsakes. Maybe even get a brooch that reminds you of each of your bridesmaids and place it in your bouquet so that you can give them something extra special at the end of the night.
