Besides my dress, my absolute favorite detail of my wedding was my bouquet. As much as I would love to have have real flowers, it just wasn't me. I decided to make my bouquet out of old brooches, buttons and ear rings. My aunt and I went through a ton of antique and thrift shops looking for the perfect pieces. I wasn't really looking for the perfect matching pieces, just something that felt like me. It was also great that my mother had costume jewelry that belonged to my great grandmother that I was able to incorporate with my bouquet. Jae also gave me some brooches to add for a little something extra. I also added some beads and feathers to give it a little pizzazz. It took a lot of time, and hard work make it but it was beyond worth it. I now have something I can keep forever and pass down through my family.
My Aunt Jae also gave me the great idea to put a cameo brooch on the sash of my dress! She bought me the most perfect cameo brooch that had a slight hint of blue for my "something blue". We also decided to have my bridesmaids wear cameo brooches too so that they sort of matched me in a way. It was a perfect idea!
Then of course I have to talk about my jewelry. My
I am so thankful that even though it wasn't the perfect wedding, it was perfect to me. My friends and family were there, and I married my best friend. Plus, the little details made my day even better than if I had the finest jewels or most expensive dress.
