Some Bling for the Bridesmaids…

Some Bling for the Bridesmaids…

I love a deal. I love shopping. I will admit, I am a hopeless bargain store shopper (give me a TJ Maxx or Marshall’s and I am a happy girl).

I was out shopping for a shower curtain, and on a whim I decided to look in Burlington Coat Factory, since I knew they had a home goods section.

Well, little did I know that my trip would quickly turn wedding-related, as when I stepped through the door, what did I see but a jewelry rack chock full of brooches!

I have grown quite fond of the idea of attaching a brooch to my bouquet (and to those of my bridesmaids)!

Don’t you think the brooch adds an extra little “je ne sais quoi?”

I was immediately drawn to these blue beauties, which I think will pop against the bouquets (we will all be carrying white flowers)!

So, what do you think? Are you planning on adding a little something extra to your bouquet(s)? What are you planning to do/what did you do to spice up your floral arrangements?

Those are pretty! And yours can double as your “something blue”!

What a great, easy find! I did something similar, and had good luck finding some neat ones on Etsy.

Is Charles Klein Calvin’s younger, lesser-known brother?? Heehee! I love the broaches, they’ll look great on the bouquets!

I love the broaches! It adds such a classy personal touch to anything in your wedding. We recently had a bride that used broaches as decorations on her cake and it turned out fantastic! Love, Love, Love!

Yours in Perfect Planning,

I love this idea (and I’m totally stealing it)!! There are a ton of little antique stores right by my apartment so I’m going to look there for my BM bling.

I was going to say the something blue thing too! They are really, really pretty…I didn’t notice the Charles Klein, I just thought they said Calvin. Oops.

Love it! I’m using my grandmother’s cameo on my bouquet. I didn’t think of getting brooches for my bridesmaids’ bouquets, too…..now I’ll have to take a look at what’s out there!

Oh, those are beautiful! But apparently I’m a sucker for anything flowers I’m excited to see them with the all white bouquets!

@EAQ219: Oooh antique store finds would be so fabulous!!!

@bluestuff: A cameo would be so pretty! I wish I had one to use…I definitely would if I did!

@Miss Guinea Pig: The anticipation might kill me. I hate that I won’t see the flowers before the day of the wedding!!!

Those look gorgeous!
And as a random question - do you know what kind of flowers the dark fuschia flowers are in the first bouquet? They looked like carnations or garden roses but I couldn’t quite tell.

Love the idea! I decided to have our bouquet’s wrapped with fun trim from a trim shop here in NYC. It gave it some “bling”!

So pretty! I have been looking at brooches for mine, but I haven’t decided yet. It’s very hard to be budget conscious when there are so many pretty things!

Lovely! The blue will look so nice against the white bouquets. I’m thinking of having my bouquet ballet wrapped, but who knows now — you’ve inspired me!
