This one’s for you Sloth. Thanks for the motivation!

My bouquet was unique, beautiful, and extremely heavy. Seriously heavy. If you’re planning on making one of these lovelies, I recommend you start doing push-ups, stat. Despite barely having the arm strength to pull it off, I LOVED carrying my bouquet, and am still loving it on a daily basis, as it now lives perched on a corner of our mantle.

I must confess though, that I’m jumping the gun a little here in sharing my bouquet with you guys. I was trying to wait for our pro-pics, but I’m *cough* too impatient and I feel like I’ve seen a few howthehelldoyoumakethosebroochbouquet type quandaries around the blogosphere lately. And it’s so simple (albeit a bit tedious) that I feel bad holding out on you guys! It’s really no big deal right? It just means you might have to endure yet ANOTHER bouquet post once we actually do have our pro-pics back. That wouldn’t be so bad, would it?

So here’s the deal: today I show you the goods, and tomorrow I show you how to make your own bouquet/WMD.

And maybe the day after that, our pro-pics will arrive, kinda like when you’re waiting for the bus and someone lights a cigarette, ya know? It’s magic.

Not too shabby, right? In the end I just wrapped the stem/handle with navy grosgrain (my fav) ribbon and that was that.

Are you crafting a (non) flower bouquet? Or carrying something else down the aisle? Do tell!
