Alyssa's Centerpieces

Designing and making Alyssa's centerpieces has been such an awesome project! Since her wedding is a bicultural one, I really wanted to make something unique that reflected that Spanish/English-ness of the reception. The result was fabulous custom Spanish/English signs for each table. They were super easy and fun to make!

The next element was the flowers. Oh how I adore fabric flowers. I made several different kinds as accent pieces for each table. Then I got to thinking... since this reception is going to be such a guest centered fiesta, how fun would it be to have a little gift for those that stay and help clean up and such. Consequently... I made each flower as a brooch by simply putting a safety pin on the back so that if Alyssa wants, she can give them to her guests at the end!

So here it is, the final product... A $10 a table centerpiece!

- A fun piece of scrapbook paper for a splash of color

- 3 or 4 fabric flowers (brooches) in black, green or cream

- A picture of Alyssa & Guillermo in cute Dollar Store frames

- A custom bilingual sign

- Babies breath in a Dollar Store vase

Frayed Flower Bouquet

This is an inexpensive alternative to the Jewelry Bouquet but is just as unique!

Vintage Brooch Bouquet

I made this bouquet using various jewelry pieces; necklaces, rings, brooches, bracelets, hair pieces, etc... It was a little spendy and took a lot of time to stem every piece, but it was well worth it and I LOVE how it turned out! Now I have an heirloom that I can pass on to future generations.
