Miranda Lambert's dreamy Bridal Brooch Bouquets brought to life by Artist, Noaki.

    Miranda Lambert decided to have something a little different for her bridal bouquet, she started a vintage boom of Bridal Brooch Bouquets! They are still the rage in a bridal trends today and I couldn't be more pleased that using something "vintage" is still so popular. 
    When I posted about this before I used photos by several artists on Etsy but the reality is that the ones I loved the most were all hand crafted by a girl named Noaki. She has over 800 sales and over 2,500 visits to her site. 
    I don't know Noaki, I just admire her work so 
    I wanted to share with you!
    In her words, Noaki said that this idea began because "she was trying to figure out what to do with pieces of my grandmother's old jewelry that I'd held onto for decades -- scraps of the forgotten excess of the Art Deco era that were too lovely to discard but too old- fashioned to wear. Eventually the pieces she created led to her little shop."
     As you can see she makes bridal and bridesmaid 
    bouquets in any color you request!
    The daughter of a fine arts painter and an industrial designer, She has had a pretty eclectic upbringing, living for spells in Japan, France, India and England. 
    "My roots, however, are in California. Living overseas made me reflect on the lifestyle here -- the angled light and sea air, the crumpled terrain and buried past – rusted, shuttered canneries, splintered gray piers and bleached Deco buildings." 
    "I try to bring this breadth to the pieces I make. From my Southern California studio I recycle vintage jewelry found at second hand shops and flea markets and hand fashion each piece, combining Art Deco period brooches, vintage cuff links, shoe clips and other baubles with semi precious gems." 

    "Each piece is unique or very limited edition, and many can be worn with everything from a tank top to a cocktail or wedding dress." 
    After looking at all her bouquets I want to have one made myself! I just can't decide what colors I would want. Maybe several mini ones would satisfy my indecision!! If you want to look at her entire collection just click on her name above to take you to her Etsy site.

    Brooch Bouquets, Miranda Lambert's new fashion trend!

    Ever since Miranda Lambert was photographed at her wedding to Blake Shelton with her brooch bouquet, the trend has gone through the roof!! I have to admit if I were walking down the isle again this is definitely what i would do!
    This is the bouquet she walked down the isle with. From what I have read, when she has one of her bridal showers, each guest was asked to bring a vintage or new broach to make her bouquet. What a great idea!
    So, I gathered these photos from several artists, all to be found on Etsy, to show you some of the different styles and colors. They range in price from $200-$1200 depending on the size.
    I can't think of a better way to recycle vintage pieces of jewelry,
    and you'll have the bouquet to cherish always.
    I loved this purple one, I can see a winter bride choosing this one.
    This vintage piece just leaves me in awe. Can you imagine how many brooches it takes to just make one! It's no wonder they're a bit high. Yet, I hear real flowers are even more, and they'll wilt!
    I always think of Irish weddings when I see purple bouquets. 
    Something blue.
    All the colors perfect for a fall wedding.
    Even a button bouquet looks beautiful when accented with brooches and bling!
    Oh wow, takes your breath away doesn't it1
    These  are mini-bouquets, possibly for the bridesmaids or the flower girl?
    You can have all white or every color in the rainbow like this one. It's hard to pick a favorite.
    I love this color teal with the red mixed in.
    This one had more of a vintage feel because of the gold and muted colors.
    What a fun summer or spring bouquet with every color! This way you won't have to chose just one color. Or maybe you have one bouquet for the wedding and one for the reception! Just be careful when you throw the bouquet, this one might leave a bump! If you are interested in finding any of these gorgeous pieces go to Etsy.com and look to your heart's desire.
