Been working on brooch bouquets for the past 2 months and I can say that, without a doubt.. you learn a lot as you go. At first, I was using the wires.. but found that you had to have several, tightly wound wires throughout all angles of the brooch..otherwise it'll rock around. It was pain staking to the point where I had to chill for a few days to regain my sanity lol. No one has time to meticulously wire 50-100 brooches. No one. What I DID find was the most successful method, was, like you, hot gluing the brooches onto the bouquet. That being said, I also used 'some' wire for extra durability in the middle of the brooch. I would glue on the brooch, then take a 5 inch long piece of 20 gauge wire, bend it in half so it is like a tight U shape (use pliers to bend) and then I would find a safe spot in the middle of the brooch, and use a small craft hammer and hammer it in. Literally, the easiest, the best. You can only notice the wire if you are looking really hard for it.. not even noticeable
Same.... I'm making my nieces bouquet, and her wedding party. I used the wire technique with mine but when my friend wanted one a couple of yrs later, I started hot gluing and it is so much easier and very pretty. She just wanted ribbon roses, and I taught myself how to do them. But I now know I like different flowers so now I know how to do different flowers besides the roses. I'm self taught.
absolutely stunning as usual Nicole! I made my daughter-in-laws bouquet and her bridal party with your guidance. I thank you! I also made the flowers. She loved it!!
Absolutely gorgeous! You make it look so easy... you got me ready to make my own brooch bouquet...lol thank you so much for sharing your talent. I can’t wait to make one! Blessings to you!
Nicole, you are the one girl with a WWOOWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched your bling video twice child and it is I really don't have the words. It should cost allot, you have allot if time and the materials aren't cheap. I crochet and hopefully I will have my own shop by this time next year in Hampton Ga, it's 30 mins. from downtown Atlanta and my specialty right now are scarfs,, shawls, cowls. and just like you, I am good at what I put my mind too.Continue to keep up the good work. God Bless
Diane McDougald hello neighbor to be..... I currently live in Hampton, GA... I was thinking that she should NAME the Bouquet after the first BRIDE that orders it and she makes it for, what do you think.
I think that would be a great idea. Hey, since you're so close why not drop by the shop in Stockbridge and look at a few of my pieces. You can't miss them because they are the only handmade crochet pcs in there. Let the owner know I sent you by, who knows you might want to buy a pc or two. MsLovingLife that is really would be the best name. Hit me back up sometime and let me know if you checked out my pieces at Elegance Boutique. Inside Stockbridge Plaza 5017C North Henry Blvd Stockbridge Ga, 30281. Hope to hear from you soon.
Have you thought of placing/standing the bouquet upright in a narrow box to avoid the slipping and sliding if it while you are working? You’ll also be able to see the entire bouquet while you are working on it.
Thanks for sharing this DIY video Miss Nicole. Love it. I am a Floral Designer but, I enjoy watching others create beautiful bouquets. I agree...No Wires :-)
Hola Nicol soy de Mendoza Argentina , estoy emprendiendo en el tema de las rosas y flores de cinta y ahora siguiendo lo que enseñas voy a armar un ramo...de novia espero que me salga tan hermoso como los tuyos..Tambien queria preguntarte como o donde comprar esos broches hermosos para adornar los ramos? Gracias por tus enseñanzas...
I just love that you love what you're doing. Your enthusiasm sure is contagious! I want to try my hand at making this for my daughter's wedding. Do you have a tutorial for the roses?
Hi Nicole yours work of art is Excellent and Amazing I L😍ve it, I just have a question are you make it yourself the little Roses for Bouquet or you buy them ready to for use, let me know Please Ma'am, if making yourself than Please put the video on TH-cam I would love to see it how u do it.Thanks😁😁😁🌹🌹🌹😁😀
tirou toda beleza dos botões de rosa prata, muito brilho, escondeu todas as rosas, ficou lindo, mas com menos brilho mostrando um pouco das rosas ficaria lindo também.
Nicole, your work is spectacular! I've been watching your other rose brooch bouquet videos as well. Quick question - I love the silver roses in this video. DId you make those or did you purchase them? Thanks for sharing your awesome videos! Christine
hi Nicole. years later...but how much would you charge for one that looks like this one but large enough for the bride who's about 5' tall AND with the heaviness you mentioned this size may be just fine? Hope this is still relevant
Bouquets by Nicole Thank you for your quick response. thank you, thank you! I'm literally sitting down to make my bouquet from your site right now and was a little panicked. Lol. So you wouldn't use it for this project at all? not even to glue down the brooches? Nothing ever falls off? Do you use a specific kind of hot glue stick or your run of the mill stuff? Help! Lol! I totally should have paid to have you craft this. My nerves! Lol!
sorry about that...... like I was saying if it's a new creation it should be name after the bride it was made for. let's say Linda ordered that bling and silver one. it she be called THE LINDA....... peace and Blessings are sent out to you.
Hi Nicole. I absolutely love this bouquet! Thanks for all the tips! Can you explain how you attach the pipe to the styrofoam? Are you cutting a hole inside of it to give it some grip or are you just simply putting it against the flat side and gluing it down? That's the part I am most stuck on! Thanks!!

I used pins in the brooch bouquet I made.
I love how you are so detailed and not rushing your work watching your videos are a motivation and helps a lot

I know someone has asked before but do you make cascading bouquets?
I have a question, can you use the real touch roses for this bouquet, instead of the satin roses? Thanks.
When first starting out, how did you advertise?
Nicole, your work is spectacular! I've been watching your other rose brooch bouquet videos as well. Quick question - I love the silver roses in this video. DId you make those or did you purchase them? Thanks for sharing your awesome videos! Christine
Perfect Nicole! You Rock

30-35 roses
hello Nicole thanks a lot for tutorials I've really learn so much from u but hw can I get d cera foil ball
They are on sale at www.bouquetsbynicole.com
Fit for a quen. Id call it Majestic.
I think that is a great idea. Thanks!!!!
Hi Nicole. thank you for your videos. I'm a new subscriber. What size Styrofoam would you use for a bride bouquet?
I usually use the 8" half ball for the brides
What type of glue gun is best? They come in different heat levels. Which is best to use?
hello Nicole..... you are doing a great job. You should name the bouquet after the first bride that orders it. that rhinestone and silver one should
What a great idea......Thanks
Do you ever use colored hot glue? Black, gold silver, blue to help with glue not to show as much??
OMG thats a good idea. I will give it a try. thanks
What size styrofoam ballsDo you use andDo you cut your own?Where do you get them?
This is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
hi Nicole. years later...but how much would you charge for one that looks like this one but large enough for the bride who's about 5' tall AND with the heaviness you mentioned this size may be just fine? Hope this is still relevant

Stunning!
How many brooches did you use.
Beautiful nice job 😍😍
Oh you cover all the roses so why you put them
I love how passionate you are❤

This is soooooo beautiful
Hi Nicole,
Why not use E6000 glue? would you recommend it over hot glue?
Hi I usually use e6000 for gluing metals. It has a very strong smell.
Bouquets by Nicole Thank you for your quick response. thank you, thank you!
I'm literally sitting down to make my bouquet from your site right now and was a little panicked. Lol. So you wouldn't use it for this project at all? not even to glue down the brooches? Nothing ever falls off? Do you use a specific kind of hot glue stick or your run of the mill stuff? Help! Lol! I totally should have paid to have you craft this. My nerves! Lol!
@@azianoel00 maybe gorilla glue sticks?
sorry about that...... like I was saying if it's a new creation it should be name after the bride it was made for. let's say Linda ordered that bling and silver one. it she be called THE LINDA....... peace and Blessings are sent out to you.

Olá gostei muito do bouquet, quanto custa?
Soooo beeeautiful👏👏👏
Perfeito lindo sou do Brasil faço buquês mas não tenho os broche tão lindos quanto os seus
Where do I go to see prices on the brooch bouquets ? I would like to order one.
Our website is our name bouquetsbynicole
omg girl thank you so much!!!!! its beautiful!!!
You need a holder for the stem. Something you can spin.
What is the diameter of the bouquet stick?
Do you see any issues with adding flowers made of paper alongside the fabric roses? I'd like to include the love notes he's sent me in my bouquet❤
That’s so dope
What a good idea 💖
What do you charge for a full brooch Bridal bouquet?
I need to purchase a kit what would be a good size for a medium bouquet? I am on the site now. Also do you recommend 1-1.25 size satin roses or 2?
2in is better and a 8" kit is good for medium bouquet
Bouquets by Nicole thanks. How long does it take for the kit to ship?
SO GORGEOUS
WOW!!!
beautiful ,n thanks for d knowledge
New Subbie 🙌😍I absolutely love it 🙌 I'm going to start making my very own for my wedding 💃💃
Hi Nicole. I absolutely love this bouquet! Thanks for all the tips! Can you explain how you attach the pipe to the styrofoam? Are you cutting a hole inside of it to give it some grip or are you just simply putting it against the flat side and gluing it down? That's the part I am most stuck on! Thanks!!
Yes make a small hole add some glue in the hole and around the pipe.
Hi. Do you know what diameter the pvc pipe is? I know the length is 8 inches. But not sure if what diameter is?
Great job !
simply gorgeous
