Brooches, brooches, brooches!

One wedding trend that is not fading away any time soon is the use of brooches. It is a perfect way to add a touch of glam to your wedding. Brooches can be placed on a wedding gown, bridesmaids dresses, shoes, hair pieces, clutches or handbags, invitations, wedding cakes, guest books, ring pillows, centerpieces, floral bouquets, and more. Depending on the item you wish to enhance with a brooch, weight and size need to be considered. A heavier brooch would not work for invitations, hair pieces, or cakes.

Brooches should always match the style of your wedding. If you are having an elegant, formal affair, you may want to use a brooch with pearl adornments. If you are having a fun, modern event, you may want to look for a brooch that has a lot of "bling" or color to it. Vintage or antique brooches would perfectly accent a Southern-style wedding. Although brooches are small in size, if done correctly, they can make a huge impact on the overall look of your wedding. It truly is ALL about the details these days.

Brooches can be purchased at bridal salons, antique shops, jewelry stores, flea markets and on tons of different websites (such as Etsy, Amazon, bridal sites and craft sites). Happy hunting!
