Here’s another little set of custom boutonnieres I recently finished up.  I got to incorporate one of my very favorite ribbons into this group.  I found the entire blue and white polka dot spool for 50 cents at an antique store and I could not be more thrilled with it.  The velvet is vintage and I hand dyed it to bring a bit of brighter blue into the mix.  This bride has been a real pleasure to work with, and I just can’t wait to make the next piece for this set.  It’s going to be  an heirloom corsage for the groom’s grandmother made using a pin that belonged to his late grandfather.  I was really touched by the sweetness of it all when this bride asked me if I could incorporate the momento.  I am sure it will not be lost on her new grandmother (in law).  Will post pictures of the corsage when it is complete.
