How to Make a Non-Traditional Brooch and Flowers Lace Fan Wedding Bouquet

The brooch and flowers lace fan bouquet can be adapted to fit all wedding styles. This non-traditional bouquet looks especially stunning with a formal or Victorian wedding dress. You can use one or several brooches to make the lace fan bouquet. Match the flowers and ribbon to the colors in the brooch you have chosen. It is also a good idea to make a replica bouquet without the brooches. This will be the bouquet that the bride throws.

Brooch and Flowers Lace Fan Wedding Bouquet

Supplies:

Glue gun
Glue sticks
Scissors
Brooch
Silk flowers
2 yards satin ribbon
Floral wire

Directions:

1. Pin the brooch on the center, front of the lace fan. The placement of the brooch is a matter of taste. The brooch can also be placed at the top, bottom or sides of the fan. If you are using more that one brooch, you can place them in a cluster on the center of the fan, or place them sporadically on the front of the fan.

2. Glue the silk flowers around the brooch. Make sure to glue the flowers so that they frame the brooch, and try to keep them from overlapping and covering it.

3. Make a bow with the ribbon. Make sure the tails of the bow are as long as possible. Glue the bow to the bottom, front of the fan. Glue flowers on the bow.

Lace Fan Wedding Bouquet Decorating Alternatives

1. If you are having a beach wedding, replace the flowers with seashells and starfishes.

2. For a goth wedding, use black flowers and a bold red or black brooch. Choose black ribbon for the bow.

3. This fan is perfect for a Victorian wedding. To make the lace fan bouquet more ornate, use lace ribbon for the bow. Glue a string of pearl beads throughout the flowers and around the brooch.

4. Glue a thin piece of rope and mini cowboy hats or any western-theme decoration around the brooch for a western-style fan wedding bouquet. A turquoise brooch would look stunning on this western-theme fan bouquet.

5. Feathers glued throughout the flowers and around the brooch also makes a striking, non-traditional lace fan wedding bouquet.
