That could mean only one thing...We HAD to try one!! So we set out collecting them every time we were out and about. Mostly from local Antique Shops, but you can also buy bundles from Ebay.
Our humble beginnings. Sara did a great job assembling all the flowers...
And viola!!! 
We will end up putting artificial stems (like pic below) coming out of Sara's base in the end, with a big cameo brooch attached to the wrap-around ribbon. 
Below, are many more beautiful creations from this wonderful Etsy artist. Enjoy!!!

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend.♥
Gorgeous and so very special! Amazing! Lori
I have never seen this done and I absolutely love it.
Did your Mom have any of these pins that you could incorporate into one?
What a gorgeous idea, and it looks fab!
I'll have to look out for those, I havent seen them before.
Pretty! Sara did a great job on her's. I have seen something similar made out of vintage rhinestone and faux peal jewelry - thinking it might have been in a magazine.
Enjoy your weekend.

Pretty, clever, unique and 'green'! Awesome idea.
Cudos for making your own. It's way more budget friendly!!!
Oh My Gosh that is so amazing! What a great idea for the bouquet! I collect old pins like that, I might just have to make one of these!
How cool...those are fantastic. You know how I love the playful vintage jewelry. I'm hooked on it. Two sets of pink plastic necklaces, two orange gerber daisy pins, pink and lavender rhinestones...gotta have it!
Thanks for the idea...way cool!!!
A bit Groovy girl don't-cha think???
WOW!!! Seriously WOW!!! My daughter isn't even close to getting married, and I think we need to start collecting old pins.
That is a great idea! I think it would be beautiful displayed in a vase, too!
I just love these flower bouquets!!They are so gorgeous!

Oh my gosh they are so cute ... I love yours !
This is absolutely stunning! & so unique...in spite of being available on etsy, this is the first time I have come accross the idea & I'm sure it will be one of the things your wedding guests will be blown away by & will always remember!! The colours you have chosen are perfect for the 'Tiffany' Blue theme...thank you so much for sharing!!
Wow! This is way fun! I loved teh peacock one. Also, you could paint the styrofoam ball or cover it in silk before attaching the pins.
