Also love your bouquet too, Jen. ![*thumb up*](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/p7M85rCnldUVnmPyh4AT.gif) I take it, you didn't toss that over your shoulder? ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/V_yPuiwBICIqOziN7BjO.gif) Um, no - we weighed it, it's just under 2 kilos!! It's now taking pride of place in my (purple) fireplace, so much better than real flowers and I had all my somethings in one ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) My bridesmaid is getting married in a couple of years and wants me to make one for her now...I told her fine, but she'd have to source all the brooches and it'd count as her wedding present - I ain't doing all that again in a hurry! I had no skin left on my fingers by the end of it ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/sU7cj5E4S5DphNAIOMRn.gif)

![snickering_smiley](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/yH_x2wFGwZ96INQJhbhJ.gif) Sheeeesh.....it would have killed those trying to catch it! A beautiful keep forever keepsake, lovely idea. ![*thumb up*](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/p7M85rCnldUVnmPyh4AT.gif) Lucky girl, if you're up to giving your time, blood & skin making another. thinkingsmileyNo, no good me asking you to knock one up for my niece then! ![snickering_smiley](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/yH_x2wFGwZ96INQJhbhJ.gif)

I think the going rate for one o' them beauties is about £500+. It's time-consuming and fiddly, and sourcing the brooches actually quite difficult and expensive. Mine probably cost me about £200 all told (and I scoured all the charity shops), but I LOVE it, it looked awesome, it's more environmentally-friendly, everyone commented on it and I do indeed get to keep it forever ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Some DIY tutorials here and here though, if you or your niece want to make one ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Or you can pay me loadsamoney! ![snickering_smiley](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/yH_x2wFGwZ96INQJhbhJ.gif)

I'm not surprised at the cost & I wish, but as I'm the poor one, with poor dexterity, I will pass......now say awwwwwww!! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif) Methinks I'll forward the link to my sis & other niece & see what they think. ![*thumb up*](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/p7M85rCnldUVnmPyh4AT.gif) So thank you very much for them, Jen. ![*flowers*](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/qMXEeugS1bfrd5kEH8Xq.gif) (my effort!) ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Heh, if you/they want any advice I'll be happy to pass on my experience! The handle is very important, I didn't use the pool noodle thing, and the ribbons and pins did slip a tiny bit as you can see in this pic (one of my faves - and it was just our 1st anniversary, so that's my excuse!): ![](http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u572/JenLawsonUK/bouquet2_zpsf4c0acc4.jpg)

![*cheers*](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/Vx6QECqQADBpqG6ddJje.gif) Jen! I'll see what they say, when I've spoken to them & they've seen the links. If you don't mind, I'll nick a copy of your pix to send them too. It is truly beautiful!

I received the silver one of these yesterday! I've not tried it with juice in and don't think I will ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/tp5PrWyI_PKJl_LSRuh9.gif) Looks nice, but i really can't see it being leak tight ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Your wee plastic bottle screws into the threads on the top, but doesn't seem very secure. the push button thing that you can see protruding is on a very thin piece of tubular plastic. when you try to push the bottle back inside it just sort of crinkles ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

With all that purple juice you'll be making purple rain ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif) Ooh just had an idea for first million... is it possible to make vape gas coloured??? Imagine sitting vaping and emitting purple vapes. Ossum!

Oh wow that bouquet is beautiful! I'm afraid I've gone for a traditional bouquet, although one of the flowers in it will be the Scottish thistle and also some heather
