There is a lot of talent in the area of brooch bouquets, and the great thing about that is, there are more brides than talent. So, the bride looking for something unique and special for her wedding bouquet should have no problem finding the perfect designer to match her needs.<br />
<br />
Todays spotlight is on Marie Jenkinson of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LionsgateDesigns"></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LionsgateDesigns">Lionsgate Designs</a>:<br />

graphics. She has designed and built 4 homes, including renovating a
100-year-old barn into her current 4000 square foot home with
waterfalls, a 5-story silo with clear glass floors and historic
architectural pieces.<br />
<br />
She has been in the wedding industry since 1990 when she opened her first
of two historic buildings for weddings and receptions. Since then she has expanded to two beautiful locations, The Dove House and the
Gatehouse, as well as having three amazing suites on site for overnight
accommodations, full wedding planning services and now offering
amazing vintage brooch wedding bouquets.She has two bouquet studios,

These photos are examples of bouquets Marie has made for brides. Each one
is a totally unique one-of-a-kind piece of artwork just for that special bride! She can
make a bouquet from all of your brooches, earrings, and other items
(anything she can put a wire on can go into your bouquet) or all from her
huge collection of brooches and earrings, or a combination of the two.<br />
<br />
<br />
Marie is an amazingly sweet lady and you would love to work with her. If Marie has the design style you are looking for, you can contact her through her Etsy <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LionsgateDesigns?ref=seller_info">here</a> or fb page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lionsgate-Event-Center-The-Dove-House-Gatehouse/170396252759?sk=wall">here</a><br />

Marie firmly believes that each wedding should be unique to each bride and groom and everything to incorporate into your.beaming beautieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13057623998684630233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357098380257800824.post-57830270579056767012012-03-28T13:38:00.000-07:002012-03-31T13:37:38.110-07:00Not your typical brooch bouquetI am so excited about some of the items I have been creating for A Vintage Flair ( my new little hobby), the last several weeks. As some of you know the "Brooch Bouquet" is a hot item, right now. There as many variations as there are designers, which is awesome. Any bride should be able to research and find the perfect design for her special day. <br />
<br />
This journey started for me, when my daughter got engaged and decided on a "Vintage Wedding", She mentioned her love of vintage jewels and lace, and ask if I could make her a bouquet to reflect this.<br />
<br />
I did some research, bought some necessary items and.......<br />
