Brooch Bouquet Process for The Ritzy Rose

Brooch Bouquet Process

At The Ritzy Rose each bouquet is handcrafted using a process created through years of experience. Each brooch is hand wired, so as not to manipulate any of the jewelry. No glue is used in the process and each piece is securely attached by wire to create a stem, and those wires are finished with high quality ribbon to finalize your look.

Custom Bouquet Process

The Ritzy Rose offers a vast collection of pieces to create your bouquet. You have the opportunity to work with Jen Diehl on your bouquet to create the statement that fits you. It starts with choosing your style, then your pieces and the ribbon to finish the stem. The custom process depends on many things and details follow.

What Makes The Ritzy Rose Different

At the heart of The Ritzy Rose is fashion, and that is a big difference. The Ritzy Rose's design style comes from over a decade in the fashion industry, which sets her apart from traditional florists. Their experience is far beyond the rest, and after years of being a leader in brooch bouquets you will be working with a designer who can easily guide you through the process. The Ritzy Rose's inventory of thousands of vintage brooches makes them one of the last designers sticking to vintage pieces. A majority of the collection is vintage jewelry that is meticulously sourced. Vintage adds character, uniqueness, and an eco-friendly aspect, not to mention the long-lasting quality. Miranda Lambert chose The Ritzy Rose- why wouldn't you?

Your Input on the Design

Your input is welcome. Jen has worked with hundreds of brides and helps guide each one. Her expertise is essential to creating your look, and is one of the differences with The Ritzy Rose. You choose color, style, texture, size and look. You can be as specific or vague as you would like, and Jen will guide you to your dream bouquet.

Brides can come to the studio in Central Ohio to look through the collection and pick their selection of pieces. Working with Jen in person adds to the experience. Feel free to setup an appointment with Jen by calling or emailing.

When to Begin the Process

The Ritzy Rose's goal is to have a bouquet to you one month before your wedding. As far as how long it takes, there are some variables. Sometimes pieces may need to be specifically ordered for you and that process can take some time as well. The approval process of pieces to use and stem color can take time. It is normal to start six months to one year before your wedding.

Approval Process

Once you express how you want the your bouquet to look, you can have pictures of the pieces emailed to you. Many brides skip this step since once in a bouquet the pieces can take on a whole new life. A picture can be sent of the bouquet in progress before your stem color is chosen. A final picture for approval will be sent prior to shipping. Often times slight adjustments can be made, but sometimes major changes once you have moved on can cause extra fees (this rarely occurs).

The Three Styles

Round is the signature look from The Ritzy Rose. Jen and Miranda both carried a round bouquet that provides a different style for a bouquet. The bouquet has pieces at every angle.

Natural (domed) is an organic look to your brooch bouquet. This style looks more like a traditional bouquet and the pieces are loose, but solid. This style is the most popular.

Floral bouquets offer a softer look and a lighter weight bouquet. There are two main styles with floral bouquets. One is to use large flowers like roses or peonies, and the other style uses more of a hydrangea offering more petals than individual flowers.

Why Choose a Brooch Bouquet

Choosing a brooch bouquet has a lot of benefits. Adding family pieces and special mementos can make it something that can have more meaning than any other accessory. Fresh flowers can wilt and be unpredictable, but a brooch bouquet is ready to go on the big day. It is the perfect accessory for destination weddings and outdoor weddings. The bouquet is also a piece of the wedding that lasts and lets you remember the big day for years. Many brides are excited to think that their daughter may one day carry it down the aisle. It is also eco-friendly.
