Forever Brooch Bouquets

took the upmost care with my late mother’s dress and I honestly can’t even tell that she took fabric from it! This is by far the best thing I’ve picked for my wedding and I am so excited to walk down the aisle with it.

tep of the process, also sending progress pictures. She took care of the materials that I sent to her as if they were her own family heirlooms. The end result of my bouquet was stunning! Everyone that saw it was amazed at her talent, and I am so grateful to have this beautiful piece as a keepsake for the rest of my life. I cannot recommend Michelle enough to everyone; not just for a wedding but for decor pieces that are truly one-of-a-kind works of art.

nd I. My husbands mother passed away 10 years ago and while never having met her, I knew we somehow needed to honor her presence on our big day. My now sister-in-law was gracious enough to gift me her late mother's veil and we used that to make boutonnieres for Jason and his father. I also had parts of the veil made into a hairpiece along with parts of my late grandmother's dress (who I also never got to meet) and parts of one of my mom's dresses. Three women who have had a major impact in my life. I also had a hairpin made from my grandmother's dress along with my mom's dress for her (my mother.) Michelle sent progress pictures and was incredibly communicative. From the first time speaking with her, you can tell she puts her heart into each and every piece she creates and takes care of these priceless pieces with so much respect. It would be hard to trust just anyone with items like this that are almost always irreplaceable and Michelle knows that. Her attention to detail is heart-warming. I found myself tearing up with each progress picture she would sent. She meticulously deconstructed the veil in such a way that you would think she was actually putting it together. She treats each piece with such care and puts it all together in a new way that can be passed down to future generations. Michelle is nothing short of talented - I have seen her turn a sock into a beautiful rose. If you are looking for a custom hairpiece, a boutonniere, a wreath or ornament - I would reach out to Michelle and FBB. We all have someone we love and as a sentimental person I couldn't be more ecstatic to have this hairpiece in my possession and something I can hopefully pass down to my daughter one day. Thank you Michelle for taking such great care in my pieces and for providing this unparalleled service to so many people.

rever, look no further, you will not be disappointed!

commend her services to anyone, whether it’s a beautiful wedding or a memorial to a loved one…as well as any other thoughtful creations you have in mind.

late aunt’s 1990s wedding dress and my late grandpa’s Elk’s Lodge shirt, along with my baby bonnet, to create the bouquet of my dreams. Michelle even created a corsage made from same fabric so I could surprise my mom which was so special. Michelle took the utmost care with my family fabric and kept me in the loop throughout the whole design process which made it even more special. I really struggled during my wedding planning without my aunt here, but michelle was able to create a beautiful bouquet that helped me feel even closer & like my aunt and grandpa were still here with me. 5 stars is not enough for how amazing Michelle is!!!

hold it on my wedding day and have a piece of my parents wedding day with me throughout it all :) I am so glad I went with this option, by the time I would have purchased a fresh flower bouquet from my florist, plus paying to preserve it afterwards, it’s totally worth it! Plus my sister can use it when she gets married and hopefully more of us for generations to come! Thanks Michelle!!

tions, my mothers wedding dress and head piece from her wedding, my late grandmothers blouse, and the button down shirt my now husband wore on our first date and created for me a one of a kind hair comb I got to wear on my wedding day and will get to keep now for a lifetime. She also created for me a beautiful corsage to gift to my mother on my wedding day with pieces of my dress, her dress, and my grandmothers blouse! My mom absolutely loved it and I love that we have these amazing keepsakes! Michelle created such beauty, I was blown away at what she put together for me, I couldn't even believe that the pieces where made out of all of these pieces of clothing! Truly incredible! Thank you so much for everything Michelle!

ring a wedding expo, I found Michelle! While I did order real flowers for table setting and arrangements for the bridal parties, I love that I will forever have my wedding bouquet and husband’s boutonnière to reminisce on our special day. Forever Brooch Bouquet wasn’t only the perfect option for us, but became one of the most memorable. We had to postpone our wedding twice due to Covid and, in the same year, my grandmother unfortunately passed away (not due to Covid, but peaceful). For that reason, these pieces mean so much more to us. I incorporated my grandmothers blouse to our pieces along with other items from the family. Without a doubt, we knew she was with us in spirit and I couldn’t have been happier. And now we’ll be able to treasure the bouquet and boutonnière for years to come. Whether it’s in remembrance of someone special or just to have a piece of your wedding forever, Michelle is your girl! Her talent is truly unique and incredible. To top it off, she’s as sweet as can be and works anything out (even while a pandemic is happening). She’s mindful of any budget you may have and sticks to it while filling your needs. She takes great care of any momentum you want to incorporate and will make anything work out. I now know who to go to anytime I need something special like this made. Thank you times a million Michelle❤️

ything was finalized! Everything turned out amazing! My bouquet is beautiful and goes so well with my rustic/boho fall theme. I will cherish my pieces forever, Michelle was able to make something so meaningful for my wedding out of my grandmothers wedding dress, bolero, jewelry and my fiancé’s grandmothers rodeo outfit! I have recommended her to so many people because her work is fabulous and always will.

d organize notes even making little drawings to get an idea of the vision I had in my head. She made great suggestions and always was thinking about the bigger picture helping me to really envision how great it would come out

ento: stunning hair clips, corsages and boutonnières. Losing a parent is incredibly challenging, but going through life milestones like weddings without a parent is especially difficult. Michelle provided us with a beautiful way to honor and remember our loved ones on our special day. The bouquet will be a traveling bouquet amongst my sisters! They are so excited to use this on their big day as well. Michelle is so talented, professional and genuine. She took the time to ease worries about using such meaningful pieces and kept me in the loop every step of the way! Thank you Michelle for creating our forever keepsakes.

utonnière for my parents as a surprise. The items she made are so beautiful and such amazing works of art! Beyond my expectations! Michelle was timely with her responses and always kept me in the loop as to her design ideas. I would recommend working with her to anyone!

ing special on my wedding date and I knew this was it! She was so helpful and detail oriented and had a vision with my pieces! I sent her my grandmothers blouse, sweater, pearl necklace and brooch for her to make a corsage for my mother so she would have a piece of her mother on my day. She communicated every bit of the way! As soon as she received, when she was starting, throughout the making, and when shipped. Whatever she doesn’t use for the piece she sends back to you. Michelle is truly talented, hand sews everything and cares so much about you and your sentimental pieces. Truly amazing. I would highly recommend 1000 times over.

phone meeting with me prior to beginning our professional relationship, just to make sure my expectations could be met with her work. From the very first moment, she was the definition of compassionate. She was empathetic and truly made me feel like I was her only project at the time. Her communication was fantastic and she even made time to add on last minute ornaments for me. I am truly so moved by her work and I cannot recommend her enough. If you are looking for a unique, subtle, one-of-a-kind piece of art to honor the life and legacy of your loved one, look no further than here. I urge you. Thank you so much, Michele. I will cherish these for the rest of my days.

onstantly up in the air and changing, has taken a toll. I know I am not alone, but sometimes it does feel very lonely. Lucky for me, I met Michelle last year when my fiancé and I were spontaneously part of a halloween photo shoot. Michelle created my headpiece for this day, and sometimes I find myself looking back on the photos and remaining in awe of her creation. Fast forward to 2020, I knew I wanted to incorporate my mom's wedding dress into my special day someway, somehow. There is no on else I would trust to care for a piece of my mom's dress, and create such a stunning piece that I can forever cherish. It may just be myself, and my fiancé on December 19th, (which is the most important part), but now I also have have this extremely special, handcrafted accessory. I felt so much joy the day I opened the package, saw my mom's dress turned into something so beautiful and read the handwritten note from Michelle. It truly means the world to me. Thank you.

onsultation to the drop off she was with me speaking to me and including me in everything she was doing. Not only does Michelle care about her work but she goes above and beyond for her clients. She is a true Angel. She even texted me on my wedding day to congratulate me! That’s how much she is involved with her clients. I got a couple of different pieces from Michelle. I got a custom head piece and garter, a hair comb for my sister, a boutonniere for my brother and a corsage for my mom. All made from my dads clothes and mother’s earrings so that my siblings and I will always have them. When Michelle hand delivered my pieces, we opened them together. Instant tears of joy for both her and I. I couldn’t thank Michelle more. Michelle thank you so much for being part of my day I cannot tell you how many people complimented my head piece. Everything came out wonderful. Thank you thank you. Please continue doing what you do. You bring so much joy and happiness. THANK YOU ❤️

ichelle incorporate ! ❤️

e looking for gorgeous florals for their wedding that will become a memento to treasure forever and hand down for generations.

made out of my mom’s dress and it’s so special to have all the pieces. Michelle takes so much care into every detail from taking the dress apart to building the new pieces. She messaged me throughout to make sure I loved the design. Cannot recommend Forever Brooch Bouquets enough!

nd story behind her company! I have a hard time appreciating flowers for the price they are, especially when it comes to a wedding and only having the flowers for a few hours but a huge price tag! I made an appointment to meet up with Michelle, to my benefit she was local to me, and it was if we had been friends forever! She shared stories of her family, her husband, their wedding, and her life. She showed great interest into my background, my husband, and our proposal! A meeting that was supposed to be 20-30 minutes lasted over an hour and we didn’t even realize! I had noooo idea what I wanted in my bouquet! Michelle made me feel very comfortable, explained the whole process, and made sure to comfortably keep me within my budget. I also gave her a piece of my husbands uniform, a pillow from my parent’s wedding, and a pair of my dads shorts to be part of the bouquet. After many messages back and forth and pictures sent along the way, my bouquet was finished even earlier than she had promised! We met one final time for me to pick it all up and she added the final touch of photos of my grandmother and father to my bouquet! I cried!!! She also made a boutonnière for my husband which had the special touch of his uniform, a bracelet for his mom which also had a flower from his uniform, and a bracelet for my mom which had a flower from the pillow she used at her wedding! Each piece was SOO UNIQUE and had its own special touch!! I am soo happy that I met Michelle! Her company is one of a kind, her story is soo special, and her work is INCREDIBLE! I still have my boutique on display in my dining room! My mother and mother in law also have a forever piece of jewelry with so much meaning!! I also want to mention that Michelle went out of her way to ensure my bouquet was safe to travel as I was shipping it to Italy! Yes, I got married in Italy!! The bouquet arrived safely without one flower out of place!! I then shipped it back to NY and used it for my wedding in NJ! I can go on and on!!! The experience, her work, Michelle herself...simply the BEST!!!

alism and genuine interest in my story and I knew I had found the way to honor my father at my wedding. While Michele may be creative and professional, her strength is that she works from her heart. The care in which she handled my father's clothes and crafted the most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen was nothing short of amazing - it was as though my family and story was as important to her as her own and for that, I am truly grateful. I can not think of a better way to honor someone than this -- and now I have a beautiful tribute to my father and my wedding that I can keep always! Thank you, Forever Brooch!

r me, a corsage for my mother and a boutonniere for my brother. Everything about the pieces, crafted by hand and personalized to match each of our styles. With such an emotional subject, Michelle was amazing in navigating the hard question and topics. She went over everything with grace and cried with me as I did. I truly cannot say again how amazing Michelle was during this whole experience. Thank you Forever Brooch Bouquets for giving me the best forever piece to hold my dad with me on my wedding day!

even begin?? I cannot say enough good things about Michelle! Aside from her incredible talent, she is so sweet and puts tremendous care and love into her work. She sent me pictures and updates along the way to ensure my bouquet came out exactly as I envisioned. She provided me with the most meaningful bouquet that will also serve as a beautiful keepsake after the wedding. I am forever grateful for Michelle!

e, she was able to make me one based off a design I found on Etsy and BOY did she deliver. It’s more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I am so so so thankful for the talent that’s right here in the Hudson Valley. Thank you so much for this beautiful piece— I can’t wait to wear it.
