Brooch Bouquet Stems - Easy & Ready-to-pin for DIY Bouquets (12 stems)

I initially ordered 1 box based on the reviews and was apprehensive. When I tell you that 1 box was not enough. These brooch stems are absolutely perfect for brooches with a pin back. They are not made or intended for brooches with a button back. They worked extremely well with my large brooches. I did notice my extra large brooches would lean slightly however I am using them with silk flowers and with the flowers you can't tell. I reordered 6 more boxes as I will be placing brooches in my bridal parties bouquets along with in my toss bouquets. And to the ones that stated they don't cut well that is not true is you use sharp wire cutters. Last thing, this is the only vendor that makes and sells them. I did my research. So make sure you order enough and don't make the mistake I did and only ordering 1 and they go out of stock. I am so excited and greatful these are back in stock!

These do not really work as advertised, nor as the other reviews stated. I am making a bouquet out of entirely brooches and other jewelry using a silk hydrangea base, but maybe this would work a bit better if you were only inserting a few small brooches into a real flower bouquet?The stems are REALLY stiff and the silicone "flower" tops are REALLY flexible. TOO flexible. They hardly hold up the brooches, and except for the tiniest brooches, they look like they are melting off of the stem. Also, the white is REALLY obvious under/through the brooches, so I had to spray paint them with metallic spray paint, but the spray paint doesn't stick well to the silicone. I ended up using hot glue to glue the flowers flat onto the brooch backs after pinning the brooches onto the stems as intended for the product. I got these specifically so that I *wouldn't* have to glue or permanently wire them and damage the brooches, but hopefully the hot glue won't cause any damage.

This is my second order of this clever invention. What a great way to keep brooches in tact in a bouquet. You can use them for many or even just one for an accent in each wedding party bouquet. I use higher quality brooches and don't want to ruin them by wiring them into the bouquet. This also allows me to easily place these at varying depths and position to complement the bouquet more. I love the fact my bride can take them off the bouquet and wear them for lasting memories and use. One bride took her favorite off after the wedding and gifted them to her bridal party and Moms so they have a forever piece of the special day. This invention changes the industry for brooch bouquets and produces a professional stunning effect.

Originally I was going to hot glue some skewers to the back of the brooches for my bouquet but I was worried about how that would work out. I stumbled across these by accident (despite me looking at page after page of brooches these were never included as a "customers also bought" item). The rubber at the top is very flexible so the little flower fit well under each of the brooches I used. The clasps didn't always stay closed but they were easily refasted even once the bouquet stem was already stuck in the bouquet. These saved me a huge headache.

I purchased four packs of the brooch bouquet stems containing 12 stems per pack for a total of 48.I was looking for the easiest way possible to make my bridesmaids brooch bouquets for my wedding.I will say the item arrived quickly. They were ordered on Saturday afternoon and arrived on Monday afternoon with Amazon Prime but that is the end of any positive review for this item.1. They are LONG and would only work for bigger bouquets. As my bouquets will be smaller I tried to cut the these stems to size and ruined the them.2. The instruction call for additional material to pin the brooches to the stem which are NOT included. The instructions are confusing at best. I purchased brooches at a craft store that do not have a clasp or pin so I have no clue how to fasten them on the stem. I eventually used a hot glue gun out of desperation and ruined the brooches.3. These stems only work for smaller brooches. Large brooches do NOT fit in the stem bud and while medium brooches fit on the bud, they are too flimsy to hold the weight.I am unbelievably disappointed and frustrated with this purchase.BUYER BEWARE :(

Some of the brooches tend to slide around, but all around this was perfect! A few of them ended up slipping throughout the day, but by the time we took pictures we were married and I really didn't notice or care at that point.

One of the most clever inventions ever! I REALLY wanted to be able to incorporate my heirloom broaches into my bridal bouquet and this product made it so easy and made for a stunning display! I was even able to use my husband's Royal Navy crest cap badge as well! You can adjust the height of the pinholes depending on the type of broach/pin you are using. I highly recommend this product to any bride wanting to create a beautiful and memorable bouquet!

These are just the most delightful devices to use for a brochure bouquet. They take less then a minute to affix a broach and the stem allows great flexability in getting the broach to set just right. The seller was gracious and used perfect packaging. Anyone attempting to make one of these beautiful bouquets should consider using these quality stems. I know the bouquet I make will become a family heirloom that I hope will be used many times, for that reason I wanted to use these high quality stems.
