If you've never seen one, the concept of a brooch bouquet may seem fascinating but unconventional. Once you've laid eyes on their enduring elegance, if you're like us, you will instantly see the allure. There is something so enchanting in their design, something that feels everlasting, magical even. When it comes to vintage adornments in harmonious balance, no one does it better than The Ritzy Rose.
We've been huge fans of The Ritzy Rose for a long time, so we simply could not wait to do a Pro Spotlight feature on this unique company! Their signature item is the brooch bouquet, a dazzling arrangement of enamel flowers, vintage brooches and sparkling rhinestones. The details and layered textures are a visual feast. They are simultaneously a fashion statement and timeless heirloom to pass on for generations.
The Ritzy Rose is a labor of love for Jen and Jason Diehl, a sweet married couple who also happen to be expecting a little baby Diehl to join the family very shortly:) We connected online about a year ago and ever since, have been enamored with their custom-designed brooch bouquets and other handcrafted goodness.
From Jen & Jason
"The Ritzy Rose is your one stop shop for inspiring accessories for weddings, prom or a ritzy night out. Beginning in 2010 The Ritzy Rose was launched with inspiration from owners Jen and Jason’s own wedding. Brooch Bouquets drove them into one of the top wedding trends culminating in creating country star Miranda Lambert’s."
