vintage-brooch-bouquet-nashville-wedding-parents

My vintage brooch bouquet would not be complete without a few pieces from my parents.

My mom gave me this lovely pearl earring and pin set. I LOVE how simply glamorous they are. :) She is one classy lady.

The other three pieces are from my father who is a Shriner through the Masonic Lodge. The Masonic fez pin (center) was actually my grandfather’s. (My dad’s dad.) He was also a Mason. Unfortunately he passed before my time, but I’ve been told many stories about how incredible of a man he was. I’m excited to have this keepsake as a part of my bouquet. The other two Masonic pins commemorate two different Potentates of the Illinois Masonic Lodge – Richard Swaney and Steve Kibler. Want to learn more about freemasonry? Click here.
