My own bridal button bouquet!

Posted on January 29, 2012 by vintagebridetobe

As you all know, the reason Cute as a Button got started in the first place is because I saw a button bouquet on the internet and fell in love with it. I decided , to save money, that I would attempt to make my own and the rest is history!

Im glad I had a chance to make other bouquets first. Its given me a chance to perfect my technique and find out what style I wanted for my bouquet. I’ve gone with a 100 stem teardrop bouquet. The teardrop is slightly different to teardrops I’ve done on other bouquets, but I really like it. Its not quite finished I’d like to add! I need to finish the collar and handle but at this present moment I’m not quite sure how I want it.

 

Every single button in my bouquet was either given to me by friends, friends relatives, relatives of ours, found in antique shops or car boot sales which makes it so more special to me.

We’re going to use it as our table centre piece at the reception.

About vintagebridetobe

On the 12th May 2012, I shall be marrying my best friend. We first met in 2006 when a mutual friend introduced us at a gig. We then met again at a gig at Concorde 2 in Brighton in 2008 through the same friend. Personal circumstances for both of us were very different than the first time we met and we became very good friends. After months and months of messages on Facebook, text messages and gigs, we finally got together at Download 2008 where James' band, Brigade were playing. I moved to Suffolk from Brighton a few months later and we've lived together ever since. He proposed on Xmas Day morning 2010 in we're now in full swing wedding planning! I love anything vintage, rockabilly, retro, rock n roll and tattoos. I've been studying criminology and psychology and work full time in the local village. I'm taking a break from studying at present and just enjoying being me to be honest! I'm loving making stuff and maybe one day I can make a bit of money from being creative!
