ta da!

All the wire twisting and sore fingers seems more than worth it now, as my button bouquets are now finished and I'm so pleased with them. The shapes of them actually remind me of broccoli and cauliflower:


I have made three in total. The ones for my bridesmaids are slightly smaller than my own one. I thought they might end up being quite heavy but they're not actually.
My bouquet being slightly bigger and containing more buttons is a bit weighty. I won't being throwing it at the wedding though - aside from wanting it for a keepsake, I'd be likely to take someone out with it if I did throw it!

Only 5 days to go now. Still lots to do though...

Wow. They are stunning and you are doing an amazing job. So so lovely. I can wait to see the pics of your dress and day. Make sure you are looking after yourself in amougst all of your creating and wedding preping. You need to make sure you are relaxed and ready to take it all in on the day. Again so very very clever.

Ahhh sigh .......... just beautifully made and quirky. You are very clever and your Wedding will be remembered and spoken of forever by all your guests. Enjoy the lead up to your big day, and I second the looking after yourself bit. Enjoy all these days are a big part of the event.

Take care x
