Buttonholes/Corsages, whats the deal?

I was fretting about logistics of getting them to everyone so decided to forgo the flowers. I have a bunch of feathers left over that i was gong to use on cards and so will be doing them with feathers, crystal and ribbon. that is for main wedding party. for guests, i might do paper flowers with the feather and ribbon (will have more than enough to do these. just depends in time) works out to about £35 for the lot (about 100) including what i paid for the feathers.

if you want something simple, they are dead easy to make. I had a few goes at knocking some up using a cheap bunch of flowers from supermarket. 20 blooms plus all teh wire and tape and pins cost me about £15 but i bought surplus wire cos i wanted a few practices so would prob be cheaper.

I am not sure if i am having a bouquet or not but if i am, i will be making h2b a buttonhole using a flower from my bouquet as that is traditional but i am trying to avoid having flowers if poss. may just do a simple carnation bouquet and just 'add' a carnation to the feather/crytals bh i am making anyway. only prob then is how to get it to h2b on teh morning. lol
