    The buttonholes are great, what are the leaves? I've never heard of bouquet collars before, they add a really nice touch

    The leaves are variegated ficus and I used 3 on each one. They were actually hard to work with using 3 leaves because it was difficult getting all the leaves in position and getting them to sit the way they should. In retrospect, I wish I'd just used ivy or fern for the leaves; then it would have been so much easier cause I could have just used one leaf. You'd get a similar effect with one variegated ivy leaf, but H2B liked the ficus ones better.
