    Yep, full length will be 19cm, you don't want it too big because being buttons it will get heavy if too big!

    The more I'm looking at these.... the more I want one!! :D

  • The first one you posted is lovely :) And I think the price is about right, quite cheap even considering what it is. I made my own felt and button bouquet with loads of embroidery, beadwork, sparkly bits and all sorts on it and the materials cost about £70 all in so to have one made for £100 is very reasonable.

    And like you said, you can keep it forever and display it in a vase around the house after the wedding as a lovely keepsake :)

    I have shown these to my mum & sister, who both also loved them, and thought they were very 'me'.... i.e. different!!

    My sister's first thought was 'Why don't you make one?'
    So after much debating, I'm going to have a go & she is going to help.

    My mum owned a florist years ago when I was at uni, my sister used to work there & it was always us (sister & me) who did all of the wedding orders, while mum did the funeral stuff.

    I've scoured those sellers feedback & found loads of items that they use... bit naughty, but hey ho! If anyone wants the details pm me!
    So, have ordered some of the bits to have a go! Quite excited really! :D
