At our wedding, everyone invited to the day had a buttonhole.

The men in the wedding party had more fancy ones (husband had a double ivory one) and the main women (female witness, my Mum, husbands Mum, my 2 Nans and husbands Nan) all had lovely pink and ivory double buttonholes.

Certainly. Obviously i should've turned the light on before i took this pic! Also, I've made another now with three leaves, the extra one is yellow. I've changed my bouquet now too, i've spent ages replacing every cream flower with a yellow one and it looks much better. I've only got to make a couple more before i can bind it together and add the ribbon to the handle, how exciting is that?!!!

Oooh I like it, you say yours looks like a rabbit.. Mine look like little pigs! OH has suggested wearing them with the 'ears' pointing down or to the side, so will have to see.

My bouquet is now 95% complete, just needs the 'handle' wrapping, can't decide on regular ribbon or hessian/jute tape.

I know what you mean! Also, i know i'll keep tweaking it! alright now while it's not finished, but once it is i need to put it away because i don't want to over do it!

My buddy ask if she could get involved the other day, so we're going to have a craft evening next weekend, i'm taking round all my stuff and we'll sit and natter and cut out felt and stuff. Exciting!
