buttons & centerpieces

Like many future brides, I have changed my mind a lot. For centerpieces, I want to keep it simple, pretty, and different. I love Mason Jars but they seem to be everywhere right now. I love how Jordyn and Bradley at Once Wed did their centerpieces. Their entire wedding is just beautiful. The brightly colored buttons in Mason Jars is really my favorite part.

feathery 2009 ideas

It is officially our wedding year!  I feel like I've been neglecting this whole wedding-planning thing because of the holidays, but I plan to get on it very soon.  I have a lot of ideas brewing and have received a very helpful book for Christmas.  (Thanks Mallory!!)

I really want to make boutonnieres for the groomsmen, but with feathers and such instead of flowers.  As much as I LOVE flowers, I want to make something that will last and the guys will be able to use again... if ever they have an occasion to do so.  I borrowed the image above from a $10,000 wedding.  I think it is cute take on boutonnieres and of course I love the button!  We'll see what the groom thinks of it...

Basically, I just love feathers.  I really like this yellow one, which actually isn't a boutonniere at all.  It is for you hair!  So... that might be something else to consider.  More ideas coming soon!  Stay tuned!
