I’ve been thinking lately of not going with the traditional petal toss for the flower girl. Instead, I want to make her something that she can keep after the wedding. I’ve been inspired by the picture below.(see link for DIY instructions)

I love this ball of buttons - it’s so playful and appropriate for Christmas. Hang this under the doorway in lieu of a mistletoe. Although buttons are very creative, I’ll probably stick to silk flowers. I’m still tossing around the idea of using real flowers but real flowers won’t last. Silk flowers are always an option. They make it look so real nowadays! On second thought, I’d really like to make a ball of buttons with my wedding colors (brown, green, white & pink). If not for the flower girl, then maybe as a decoration. Would you think it’d be too weird to see a ball of buttons at a wedding?
This will be my last post before the New Year. Mr. Violet and I are off to Japan for the holidays! We’ll be staying with my sister whom I haven’t seen in 4 months!

Happy Holidays to all!
