How to Make a Winter Wedding Buttonhole/Boutonniere
***
Summer seems a distant memory now, Halloween’s been and gone, but we’re embracing the change in seasons with wrapping up that bit warmer, watching the golden leaves falling from the trees and finding pine cones on the ground. The pastel and bright colours from spring and summer weddings are making way for darker, richer tones.
We’re bringing those autumn/winter vibes with our DIY Wedding Buttonhole tutorial. Making use of pine cones to add a unique, seasonal twist to a traditional buttonhole/boutonniere. We’ve paired it with a sprig of eucalyptus and a thistle but whatever flowers/foliage you choose, the method will be exactly the same.
You will need:
- Thin floral wire
- Floral tape
- Flowers/Foliage/Pine Cones
- Twine
- Scissors
Tip – If you’re using fresh flowers, we would advise you make the buttonholes as close to the time that you need them as possible to avoid any chance of wilting (i.e. wedding morning rather than the night before).
Having a go? Tag us in your photos over on Instagram here, we’d love to see what you come up with! Any questions, leave them in the comments and we’ll do our best to help.
