    I fell in love with the idea of button bouquets and this is the sample one I purchased here (through etsy seller reallybadkitty- who is awesome by the way!) My colors are black, ivory and purple, so the ribbon around the 'stems' is black:

    For some reason the one picture turned yellow, but the color is like the one on the left!!  And I love this bouquet- it is really cure and fun and will be an awesome keepsake- this is actually the bridesmaid size, the bride one is like twice this size!  The toss bouquet however will be felt with buttons on it (so as not to hurt anyone by throwing a bouquet of buttons at them...) and Brenda (of RBK) sent me a pic as an update of my order to see the toss bouquet... And I completely fell in love with that style!  SO here is the pic of the toss bouquet, except mine will have the black ribbon wrapped around the handle "stems".  :

    So I need help!!  Any opinions would be more than welcome as I need some direction here!  Thank you in advance =)

    Second one! I think I like the variety and it looks fuller, even though it has fewer 'stems'

    The second one!  It is much fuller and looks more like a "bouquet"

    I love the felt one, but can you just use both?  It'd be sad for that awesome button bouquet to go to waste.

    I definitely love the felted bouquet - maybe you could use the button bouquet on display somewhere though, it's super cute too!

    @bridalbabe- where did you order the felt bouquet from and what is the price range for something like that?

    @Jacqi- I found them on etsy.com, the seller reallybadkitty; the prices are so much cheaper than fresh flowers!!  I don't have the official breakdown as she did a package deal thing for me, but it was less than $600 for a total of 6 bouquets, 18 boutonniers (we have lots of extras to honor different family members!), 10 corsages, 1 ring pillow, 1 pomander ball, and 25 felt flower magnets (we r using on table number cards)

    She does a discount on large orders, and that helped even more!  I would def. recommend her to anyone who likes this type of bouquet- its actually a mother/daughter team in TX and they are both Super helpful!!   If you would like any other info, just let me know- these are one of my favorite things so far for my wedding!!
