    I actually didn't think I'd have a flower to be obsessed with, as I'm not a huge flower person.

    BUT, I'm SO addicted to billy buttons! 

    I am seriously trying to incorporate them into every aspect of our wedding, because they're just that amazing. As a matter of fact, if anyone knows where I can score some cute billy button-style invitations, you'd be my hero forever.

    What flower are you obsessed with?

    Yes, they are too cute!  I think they look great with turquoise/aqua.

    omg you're not the only one obsessed with them.  I've been in love with them from the first time I saw them on an inspiration board on SMP and knew I would have to use them.  They're so fun.

    use the Alchamy feature on Etsy to see if you can get someone to design invitations for you.

    I also found this STD.  http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3499/3776225646_1160a57c85.jpg

    Billy buttons totally earn their name. They're so cute! They could be the official flower of Whoville!

    Heirloom roses are another favorite. Irises are my all-time fav (I loooove their color and shape!), and more recently I've fallen in love with wildflowers of all kinds. Especially cosmos, which fall under the Billy Button category of cheery cuteness.

    @ Amanda - I googled image searched invitation billy balls and that was one of the things that came up.  It looks like it's the flickr photostream of a invitation designer.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/33237007@N02/

    Love those billy buttons!  I know this is kind of cheating, but I'm really obsessing with yarn pom-pom flowers right now.  I got the tutorial from Domestifluff and I'm loving making them and figuring out how to use them.  In terms of real, live flowers, I'm totally loving some old-school mums.  And billy buttons!!

    Those are so, so cheery and playful! That beign said, is it weird that I want to eat them cause they look like some kind of weird candy?
