Buttonhole Inspiration

Wedding etiquette states that the groom, the best man, ushers, fathers of the bride and groom should wear a buttonhole as well as other important members of the wedding party such as grandparents and paige boys.

The choice is endless when deciding what flowers to use for buttonholes:

• Co-ordinating the flowers with the general theme of your wedding
• Complementing the colours used in your wedding
• Flowers that the groom likes
• Flowers that are in season and easily available or inexpensive
• Herbs such as lavender or even vegetable leaves/blossoms!
• Inclusion of feathers, lace, ribbons...
• Button buttonholes are all the rage too!

Wedding Style Guide searched their archives from Real Weddings to find images of the finest buttonhole inspiration.

Wedding Day Jewelry

Sponsored Blog

Selecting your wedding day jewelry is just as important as choosing which dress you’ll wear. Depending on the neckline of your dress, you can choose a necklace (most brides prefer diamond or pearl), that complements your look. If the neckline is higher or already has some ornate detailing like beading or lace, you may want to focus on other jewelry pieces so you don’t take away from the beauty of the dress. Adding a diamond bracelet or pair of earrings is an easy way to compromise.

When it comes to choosing a Tennis Bracelet for your special day, try visiting Anjolee.com, the leading manufacturer of fine jewelry with the largest collection of Diamond Tennis Bracelet designs to complete your wedding day look.
