Wedding Buttonholes

I’m not sure if you know that I have a little obsession with buttonholes. Yes I have written about it before on LMW (buttonholes fit for a wedding), but I wanted to do an updated post with these photos as they’re really crisp and clear (just like a groom’s buttonhole should be). BTW all of these gorgeous wedding buttonholes were created by Planet Flowers and photographed by Rankine Photography. (1) Rose; (2) Eryngium; (3) Phalaenopsis Orchid (4) Rose + Lily of the Valley + Stephanotis; (5) Rose; (6) Eryngium + White Heather (7) Cymbidium Orchid; (8) Rose + mixed berries;…

Little did I know that hubbie had ordered it, in silver, and it arrived the day before my best friend’s wedding (when I was the bridesmaid).

Vintage Twee – gorgeous handmade vintage favours

Alice in Wonderland Party Picks

One of my aims when I started blogging was to use LMW as a place to showcase really good british wedding suppliers (something I struggled to find when planning mine).

I also want to feature people within the UK industry that are doing something cool, or stylish or a little bit unique. It is finding these suppliers and sharing them with you that makes me tick, and Vintage Twee is one of them! * Pillow Talk Romantic Favour Boxes – £2.25…
