Whenever I’m at a flea market or yard sale I find myself constantly drawn to the jars of buttons.  I think it’s the DIY slavedriver inside me that urges me to pick them up. Once they’re in my hands I just can’t put them down.  I spy about 10 in the lot that I must have.  Because I can’t leave my 10 buttons behind, I have to take the 190 others that are mingling with them. 

I assume I am not the only buttonholic in the world, so today’s post is for you,  fellow button lovers.  I gathered some button inspiration for anyone looking for a cute decor idea for weddings, showers, or partys.

I am a sucker for untraditional wedding bouquets, something most of you already know.  This button bouquet is no exception.  How adorabley different.  via SD Wedding Insider.  If you would like to try making your own, check out M&J Trimming for a button bouquet tutorial. 

If you have a button bouquet you need a button boutonniere to match, right?  Visit My DIY Wedding Day to see how to make each of these adorable bouts.

This button garland I found at  Two Brunettes is cute and quirky. 

I am really diggin’ this table runner.  Seems super easy to recreate and adds some unexpected charecter.  I also like the buttons simply sitting on the table, a great confetti alternative.  via Coordinately Yours

This button heart pillow would be a great addition to an outdoor reception.  There is a tutorial at Katie’s Nesting Spot.  You could make a heart, write your name or your initials.  You could line four up and spell LOVE.  No matter what you did, a  buttonized pillow would be a cute touch at any event.

This is similar to the pillow above because you could write or customize what you’d like.   via Ginger Tea
