I started looking at cake toppers and had the idea to make our own using the laser cutter and wood. I'm planning to do this with some other items here and there, like the placards and maybe some accents for table decorations...
This is a family of quail, obviously. What I'm thinking of doing is something like this of a silhouette from one of our engagement photos of the two of us, and leaving it wood colored.
I've also been collecting buttons in the colors for our wedding, to use for centerpieces, placards, corsages bouquets. I've had the idea for a while of incorporating a few buttons into the floral pieces where the flowers all come together, as a cute accent to add color and interest. I don't really have any picture examples of this though. I looked online to see if anyone's done this, and it looks like the only examples I can find are of people who did entire wedding bouquets completely out of buttons instead of flowers. I only want them there as an accent.
Actually, found one example sort of. Replace the whispy dried pieces with flowers:
I happened upon this wedding section on etsy that displayed photos of a Southern themed wedding, where the bride also collected buttons. She had a friend sew them into her hair, and I'm thinking this might be really cute for my hairstyle as well. I'm not doing an updo, but this sort of thing could easily be done with the side or sides of my hair... and maybe adding some extra fabric detailing of some sort. I'm getting some extra fabric from my dressmaker for the floral and for hairdos for me and the bridesmaids, so we'll have good colors to work with!
