DIY Cufflinks...

Maybe Tiffany should consider carrying this... :)

So the theme for my wedding was black and white and a splash of red. I would have totally have had a black and white wedding, but I don't think my mother would have been very happy with that decision. As it was, she and my mother-in-law were not happy with the fact that the bridesmaids dresses were black. Oh well.

As my splash of red accents throughout the wedding, I thought that I would incorporate little red buttons. The reasons for the red buttons are twofold:

a) Luke and I used to have a "tradition" of giving each other cards by John Sands. In particular Elliot and Buttons. Adorable.
b) there was a surplus of red buttons in my house which I used for a previous project
c) oh, and there is a third. I remembered that my previous project was my engagement party invitations! (which by the way was more work than my wedding invitations).

So, for the men, I decided to make little red button cufflinks... and the girls would wear red button hairpins and red button earrings.

It was as simple as buying the cufflink backs and supergluing the red buttons on.

Cufflinks... doneski. They also doubled up as a lovely gifts of the groomsmen.

Immensely pleased...
