Thrifty bride-to-be makes her own buttonholes for just £2 each by using IKEA flowers
A THRIFTY bride has revealed how she saved money making her own button holes for just £2 using faux flowers from Ikea.
Taking to the Facebook page , run by money saving mum Holly Smith, she shared a snap of the chic floral arrangements.
She had selected a white peony and eucalyptus from the Swedish fake flower range to craft the button holes, and already owned flower tape, making her craft project especially cheap.
Captioning her post she wrote: “So I'm getting married on 29th February 2020, and I was looking for button holes.
“Also wanted to keep the costs down with Christmas around the corner, I decided to make my own.
“Flower tape I already had and flowers from Ikea at £1 each so each button hole has cost me £2 to make.”

“And they can be kept forever...lovely” agreed another.
While a third wrote: “They are so pretty. Have the most amazing day.”
The bride later thanked everyone for their kind comments, adding: “Picked up the idea because on a budget and can’t justify paying someone else to do something as simple as this.
