Amy at Button Empire , an Etsy shop based in Alberta has a thing for love: “Basically, I love love. It’s a delight to be included in the sacred days when couples come together and jump the broom,” she wrote to The Wedding Co.

When we came across Button Empire’s “I’d rather be Smooching” and “Nerdy Fiancé/Fiancée” button sets a few weeks back we were instantly smitten; Amy’s current fave is this, perfect for the gal who loves her phone.

Though they may seem simple, it’s amazing just how personal a set of customized buttons can be. When we asked Amy if she’d done favours for weddings her answer was a resounding “yes” but here’s the nitty gritty if you’re wondering: “We’ve done custom orders based on wedding colours, the couple’s general vibe, their love of nature, or their love of words. We once did a huge set of 245 buttons made with a really nice old dictionary.We pulled all the words to do with love and it made an amazing set that they used at their reception as favours for all the guests. We also search out the neatest of vintage papers and collage little sets for brides and grooms with pictures that resemble them. Oh yeah, we also do buttons for the gay and lesbian brides and grooms. We’ve made several same sex couples custom sets (bride and bride picture type buttons) for their special day as well.”

Prices vary depending on number, materials and (I presume) anything that’s obscure to source but from $5 for a pair to $85 for 100, the button is definitely a budget-worthy find!
