Alternative buttonhole ideas: Mushrooms, bird skulls, and other unique boutonnières

As y'all know, we're always on the look-out for alternative buttonhole ideas for your wedding. I mean sure, we love a rose boutonnière as much as anybody else, but we think there's just so many more ideas — whether it's LEGO minifigs for your geeky wedding, autumn leaves for your fall wedding, or even this concept: the mushroom boutonnière.

(Also, wait can we talk about the difference between a buttonhole and a boutonnière? Most notably: there is no difference. They're totally the same thing. Buttonhole is just easier to spell!)

This alternative buttonhole from Twisted Bramble from the Offbeat Bride Vendor Guide would be so perfect for a rustic fall wedding — mushroom season in the northern hemisphere is generally in October and November, and we feel like this boutonnière would be such a great idea for a moody autumn wedding.

But if a mushroom boutonnière isn't a fit with your aesthetic, let's try some other alternative buttonhole ideas…
