Hi there, I’m Aiveen and I am the owner and
chief button bouquet builder at Bee and Blue Designs.
I live in Dublin, Ireland
and I sell online, on Etsy and via my website www.beeandblue.com .
I like to call my bouquets ‘happy décor’ because that is the aim of my makes;
to brighten up workspaces or windowsills with colourful happy button bouquets.
I have always had a love of buttons and I have collected buttons since I was a
child. After my children were born and my free time and social life took a hit,
I found myself looking for something I could do at home that would keep my mind
and my hands busy, especially in the evenings when all I seemed to do was watch TV.
Bee and Blue was born when my button collection was growing at such a pace that
I had to do something! With the help of my carpenter brother in law, I designed
a tiny ‘studio’ in a
bare alcove in my sitting room where I now sit most evenings to create the most
colourful bouquets I can!
The appeal of button bouquets is different for
everyone. I have sold bouquets for weddings, flower girls, for mother’s day
gifts, for grandmothers, for allergy sufferers, for births and graves; happy
and sad occasions.
One client referred to them as forever flowers and I love
that idea. There is also a tactile element to button flowers. I love their
chunky feel and the clicky sound they make. While I
make custom bouquets in single colours, my best selling bouquets are the
multi-coloured rainbow bunches.
On my website
I also sell felt ball garlands and mini button bunting, both of which I love to
pair with button bouquets to decorate everywhere from my car to my desk! I
don’t reserve rainbow décor for my nursery!
