Craspedia are yellow round ball shaped flowers also known as billy buttons

Have you come across these yellow pompom flowers on Pinterest and completely fallen in love with them? If you have, then I’m with you fellow craspedia lover. These are the perfect flowers to add pops of mustard yellow into your wedding flowers, without being too overpowering. To get the most from craspedia here are 4 ways you can use them in your wedding flowers.

1. Favours

For all over impact in your wedding venue, it’s a great idea to spread your flowers out. Adding delicate craspedia favours to your guests’ place setting gives them something to take home to remind them of the day. Craspedia are great flowers for drying because they retain their bright yellow colour, so this type of wedding favour will have longevity too.

2. Wedding Bouquet

You might not be wearing lots of colour on your wedding day so your wedding bouquet is a great way to incorporate your wedding colours into your look. If you’re inspired to have a more whimsical, meadow gathered bouquet, then craspedia are small and delicate enough to add to the wild and natural look. They’re also an amazing flower to use alongside a broad colour palette, as you can see below in this Cinco de Mayo inspired wedding bouquet that also includes handmade pompoms.

3. Buttonholes

As your groom and bestman will undoubtedly get hugged a lot from all of the family members, it’s always good to have a robust buttonhole. Craspedia are among the greatest contenders for this role because they’re pretty unsquashable. They’re also a great colour against any teal or navy blue suits and work wonders alongside a mustard or grey tie.
