My partner and I attend Baltimore Comic-Con each year. We look forward to it each autumn because what adult doesn't want to prance around in a super hero costume for a day? It's quirky, a bit geeky, but most of all FUN! Everyone we meet at the convention is nice and genuinely interested in the same things as us. It's a day to step out of reality and be a kid again (not that we aren't big kids every day). We knew we wanted to have something comic-y on our wedding day so we went with the boutonnieres.
Each of the guys will have a different Avenger on their boutonniere. Now I can't wait for our wedding day to come so we can finally unleash all of our hard work. Our day will kick ass. Wham! Pow! I do.
This is adorable! And then you could totally use those little guys as Christmas ornaments or something similar after the wedding.
I LOVE the Christmas ornament idea. Thanks! Maybe we can do a comic themed tree next year.
…and then submit pictures to Offbeat Home & Life!
I really like the silver/white fabric flowers! Can you please share how you made them or where you found them?
Hi Allison! I got the flower pieces from Hobby Lobby. I just found our wedding colors (navy blue and silver), arranged them how I wanted, twisted the stems together, and wrapped with floral tape. Super easy and cheap!
The little comic guys are called squinkies. You can get them in the toy section at Target. I just super glued them on.
Hope this helps. Good luck! 🙂
I absolutly love this! Ive been looking for a way to geek up my flowers!
We are running a Thor and Jane mini theme at the wedding complete with plushies. I love your geek flower idea I think its awesome. Where did you get your little avengers guys at? I wanna include the wedding party in on our Jane and Thor thing.
The little avengers are a squishy toy called Squinkies. I got them from Target but I see they are also at Toys R Us and Amazon! They have a collection of them that’s specifically Avengers.
