Brides looking for a way to truly stand out on their wedding day have found their match with one of Asheville's unique florists. Celia Barbieri has turned a life-long love affair with buttons into an art and business as the Button Florist.

Button Creations Perfect for Brides

Her masterpieces include bridal bouquets, jewelry and centerpieces—items perfect for adding flair to your wedding.

And her creations are eco-friendly as well, because she finds new life for old buttons through her creations. Celia scours thrift stores, Ebay and yard sales for buttons to use in her work. She also creates her own ceramic buttons to incorporate into arrangements. Each ceramic button is a work of art that is hand-stamped, hand-dyed and signed by Celia.
