Buttonhole (Boutonniere) Ideas





Boutonnieres http://flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=911210029&size=s A boutonniere (also known as a buttonhole) is the male equivalent of the corsage worn by a woman.

The boutonniere is usually a selection of one or two small flowers on their own or with a bit of fern, greenery or baby’s breath.

It is worn mostly for formal occasions such as a wedding or prom.

The boutonniere is always pinned to the left lapel of the suit or tuxedo.

The groom, best man, groomsmen (ushers) fathers of the bride and the groom wear boutonnieres.

If the bride has someone else escorting her down the aisle, he should also wear a boutonniere. If a woman escorts the bride she should wear a corsage.

You can make the groom’s boutonniere stand out from the rest of the boutonnieres, by selecting a different color for him.

If you prefer the groom and his attendants to wear the same color flower, request that the groom's be made with a double flower.

The boutonniere is one of the simplest floral arrangements to make.

If you are trying to save money at a wedding you could make them yourself here are some instructions.

The colors of the boutonniere should match the general color theme of the wedding. Traditionally the brides family orders the boutonnieres and has them ready for the groomsmen.


Tip

If the groom or any of his attendants have severe allergies to flowers consider using a silk boutonniere.

Wedding Tip
#2

If you are on a tight budget use lots of greenery.

Greenery is inexpenvise and will make a great filler and you will use less flowers.  

Try using potted plants and shrubs such a ficus trees which can be rented.  

You may even have your own fake trees at home, or you could borrow from friends and family.  

These will look charming when lit with tiny lights.
