Easy to Make Boutonnieres
A boutonnière
will
take on
endless well intentioned abuse on a wedding day. The delicate
stephanotis and miniature cream rose button holes will look spectacular
at first, it will quickly wilt after the countless hugs from your
guests. You should select a hardy flower that will not droop easily.
A great alternative to the fresh flower boutonnières is to go
for silk or dried flowers such as lavender in spring, or berries for a
winter wedding. Instead of wrapping the flower in floral tape, consider
using ribbon or an elegant piece of fabric.
Boutonnière flowers are usually selected from the flowers in the
bride’s bouquet.
