For instance a black morning suit with a burgundy cravat could be complemented by a burgundy boutonniere made from a tulip, calla lily or rose. Alternatively, you could arrange for buttonholes to be made that mirror the flowers in the bride's bouquet. For guys who 'don't like flowers' you can tone things down by using smaller blooms or substituting them with thistle, or foliage or even herbs such as rosemary. How to Wear Your Wedding Boutonnieres The boutonniere should be worn on the outside of the buttonhole of the left lapel, and not in it. It is common to secure it in place by using a pearl-headed pin from the back of the lapel. The pin will then be invisible from the front. If you have a gold or decorative pin you may want to show it off and then you could pin the boutonniere from the front. Is it Wedding Buttonholes or Wedding Boutonnieres? Wedding boutonnieres is the common term used in the US for a gentleman's flower or flowers worn on the lapel. In the UK the term wedding buttonholes is more common. UK florists regard a buttonhole as being based around a single dominant flower, whereas a boutonniere is a group of small flowers such as stephanotis. |
