Wedding Boutonnieres

Pink Calla Lily Bear

It might seem like a minor detail, but the bloom for your Groom is very important. This small but, VIP player in the wedding will be seen in the majority of photos and will also continue to carry out the overall look and feel of the wedding.Consider these factors when selecting wedding boutonnieres:

• Make IT Last

1. If you are getting married during the hot summer months, the flower selected needs to hold up to the summer heat. Ask your wedding florist for blooms that will not wilt
2. You might want to order an extra boutonniere for your Groom, so it will look fresh in all of the pictures, because it needs to stand up threw all of the hugs

• Be Daring 

     Break the tradition and select wedding boutonnieres that are non floral ; berries, beer hops,
     computer chips, wire,small branches, buttons

• Be Cost Effective

1. Contain your list of boutonnieres to key players, best man, groomsmen, FOB(father of the bride),FOG (father of the groom), grandfathers, ring bearer or brothers of the bride or groom
2. Draw the line unless someone is performing a specific role(readings, poem, etc)

• Be Romantic

1. The groom often wears a flower found in your bouquet
2. Present your groom's boutonniere to him and pin it on for him as a surprise (and a great photo opt)

Boutonnieres are generally worn on the left of the lapel. While they may seem like a minor detail, just remember, details will make it  your wedding.
