Are you ready to add the finishing touch to your wedding day ensemble with a stylish boutonniere? Whether you're going for a traditional look or want something unique and personalized, we've got you covered with our dos and don'ts guide to ensure your boutonniere game is on point.

Do:

  • Incorporate Floral Pocket Squares: Elevate your look with a matching floral pocket square that complements your boutonniere for a cohesive and polished appearance.
  • Get Creative with Meaningful Ideas: Think outside the box and incorporate elements that hold significance to you and your partner. Consider using golf tees for a golf course wedding or sea shells for a beach-themed celebration.
  • Keep It Small: Opt for petite boutonnieres that add a touch of charm without overwhelming your lapel or risking discomfort throughout the day.

Don't:

  • Choose Oversized Boutonnieres: Avoid large, bulky boutonnieres that could poke you or your groomsmen in the face. If you do opt for a larger design, pin it lower on the lapel to prevent any mishaps.
  • Use Large Stem Flowers: Stick to small, durable flowers that can withstand the wear and tear of the day without wilting or getting damaged.
  • Forget About Longevity: Ensure that the flowers used in your boutonniere can last out of water and withstand plenty of hugs without looking wilted or tired.

Whether you opt for a classic boutonniere with flowers or decide to incorporate unconventional elements, make sure it's a choice that resonates with you.
