Who Should Wear a Boutonniere at a Wedding

A wedding day is a chance to dress up and feel your best. For a bride, this means finding the perfect dress, getting her hair and makeup done and carrying her dream bridal bouquet. And for the groom it means putting on an elegant suit or tuxedo, complete with a tie, cufflinks, and a special finishing touch… a boutonniere.

 

What Is A Boutonniere?
A boutonniere is a small floral arrangement that is worn in the button hole of a man’s suit. (Fun fact - boutonniere is French for “buttonhole”!) They are generally saved for special occasions in a man’s life, the most important one being his wedding day. The boutonniere goes in or around the buttonhole of the left lapel on a groom’s suit.

 

While wedding suits are often neutral in color or style, a boutonniere is a great way to express personal taste on your wedding day. It may match your bride’s flowers and those of your wedding party, creating a cohesive yet expressive look.
