Well, you can’t do a blog on bouquets without doing one on their male counterparts, the Boutonnière. The origin of the Boutonnière dates back to the 16th century.
French for “buttonhole” this petite fleur was typically pushed through the buttonhole on the left side of a man’s jacket lapel and held in place by a loop (I always wondered why we made it with that loop.) With the absence of buttonholes, the Boutonnière is secured in place with a small pin or a magnet made specifically for this purpose.
I like to match the grooms Boutonnière with an appropriate flower that’s also in the bridal bouquet. There are traditional bouquets that are made with miniature roses or orchids and there are bout’s with an edgy or modern design. Another favorite are bout’s that use a more organic and non-flower approach.
