A boutonnière or buttonhole 

A Little About Buttonholes

When it comes to weddings, every detail counts, including the elegant touch of a wedding buttonhole. These small floral arrangements worn on the lapel of a suit or tuxedo can make a big impact on the overall look and feel of the day.

 

Florals play a crucial role in creating a cohesive and beautiful wedding aesthetic, and the buttonhole is no exception. Traditionally, the groom, groomsmen, fathers, and other male members of the wedding party wear buttonholes to complement the bridal bouquet and other floral decorations.

 

The choice of flowers for a wedding buttonhole is significant as it should harmonize with the overall theme and colour scheme of the wedding. Classic choices like roses, lilies, and orchids are timeless options that exude elegance and sophistication. For a more rustic or bohemian vibe, wildflowers like lavender, daisies, or baby's breath can add a whimsical touch to the buttonhole.

 

In addition to the type of flower, the greenery and accents used in the buttonhole can also enhance its beauty and uniqueness. Foliage like eucalyptus, ferns, or ivy can add texture and depth to the arrangement, while small details like berries, twine, or feathers can make the buttonhole truly stand out.

 

Whether you opt for a classic and understated buttonhole or a bold and colourful one, the key is to choose florals that not only look beautiful but also hold special meaning for you and your partner. These small floral accents may seem minor, but they play a significant role in tying together the day's overall aesthetic and creating lasting memories.
