Sure, flowers are beautiful, but why not add a bit of your creative spirit and personality into the little details of your wedding, like the boutonnieres? You know, the single stem flower things that guys wear on their chest at formal events. Yes, they are called a boutonniere. This fancy french word actually means ‘buttonhole’ and back in the day, single flowers or buds were held on with a loop just behind the buttonhole on the lapel of a formal jacket. Hence the name, boutonniere. Nowadays, boutonnieres are usually just held on with a decorative straight pin. Either way, nobody wants just any ol’ boring boutonniere.
