A boutonniere is always a nice touch for the groom, best man, groomsmen…and of course a nice way to recognize the special men in your life such a dad, grandpa, etc. A boutonniere will always look best on a jacket lapel. A lapel is strong enough to hold up the boutonniere to prevent “floppy-ness”. I always joke with my grooms that a boutonniere pinned to a shirt reminds me of jr. high dances – remember when the boys would give the girls corsages? Do kids even still do that?? So cute to remember those days…
I digress…=) Anyway, if the men in the bridal party will not be wearing jackets, you may want to skip boutonnieres all together. It will make for a cleaner look in the photos. If it means a lot to you to have them, be sure to inform your wedding planner that the men will not be wearing jackets. This way we can let the florist know and they will make sure to make the boutonnieres either smaller in size or with lighter flowers.
