Of equal importance to the bride’s and attendants’ bouquets are the traditional boutonnières or button holes worn by the groom, his best man and ring bearer, and the ushers.

These are the floral contributions made by the men of the occasion, and also include the father, brothers and grandfathers of the bride and groom.

 

 A boutonnière is worn on the left lapel. The groom usually has one which is made from the same flowers as the bride’s bouquet.

 

The groom’s boutonnière stands out from those of the other men. It may be of a different type of flower all together or just a different colour or arrangement.

 

Generally the fathers and grandfathers have boutonnières that match the colour schemes of their partners. The best man and the ushers usually wear ones that match the attire of the bridesmaids.

 

Roses are still the most popular flowers used for the button hole, but others include the carnations, fuschias, orchids, freesias and stephanotis.
