What is a boutonniere? How does it work?

A boutonniere is a small flower that is worn on the lapel of a suit or tuxedo. They are typically made with one or two flowers and some greenery. Boutonnieres are usually worn by grooms, best men, and fathers of the bride or groom at weddings. They can also be worn by anyone attending a formal event such as a prom or dance.

How boutonnieres are worn has changed over time. In the past, boutonnieres were pinned to the lapel with a boutonniere pin. Today, many florists will use a small amount of clear tape or fishing line to attach the boutonniere to the lapel. This ensures that the boutonniere stays in place and does not damage the clothing.

There are many different types of flowers that can be used for boutonnieres. The most popular flowers include roses, lilies, and carnations. However, any type of flower can be used as long as it is small and delicate. 

When choosing a boutonniere, it is important to consider the colour of the flowers and the time of year. For example, a boutonniere made with red roses would be appropriate for a winter wedding. A boutonniere made with yellow lilies would be perfect for a summer event.
