Small blooms can disappear on wide peak lapels or structured tuxedo jackets, and fresh flowers often wilt before photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the purpose of a larger boutonniere?

    To provide proper visual balance on wider lapels, giving a clean focal point without looking undersized.

  • Will a larger boutonniere overwhelm a tuxedo?

    Not when scaled correctly. These blooms are sized for broad lapels and formal jackets, so the silhouette stays proportional.

  • Which colors are safest for formal dress codes?

    Classic red or white for evening and weddings. Choose restrained tones that complement your tie or pocket square.

  • Will it damage my lapel cloth?

    Using the buttonhole and back keeper prevents holes in the visible fabric. Avoid piercing the front of the lapel.

  • Does a larger boutonniere work with narrow lapels?

    It can appear oversized. Choose a smaller bloom for slim lapels to keep proportions tidy.

  • Is a larger boutonniere appropriate for daytime events?

    Yes. Keep the color refined and let the jacket and shirt remain simple so the bloom reads elegant rather than loud.
