Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the purpose of a boutonniere?

    A boutonniere is a flower worn on your jacket lapel to add a finishing touch of style and color. It's a classic way to dress up for special events.

  • How do I pick a boutonniere?

    Choose a size that is proportional to your jacket's lapel. For the flower, pick a color that complements your outfit and an elegant style that suits the formality of the occasion.

  • What size should a boutonniere be?

    It should look balanced on your lapel. For most modern jackets, a smaller flower looks best because a huge one can look clumsy and old-fashioned.

  • Are boutonnieres necessary for a wedding?

    They aren't required, but they are a classic tradition for the groom and groomsmen. They help the wedding party look connected and dressed up for the special day.

  • Should a boutonniere go on the left or right?

    Always wear it on the left lapel of your jacket.

  • How high should a boutonniere be?

    It should be placed high on the lapel, sitting centered over the lapel's buttonhole.

  • Do boutonnieres come with pins?

    No, they come with a special clasp on the back. It slides into the buttonhole on your lapel for a secure fit that won't leave pinholes in your clothes. For a visual guide, our tutorial shows you the best way to attach it for a perfect look.

  • How long will a boutonniere last?

    Because our boutonnieres are made of silk, they will last a lifetime. A real flower will wilt and die in just a few hours.

  • What is the difference between boutonnieres and corsages?

    A boutonniere is a single flower worn by a man on his jacket lapel. A corsage is a larger flower arrangement worn by a woman, usually on her wrist or pinned to her dress.
