Often times the Gents don’t get a whole lot of input when it comes to the flower they will sport on their wedding day… probably because they don’t know what else the Bride is planning with regard to flowers and they think whatever she picks will be fine. A Groom will often worry more about food and music, than flowers and linens – so Bride – you aren’t alone if your Groom makes you feel like he just doesn’t have an opinion about his boutonniere – just let it go.
For Brides looking for something a bit modern, cool, and fresh – we picked your man some of our favorite boutonniere (bout) looks, and some he just might love to have an opinion about. We separated them into categories that will go with your wedding concept… so choose wisely!
