Wedding Flower For The Groom’s Boutonnière
The groom’s Boutonniere can literally be composed of any flower you fancy. Some like to stick with tradition using a flower from the brides wedding bouquet, whereas others prefer a different flower for their selection.
Going with the traditional method is a charming way for the bride and groom to share a part of the overall outfit and also saves on time and additional costs. Giving prior thought to the groom’s Boutonniere before selecting the full arrangement for the bridal bouquet will give you a head start into the perfect flower choices for both.
You may want to choose a particularly beautiful flower for both parties such as a Calla Lily. Roses are always a great choice for any flower arrangement with their classic beauty.
Some are of the mindset that certain colors are inappropriate for the groom such as pink. However, with the right flower such as a pink orchid, this can be an exceptional choice. The stark contrast of the delicate flower and the masculine outfit can be quite striking. And anyway, these days men are enjoying the freedom to choose any color for their wedding attire with some going more wacky than others including white, light pink and baby blue, so any problem regarding the flower pales into significance here!
Maybe you are not inclined to stick with tradition and want to choose a different flower altogether from that of the bouquet, for the purposes of the Boutonniere. Perhaps you are selecting a Rose Pomander for the bouquet but feel that a lily would compliment the outfit of the groom far better. Or in contrast, the bride may opt for a cascading bouquet with white Lilies and a rich red rose for the Groom’s Boutonnière in contrast. There are no rules or regulations when creativity is at stake.
Some may forget that there is the additional wealth of choice brought about by using a silk flower. These flowers needn’t be in place of a natural flower but rather a unique entity all by itself. You can even choose a silk flower in a species all of it’s own for a truly original choice. There are also less concerns for the maintenance of the flower and they can be obtained well in advance.
These days many brides are also using other methods for constructing the bouquet using silk ribbon and other materials, rather than natural flowers. This is also possible for the groom’s Boutonniere for an extra unique style. If you don’t want to use artificial flowers in place of a natural flower but want something a bit different, this is a great choice.
The bride will always want to be the belle of the ball, but the groom has to look the part too. With a beautifully crafted groom’s Boutonnière that shouldn’t be too difficult.
