If you still don’t know what style of boutonniere to wear, this guide will be very helpful.

Classic Buttonhole
The most classic thing about this accessory is that the boutonniere is made with flowers of common species, such as roses or carnations. The size should be considerable depending on the width and length of the lapel, as well as the complexion of the fiancé. A single white or red rose with green foliage is most commonly used in weddings attached to wedding traditions.

Personalized Buttonhole
Are you passionate about a sport, discipline or hobby? There are engaged couples who are bold and carry a part of them with them. For this, they choose the boutonniere and add to the small floral arrangement a pin with an American football, a character from their favorite series or a charro hat. What would you choose?

Coordinated with the Bride’s Bouquet
There are couples who are perfectly coordinated, not only in the way they think and make decisions, but who take that quality a step further to demonstrate it in their bridal style. If they recognize themselves in this description, you can decide to use a groom’s boutonniere with the same characteristics as his bouquet, that is, as if it were a miniature. Very creative, right?

Artificial Flowers
If the bride is wearing an artificial bouquet, you can ask your designer to create a boutonniere with similar characteristics to the bride’s bouquet. Just remember to take care of the proportions and size so that it doesn’t look too small or too excessive. Accompanied by fabric, such as burlap or lace, it is perfect for country weddings.

Themed Boutonniere
When the couple has decided that in addition to a set style for the wedding, they will have a particular theme, they can incorporate elements of their style as part of the theme. For example, if you’re planning a casual celebration in which the groom’s suit will be replaced with a denim jacket, you can opt for a fabric or similar material buttonhole to match the theme. If the tie will be on the beach, a boutonniere with marine motifs will be perfect, or if the tie decoration is inspired by a decade of the 1920s, choosing a feather boutonniere will be a great success.

Wooden Boutonniere
If you have decided to get married in a farmhouse and wood predominates in the wedding details, the groom’s boutonniere made of this material will be more than perfect to accentuate the rustic style of your celebration. You can engrave your name, the date of your wedding or whatever you want and also decorate it with flowers or lace to make it stand out.
