Boutonnieres have become a lot fancier during the years, these days a boutonniere is a little more then a single rose slip into a buttonhole on a man’s lapel. For weddings it is customary to use a flower from the brides’ bouquet with baby’s breath or ferns; this adds the couples personal flair to the tradition of wearing boutonnieres. For prospective, a boutonniere is to a groom what a bouquet is to a bride, it provides a sense of style.

The price of just a single boutonniere can cost around $15 to $35 depending on the flowers chosen. I can truly understand why more and more brides opt to take on the task of making their own. I am not a big advocate of Do-It-Yourself wedding projects but boutonnieres are one of the simplest arrangements to make. If you are planning on using fresh flowers it is important to remember to store it properly. Try not to make your fresh flower boutonnieres more then 2-3 days in advance, recruit some help if you are worry about finishing on time.

Make your own:
Choose a small or mid-size flower
Add baby’s breath or fern (you could even use both)
Cut the stems about 21/2 inches below the flower head
Lay fern and/or baby’s breath then flower (Play around with flower arrangement a little until you like the way it looks)
Wrap stems with some florist tape
