Brave Buttonholes

The one adornement men have that they can have a lot of fun with and it's often the one thing that gets overlooked. Lots of florists simply use left over pieces from the brides bouquet for the grooms buttonhole, which usually means roses, and whilst the look is coordinated and matching it's also (in my opinion only!) quite boring. So here are a few ideas I found from courageous groom's who have not just sorted out the suit and maybe even cufflinks but have gone all the way with a finishing touch.

Brave Buttonhole No.1

(Above) In keeping with a seaside theme (complete with lobster motif) the groom from this wedding used a piece of rope to tie into a quirky boutonniere.


Brave Buttonhole No.2

Fresh and heavenly scented freesias provide the perfect touch for this grooms attire at a modern summer wedding. If you like this look and are trying to persuade your fiance to go for it then try to remember it will be sitting near his nose for the whole day so let him pick a flower he likes the scent of!

Brave Buttonhole No.3

Vibrantly colourful, and in array of hues, hydrangeas make nice full and showy buttonholes.

Brave Buttonhole No.4

A simple white orchid creates a statement with its bold shape. Seen here with twistings of bramble vine up the stem for an unusual detail.

Brave Buttonhole No.5

A structural creation of a single calla lily with three green orchids at the base is modern and bright. The twisted stem creates a quirky look.
