Boutonnieres

I always have the hardest time spelling that word. :)

The bride always gets the beautiful bouquet and the groom usually gets stuck with a boring boutonniere.

Well, here are some different ideas for boutonnieres.

Pinecones


Pinecones and Acorns


Dried Sunflower- Using dried flowers also allows you to make them far in advance.


Sprigs of Mint


Hypernicum Berries- these are usually used to compliment a flower in boutonnieres but I like how here it is the focal point.


Caged Rose- If you still want to use a basic flower, you can "dress it up" by using long grasses as a "cage" for it.


Buttons


Sailboats- These are really whimsical. I also have seen small croquet mallets, and rope tied into a knot.


Scrolls- Using wooden or wrapped wire scrolls help to update a basic single flower boutonniere.




Leaves- Using silk leaves with beads, buttons, scrolls, and other accessories adds depth.


Leaves and Grasses- I like how they used the grasses and leaves to make this one.


Wheat and Berries


Feathers- Here the feathers are used as the focal point, but they can also be used as adornment.


Tulips- I still love the single flower boutonnieres too.
