When it comes to wedding attire every detail counts, and one of the most charming details is the wedding buttonhole, also known as a boutonniere. These small floral arrangements are traditionally worn by the groom, groomsmen, ushers, and fathers of the bride and groom, however there an increasing number of women now incorporating them into their look. They add a touch of elegance and personality to the wedding ensemble, making them a beloved tradition in many weddings.
A wedding buttonhole is a small floral arrangement that is typically pinned to the left lapel of a suit or blazer. It is usually made from a single flower or a small cluster of flowers and foliage. The choice of flowers is endless. It can be a single flower or more different varieties. Some of them can be very simple while other have unique or unusual ingredients.
Buttonholes serve several purposes at a wedding. Firstly, they help distinguish the key members of the wedding party from the other guests. This can be particularly useful in large weddings.

Here are few tips before choosing your perfect buttonhole.
Match the Theme: Ensure the buttonhole complements the wedding feel and colour palette. Is your wedding style more rustic, relaxed or very elegant? All these aspects will have an impact on what ingredients your florist should use.
Personal Touch: Incorporate elements that reflect the groom’s personality or interests.
Seasonal Flowers: choose the flowers that are in season to ensure freshness and availability. They will vary depending on the time of year, but your florist will guide you on what is available.
Wedding buttonholes are a small but significant detail that can add a lot of charm and personality to the wedding attire. Whether you opt for a traditional floral arrangement or something more unique, they are sure to make a stylish statement on your big day.
