Boutonniere Alternatives

We are just doing pocket squares. We are having a rustic themed wedding with a touch of "fancyness" lol. Our colors are purple and gray. Myself and my girls have bouquets and the moms and dads have bouts but the groom and groomsmen will have pocket squares.

We won't be doing a formal suit for our boys, just a vest and tie. Do vests have pockets on them?

Oh ok. I don't think vests have pockets. MmM, maybe you can find some nice manly pins that fit in with your theme.

Or this is cute with the hay stalks.

I agree with suit pins. Here are some examples (these are on suits obviously, but you can pin straight to vests)

Following because I’m looking for ideas as well! So far we’re thinking pocket squares for the groomsmen and flowers for FH and our dads.

View Quoted Comment Some vests do have pockets depending on the brand. If you can, test one out from the shop you're renting from. We needed to double check a detail about my FH's suite and Men's Wearhouse was more than happy to help. If you're buying online, you may need to order your groom's vest early to confirm.

Following because i am not a fan of flowers either and my fh does not want bouttoniers!

Hi there Bree

The lantern sounds lovely, a great alternative to bouquets!

For a boutonniere alternative, would you consider a pin or badge as pps mentioned? You could incorporate your FS personality and/or interests.

Here are a couple of ideas I found on Pinterest.

(You could use a leather flower instead of a real one)

Do you like any of these ideas? What are your FS's interests and hobbies?

He doesn't really have any interest or hobbies. Our wedding is in November and we are using pinecones in our centerpieces so I've thought about doing that with some babies breath.

This is a great idea Bree! It will fit with your theme perfectly.

Adding a bit of greenery may be a good idea too. it looks really nice in this inspo photos I found on Pinterest! It seems to be from a fir tree.
