Boutonniere question...please help!!!

Yes, only do one for FH. I think bouts on shirts always look weird.

I think it is perfectly fine to have the groomsmen without boutonnieres. Your inspiration photo doesn't look like it's missing anything, and they aren't wearing them. It will also save you money!

I officiate a lot of beach weddings where the guys do not wear vests or jackets. It is very difficult to pin boutonnieres onto shirts and not have them tipping over -- even if you pin through the pocket. I have sometimes stuck the stem into the pocket and then pinned through the 2 layers of fabric. Sometimes even that is not successful and it takes time. Frankly, if the florist won't be pinning on all of them -- skip them. If your groom is wearing a vest, he can be the only one wearing a boutonniere.

Thanks ladies for thoughts....I had never thought about this before today so it threw me off a bit when she mentioned it, but Im glad she did

FH and I are MOH/BM at his cousin's wedding this summer. The bride was having a difficult time with this as well. I suggested instead of pinning a boutinnere on their shirts, the florist is making them tie clips.

My FH & groomesmen are also wearing white shirts only with a turquoise tie & I've opted to have them wear bouttenires. My bouquets & bouttenires are being custom made from a seller on Etsy & are made out of burlap, the actual flower of the bouttenires will be a light tan with the stem being a turquoise, so it will still tie in with the colors but not clash with their ties.

Just have him wear a fancy tie clip and call it a day.

There is an 'art' to pinning bouttenieres and corsages.

I agree with @Nancy T 100%.

If you must have flowers - keep it very simple and lightweight.

Heyyy!! lol that's my flower!!! I love dendrobium orchids! As to the bouttonieres, sorry i'm no help lol

I like your florist,very honest ! I completely agree with her.I have done so many weddings with out boutonnieres! Good Luck

To make things standout, why no let FH give colored hankies as gifts to match the ties to give more color if they are not doing boutonnieres. just FYI

FH and his groomsmen are not wearing bouts for our wedding.. at all. FH didn't care and they only show during the ceremony.. it just seemed silly to worry about something that he didn't want.

I think if the men are just wearing a shirt and tie the flower makes them stand out from the other guests.

Your bouquet is beautiful!!! who made it? are you located in saint louis?
