Boutonnieres vs lapel pins

Here is what we're working with.

Lapel pin (this isn't the exact design but a possible choice)

Regular boutonniere

Ooh, I like the lapel pins!

Can't you use a lapel pin and a boutonniere? Like use the lapel pin to secure the boutonniere -- maybe through the inside? **I ask because we are doing boutonnieres but I bought my FH a lapel pin with pictures of his grandparents on either side (as part of his gift).

The rose lapel pins are very very cute!! (and different of course)

Wow same here i have been going back and forth with this decision as well all week i think a lapel pin looks so modern. Or we may use a carnation flower I'm over boutonniere's I don't like the stem

Let me know what you decide

Keep in mind, that the buttonhole is not always cut, so you can't put a stem through it.

Boutonnieres frequently get crushed with all the hugging going on. I'd go with a flat lapel pin.

My FH didn't want a boutonniere either. He's wearing a brooch - This brooch and his suit

I love lapel pins! You can get really creative with them and it give a sleek modern look imo. Plus you can use it again. I vote lapel pin!

I would buy whatever that model is selling....

But seriously, the lapel pin is perfectly acceptable and incredibly dashing, if you ask me.

Thank you ladies! I can always count on you! @FMP We're both doing Ike Behar tuxes! I love the brooch idea. Didn't even think of THAT!!

@Preo Will do!
