No Boutonnieres???

FH has had VERY few requests for the wedding so far. Butttt, I'm meeting with the florist soon and brought up the idea of boutonnieres for him and the groomsmen. He was pretty much like fuck no.

I want to accommodate all of his requests since he has so few things he actually cares about, haha.

    FW is not into bouts either. But she loves dressing up dapper, so a pocket square is way more my style. When I told my little brothers who are my bridesbros, they were really into the idea.

    My FH said no to bouts. It's his wedding, too.

    I've officiated over 1,600 ceremonies, so this is the voice of experience. Bouts get crushed by hugs. Go with pocket squares.

    We were going to but since the guys have pocket squares we aren't having them with boutonnières! We also figured they wouldn't be wearing their jackets very long anyway!

    We didn't do bouts just because of personal preference. If he doesn't want them, then I say you should skip them and save the money.

    I don't think that you need to have them if you do not want them. I am not doing coursages for sure. I am not sure if I will be doing boutinerres or not.

    That's funny, FH already told me he wants a white rose for his bout. He will not accept any substitutions, heh.

    I think it's totally fine not to have them though.

    We aren't doing them but we aren't having any flowers either. I like the look of pocket squares more personally.

    We ordered bouts, the guys completely forgot about them until pictures were almost over, I didn't even notice. Looking back I actually prefer them without.
