Pocket Square & Boutonnière or One or the Other!?

So I read that wearing a pocket square & boutonnière is considered “permitted” but the articles warn of it being too much or clashing.

Right now we have budgeted for both without realizing it could be overkill. We have both planned for the groom, best man & our fathers.

What are you doing!? One or the other? Both? Neither?

We are doing neither. Never been traditional nor trendy.

We did both! I didn't think it was overkill at all

We went with both and I think it looked pretty balanced.

We're planning to do both! BUT, it never crossed my mind that it would be too much, so now that you bring it up, I definitely want to see them together before they walk out.

He’s wearing just a tie with a matching pocket square & so are the groomsmen & fathers. He doesn’t want to wear a boutonnière, says men don’t wear flowers! Lol!

We’re just doing boutonnières because we wanted them to be the statement (though they’re dice and not flowers so I don’t know about flowers)

My husband wore both. I didn’t love the look of a patterned pocket square with the bout, so he had a textured white pocket square.

We did both. Didn’t even consider only one.

I think both will look fine! We’re just doing a boutonnière but only because we’re getting married on the beach and it would be too hot for a suit jacket

We are doing both. Without the pocket squares that groomsmens outfit looked off for the ones we choose at least.

Do both, do one or the other, or do none. None of these things will make or break your wedding at all, not in the slightest!

If budget is a concern, I would do one or none. If you cut out the extraneous things you can save a lot of money and still have a beautiful wedding.

My husband, groomsmen, and the dads had both pockets squares and boutonnières. I definitely don't think they looked too busy, if anything they made it look more balanced

They look great together. Fred Astaire and Cary Grant will never lead you astray. (Though when going with both it's often said to be best if at least one of them is white.)

Lol! Me either. But it seems in most cases both look fine!
