The fragrance of flowers has the very special power to evoke memories of a special day, and what better time to be reminded than of your big day? This is why the boutonniere needs to be well planned and picked out by the groom and bride themselves. A well thought out design will not just tie together a bridal party but also complement the overall wedding style. It can be planned out to match the bridal bouquet or can just create its own characteristic vibe with a different style.
Basic designs can simply be created using a cluster of small flowers or 2 to 3 larger flowers wrapped in fabric with minimal greens and pinned to the jacket. They add a sense of charm to the dapper look of a bridegroom and his best men. Here are a few design recommendations from Interflora’s designers for your big day accessory:
1. Contrast of sorts:
A cluster of buds and florets of intricately wired fresh blooms can be accompanied by glossy textured leaves. Velvety leaves of the Withania plant are intoxicatingly fragrant and make a great combination with any flower. Crisp white petals of roses or gardenias form a dramatic contrast with dark suit coats. A velvet overcoat could be complimented well with white and lighter shades of flowers while white coats would look nicer with darker coloured blooms in burgundy ornamenting them. Keep the look coherent by matching the flower shade with the bride’s bouquet.
2. Go Pink:
The currently trending pantone shade of classic blue or any blues would be perfectly matched with blossoms in soft pinks. A cluster of fresh flowers in coral, blush, and light pinks will take your style up a notch. If you are a rose person, the Avalanche rose is a must include in your boutonniere. If you are still hesitant to don the apparent girly shade, pick a stronger shade of pink in a bolder darker tone with a structured, cleaner style.
3. Cape Mix it up for a fall look:
Cape mix with blossoms in soft oranges and corals can add an interesting touch of fall vibe to your October wedding. These boutonnieres last a long long time and can be preserved to help you reminisce on your anniversary. You can add berries, foliage and native blooms to increase the textural elements in your design. Add a pop of pink or red if you must.
4. Go Green with succulents:
The take over of succulents is evident and these adorable mini plants have invaded the wedding space as well! Get your floral designer to come up with a design combining mini succulents arranged in a clean structure for a green boutonniere.
