• A boutonnière can reflect your wedding theme, whether it’s rustic, tropical, or inspired by classic romance.
• Choosing durable blooms like calla lilies or in-season flowers ensures your boutonnière stays fresh and budget-friendly.
• Personal touches, like charms or unique elements, can make your boutonnière meaningful and unforgettable for your big day.

A Western-Inspired Arrangement

Adding a soft floral touch to his fall nuptials (which were inspired by Little Women and Legends of the Falls), this groom—with the help of Da Fiori Design—accented his ensemble with a boutonnière made of lisianthus. The light-toned bundle was held together by a patterned fabric tie, adding rustic touch to the arrangement.

A Spider Boutonnière With Light and Dark Accents

Since their wedding called for guests to embrace "a main character moment," the grooms designed to go for something a bit more subtle when it came to their boutonnières. The end result? A "spider" arrangement from el Creativo that included a dark ribbon and long-stemmed florals.

Jasmine Buds and Wildflowers

Giving a bit of color to his all-white ensemble, this groom added a boutonnière with jasmine buds, wildflowers, and a small pink rose to his jacket. The arrangement, put together by Siren Floral Co., lent a nature-inspired aesthetic to his outfit and his Malibu nuptials.

Spider Orchid, Caster, and Feathertop

Fusing vibrant colors with interesting textures will make your boutonnière highly memorable. At this California coastal wedding at a barn, the groom wore a mix of spider orchid, caster, and feathertop that brought depth and dimension to his dark suit and tie.

Rose and Goldenrod

Choosing in-season blooms will make your boutonnière more affordable and help establish a sense of place. For fall fêtes, like this romantic one in Atlanta, consider seasonal staples, such as rose and goldenrod. To reflect the naturally-occurring hues in the environment, settle on apt tones, like burgundy and gold.

A Bed of Ranunculus and Roses

While single or dual flowers are a common choice for boutonnières, planting an entire garden will go above and beyond, bringing an unexpected, attention-grabbing touch to your getup. Take cues from this groom at his romantic wedding in Northern California, and cover the entire length of your lapel with a bed of ranunculus and roses. Pastel shades will complement summertime soirées.

Rose and Pink Bunny Tails

Bunny tails are usually found in white hues, but for an unconventional choice that will get everyone talking, consider a brighter tone, like the baby pink shade that this groom chose for his tropical disco-themed wedding. Paired with a single white rose and textured petals, this boutonnière is whimsical and romantic.

Ferns and a Pinecone

Playing with dried florals and organic elements is one of the best ways to pay homage to fall. At this autumnal bash in Big Sur, the groom donned a collection of dried flowers with a golden fern and pinecone, pulling in the natural elements of the surrounding landscape. The organic hues also fared well with his muted green pocket square and bow tie.

A Single Red Rose

There's nothing more romantic and timeless than sporting a single red rose on your lapel. The singular flower will evoke classic sophistication, especially when paired with a black tuxedo and matching bow tie, like this groom did at his celestial-inspired wedding in Detroit.

Spray Roses, Olive Branches, and Huckleberry

Is there any color combination that's more classic than white and green? If your event has a more traditional look and feel, stick with these grounding hues. With spray roses, olive branches, and huckleberry, you'll guarantee the timeless appeal of your boutonnière.

Berries and Leaves

Instead of making flowers the focal point of your boutonnière, consider enlisting brightly-colored berries and fresh leaves (which is what this groom wore to his multicultural bash in New Mexico), especially for natural aesthetics and locales.

Rose and Ranunculus

Even if you're wearing a colorful outfit, you don't have to skimp on vivacious hues when it comes to your boutonnière. To maintain some sort of cohesion, opt for similar shades, such as a magenta rose and ranunculus, and set them against a red velvet tuxedo (which the groom presented at his glamorous wedding in Brooklyn).

A Pearl-Studded Brooch

Who says you have to include flowers in the boutonnière for your wedding? Instead of lush blooms, opt for another component that encapsulates your personality or aesthetic. A brooch covered in pearls and sequins will look dazzling on display at a glamorous soirée, such as this one at a hotel in New York City.

White Lisianthus

Instead of merging several different flowers together, another option is sticking with a focal bloom. A larger, fuller, multi-petaled variety, such as the lisianthus that this groom wore to his royal-inspired wedding in California, will really create that "wow" factor.

Roses With a Charm

To bring a sentimental touch to your outfit, pin a meaningful charm onto your boutonnière. For example, at his classic celebration in Raleigh, this groom secured a photo of his late grandmother onto a pair of neutral roses. That way, you'll keep your loved one close to your heart throughout the day.

Mixed Greenery

For botanical aesthetics or locales, a mix of greenery is the best bet for your boutonnière. Compiling fresh greens together will bring a crisp, garden-fresh feel to your attire, like this groom did at his bright and airy bash in Maine.

Pink Garden Rose With Blue Accents

Want to make a splash with your boutonnière? If your color palette is vibrant and bold, like the one at this carnival-themed wedding, consider an extraordinary combination of colors for your accessory, like hot pink and bright blue.

Anthurium and Greenery

This heat-friendly boutonnière, made of an anthurium and tropical greenery, is the perfect combination for any tropical setting or style. A white bloom placed on top of prolific greens pops against a white tuxedo or suit jacket.

Blue Grape Hyacinths

There's nothing more evocative of a brilliant summer day than a cluster of blue grape hyacinths, wrapped in a natural, bleached burlap. The stunning shade will pop against a neutral backdrop, so make sure to choose your shirt or jacket accordingly.

A Garden Rose With Tuberose and Delphinium

A rust-hued garden rose, framed by pale pink and cream tuberose and delphinium, evokes romance. This earthy color palette perfectly complements a pale tuxedo or organic aesthetic.

Rosebuds and Bunny Tails

Red and white rosebuds on a boutonnière will add a punch to any suit jacket, even one that's acutely patterned and accompanied by a printed pocket square, like the one shown here. We love how the addition of feathery dried grasses and fluffy bunny tails completely refreshes this otherwise traditional arrangement.

Mums With Dried Grasses and Ferns

To create contrast, combine bold, saturated hues with all-black attire. The collection of sunset-hued mums, dried grasses, and ferns is also ideal for an autumnal wedding.

Pieris and Dried Grasses

A charcoal suit will take on new life with a boutonnière of pieris and dried grasses. The sea-inspired textures and muted tones are a picture-perfect fit for a bohemian-meets-coastal function.

Cream-Colored Rose

The headliner in this boutonnière is clearly the creamy rose in all its elegant glory, but the orange and purple buds might just steal the show. Both pieces of foliage are equally statement-making.

Pampas Grass and Greens

A tuxedo with a black shawl collar can be difficult to accessorize, but a boutonnière of pampas grass and greenery contrasts exquisitely in both texture and tone—without getting lost in the mix.

Garden Roses and Hypericum Berries

Pale green blooms and hints of white exude "alfresco wedding." This boutonnière consists of locally foraged botanicals, garden roses, and hypericum berries in the most revitalizing hues, perfect for a nature-focused affair.

Ranunculus Buds and Twine

If you're wearing a forest green tuxedo, choosing blooms that won't overshadow the rich tone can be a challenging feat. However, coral ranunculus buds and twine will beautifully complement the earthy shade.

Scabiosa With Privet Berries

A leather lapel exudes drama. To maximize this effect, consider moody scabiosa and berries for your boutonnière. Adding a white blossom and sprigs of greenery will also provide balance.

Ivory Rose and Rosemary

Roses and rosemary are an unexpected pairing that will perfectly complete your ensemble. This herbaceous medley consists of a single ivory rose and clusters of rosemary, all wrapped in matching satin ribbon.

Succulent With Snowberries

If soft, cool tones are taking up real estate on your wedding mood board, you'll want to take note of these pale blues, soft grays, and powdery greens. This succulent boutonnière is accented with yellow snowberries and dusty miller leaves for a truly unique design.

Peach Ranunculus and Silver Brunia

This boutonnière of a sole peach ranunculus and silver brunia highlights the fact that peach tones and silvery greens are quite complementary. We especially like the unique, duo-chrome approach to ribboning off the medley in silver and black.

Astilbe Tied With Ribbon

Fluffy and poignant astilbe, backed by greenery and held tightly with ribbon, imbues rich texture. We also love how the pink ribbon picks up on the slightest bits of pink in the blooms.

Hydrangea Blossoms, Berries, and Acorns

A boutonnière of hydrangea blossoms, berries, and acorns will create a medley of colors, shapes, and textures. Not to mention, pairing berries and acorns together will reinforce the aesthetic of an outdoor ceremony or reception setting, whether it's in a forest or at a vineyard.

White and Green Stephanotis

Stephanotis is often considered "the wedding flower" since it symbolizes marital happiness and good luck. Not only will wearing it in a classic boutonnière in white and green bless your future marriage, but it will also radiate timelessness and coordinate with any garment.

Mini Tulips and Herbs

Incorporating a burst of yellow into your boutonnière will bring a cheery note to your outfit, especially for spring or summer nuptials. Adding greenery, like rosemary, will also provide a nice contrast and a refreshing flair.

Mustache Pin With Dried Wheat

Since it's your wedding, your outfit should reflect your style and personality, meaning you can integrate virtually any element into your boutonnière if it represents who you are and what you love. For example, this mustache pin added a little pizzaz to a harvest-themed arrangement of dried wheat and pastoral flowers.

Dried Grasses and Chrysanthemum

Going for an upscale look with an organic-yet-bohemian twist? A blend of bleached, dried grasses and chrysanthemums will bring a natural, effortless flair to a formal tuxedo.

Cream Rose With Greenery

This creamy rose has a significantly warm cast that picks up the faint reds in the greenery. Wrapped in dark green ribbon, the design looks at home on the ivory lapel, whereas a starker white would have been too cool of a tone.

White Orchid With Dotted Ribbon

A singular white orchid elicits grace and sophistication. Wrapped in a black-and-white ribbon, this idea is perfect for black-tie dress codes in an upscale venue, such as a ballroom or château.

White Spray Roses With Hypericum Berries

If you're wearing a bright blue suit, soft pastels will bring a colorful, refreshing pop to your getup. For instance, hypericum berries, spray roses, and eucalyptus leaves, tied together with a peach silk ribbon, will create more visual intrigue than strictly neutral hues.

A Handmade Fishing Fly

This boutonnière includes a personal touch: a handmade fishing fly crafted by the bride's uncle. The unique accent was nestled amongst the white majolica rose, dusty miller, and astilbe for a pretty seamless look.

Purple Clematis

Purple and blue are far from your traditional nuptial color palette. But this purple clematis boutonniere and gray-blue suit certainly make a case for the pairing.

White Ranunculus With Subtle Greenery

A blend of white ranunculus and greenery is ideal for traditional styles. Not to mention, the versatile colors will match any garment, whether it's a gray-blue suit with a polka-dot tie or a classic black tuxedo.

Baby's Breath and Twine

A twine-wrapped mini-bouquet will be the perfect touch on a timeless black tuxedo. The natural tones and organic textures of the baby's breath buds and twine will soften the formal attire, creating a more approachable look.

Berry and Gum Leaves

A simple boutonniere with berries, gum leaves, and added greens will integrate a fresh touch into any black-and-white ensemble. Plus, wrapping twine around the stems will bring an organic edge to an otherwise formal look.
