If you're looking for a way to add some flair to your wedding day, don't forget the boutonniere. A boutonniere is a small flower that is pinned to the lapel or chest of a man's suit for an event. It's usually worn at weddings, but you can also wear one to prom. Whether it be a single bloom or multiplied with other flowers, there are many different styles and colours out there. Most of them can be taken from Toronto Flowers .
You would want to make sure your colour scheme matches the wedding, so it doesn't look mismatched. If you're searching for unique inspiration on what type of flowers would work well as a boutonniere, we have plenty of suggestions. The details underneath will help you pick which kind of flower would work best for your big day.
White Ranunculus
A white wedding boutonniere (of course with white ranunculus) is a beautiful way to add some life and colour to your special day. When paired with the correct outfit, it can be both understated and make an impactful statement.
Lisianthus
For a more relaxed vibe to your wedding, go with light pink tones. A boutonniere featuring lisianthus will stand out against a darker blue suit or tuxedo.
Lavender
A fairy tale wedding deserves an equally enchanting boutonniere. To look every bit as picturesque and stunning as the location, a storybook design with sprigs of lavender nestled between olive leaves tied together by frayed linen is nothing short of a dream.
Blue Thistle
A blue thistle boutonniere looks great with navy and white. It is elegant and polished-perfect if you're looking to be formal or more relaxed at a wedding in which colour coordination is key (think: bride dress).
Orange Rose
Orange rose boutonnieres are a great way to spice up any wedding. The orange flower's colours can easily complement the groom's paisley tie, making it an aesthetically pleasing look for both him and his groomsmen in matching patterns.
Phalaenopsis orchid
A Phalaenopsis orchid boutonniere is a perfect way to add some life and colour to your wedding. The bold flower comes in various colours, including yellow with white petals for more formal occasions like black tie weddings where you want an attention-grabbing accessory.
Cymbidium orchid
A cymbidium orchid is an excellent option for those looking to add some colour and flair. The flower comes in many different hues, making it the perfect choice of boutonniere whether you are going with an outdoor setting at your next wedding ceremony or event.
White anemone
Anemones are the perfect flower for a wedding boutonniere. Their colours vary from bright to dark blue, depending on location to light and water; they can be as simple or sophisticated-elegant even. But they are always surprised when you least expect it.
Tillandsia
If you are looking for something more than flowers to add some charm and beauty to your special day, try air plants or nature-inspired accents. For weddings at outdoor venues like the beach, where temperatures can reach scorching levels in summertime (or even winter!), bring along with feathers as well.
Jasmine
Add delicate vines, like jasmine buds and English ivy branches. Ferns make for a perfect addition as well. You could go with ferns if you're feeling more traditional, don't forget about some fun greenery. They will be such an excellent contrast against all things elegant on your special day.
Burgundy Ranunculus
The perfect combination is a red ranunculus, with its burgundy colour and sleek shape. These flowers can be used for many different occasions, so they are great to have in your pocket on those days you don't feel like putting much thought into what you'll wear.
Chrysanthemum
A boutonniere of dried grasses and chrysanthemums is a perfect way to add some natural life to your formal tux. The sophisticated colour palette will make any groom feel like they are walking down the aisle in style without having it look too rustic or wild.
Purple clematis
Purple clematis boutonniere is an excellent choice for those wanting their nuptials contemporary. And if grey suits are more up your alley, then go with this flower. It has just enough hues in there without being overwhelming or dulled down by other tones, which can sometimes happen when using dark greys on clothing items.
Oxypetalum
The boutonnieres of pale blue oxypetalum flower and dark blue privet berries are nothing short of enchanting. The frilly textured air plants, also known as philodendrons or elephant's ears in English-speaking countries, will surely make any event more beautiful with their exotic appeal.
Ivory rose
The scent of rosemary and the gentle petals on a single ivory rose makes for an unusual but perfect pairing. This herbaceous medley consists of all-white floral elements wrapped in matching satin ribbon, making it look just as lovely up close or from afar.
Tulips (mini)
Looking at a jubilant little mix of happy yellow tulips and rosemary is sure to make your day brighter. This boutonniere has an airy, sunny feel that's perfect for any occasion.
Wintery roses
Plum and purple roses sitting atop vibrant greenery that matches the colour nicely present an aesthetically pleasing look without being too much like every other floral arrangement.
White hydrangea
The white and green boutonniere is an unexpected twist on traditional flowers. Blossoms and berries all come together in this simple yet pleasing design that's perfect for any occasion.
