Other flowers that work <br />well include stephanotis, tulips and orchids. If you are on a <br />budget, carnations are a good choice. <p><br /><b>Choosing Your Boutonnieres</b><p><br />The colour of your boutonnieres can be chosen to either contrast <br />or complement the colour of the groom's outfit. For instance a <br />black morning suit with a burgundy cravat could be complemented <br />by a burgundy boutonniere made from a tulip, calla lily or rose. <p><br />Alternatively, you could arrange for boutonnieres to be made that <br />mirror the flowers in the bride's bouquet. <p><br /><b>Who Should Have Boutonnieres?</b><p><br />It is common for the bridegroom, best man, ushers/groomsmen and <br />fathers of the bride and bridegroom to all have boutonnieres. <br />Some couples also like to make boutonnieres available to all who <br />attend the wedding ceremony, but this will be dependant on your <br />budget. <p><br />To mark him out as special, the bridegroom often has a slightly <br />different boutonniere to the rest of the wedding party. It maybe <br />a different colour, or the florist may put elaborate <br />embellishments on it such as decorative beads, diamante, or <br />additional blooms. <p><br /><b>How to Wear Your Boutonnieres</b><p><br />The boutonniere is worn on the gentleman's left lapel. It should <br />be worn on the outside of the buttonhole, and not in it. It is <br />common to secure it in place by using a pearl-headed pin from the <br />back of the lapel. This can be done in such a way that the pin <br />will then be invisible from the front. <p><br />Weddings are generally focused on how special the bride looks. <br />Boutonnieres are an inexpensive way to ensure that the groom <br />looks and feels special too.<br><h1>About the Author</h1><br /><p>Paul Ajao is co-founder of wedding florists Pure Botanics.
