4 Groom Boutonniere Trends To Consider In 2021

In a wedding, it’s not only the bride that needs to accessorize with flowers or embellishments, but the groom needs to look dapper with flowers and accessories as well. This is the reason why the groom and the groomsmen also need to wear a boutonnière.

A boutonniere is a flower or any accessory worn on the tuxedo or jacket’s lapel during a wedding. Wearing a boutonniere is a long-standing tradition for many weddings. It’s generally made of simple and delicate flowers that are reflective of the wedding theme.

  1. Flowers From The Bridal Bouquet

Traditionally, boutonnieres are made from the flowers found in the bridal bouquet. Many times, a single flower is combined with another to create a distinctive bouquet, and florists can choose from this selection to create a boutonniere for the groom. This can include an entire bunch of roses, a group of different types of roses, or a mixture of different flowers, such as dahlias, carnations, and many other kinds of flowers.

  1. Different Flowers That Complement The Bridal Bouquet

For non-traditional weddings, you may choose a boutonnière that’s different from the bridal bouquet. These flowers complement the bridal flowers because it comes with many colors and also has special meanings:

  • Tulips – these boutonnieres represent perfect love and happiness, which is what the couple wants to achieve in the marriage. Tulips come in many pastel colors that’ll complement whatever color theme the wedding is having.
