Boutonnières

Creative Boutonnieres are a lot more fun than your standard floral bout.
Here are some adorable button holes for the male attendants in your group.







Customized bouts are a wonderful way to let your Groom know that he is special.   I had a Bride whose Groom loved his two dogs.  She purchased two small charms and inserted pictures of the dogs.  We attached them to his lapel.  He was moved to tears at his lover's thoughtfulness.  Another Groom loved the Cardinals so much that he attached little pennants to each groomsman's lapel.  The small token created a wonderful bond between the men and the night's festivities reflected that thoughtfulness.

Perhaps your Groom has a hobby, profession or other interest that would best be represented by a small token of affection.   Maybe he loves golf?  A golf tee surrounded by some fresh grass would be an adorable reminder of his hobby.   If he is an accountant, then some paper printed with numbers rolled up into a rose would be fun, fastened with a miniature pencil.

Boutonnieres are a wonderful DIY project and something that could be individualized for each male attendant in your party.    These bouts from Lalalaurie on Etsy.com are so adorable made from buttons, fabric, tiny figures and feathers.
