We always talk and share flowers for the brides, bridesmaids, and ceremonies, but sometimes the boys’ boutonnieres can seem secondary. So, today, we want to give some love to the boys and the flowers that grace their lapels on the wedding day. Of course you have to think about them holding up and looking fresh, but we always make a few extras to have as backup if all of the hugs crush them a little bit. Above, sweet white tulips are nestled with fresh fern fronds and hearty lambs ear.

For this summertime beachside wedding, young buds of helioboris orchids made unexpectedly sweet bouts that would definitely hold up in the weather conditions.

Of course, presentation is everything to us, even for the guys. We often have our calligrapher make personal tags for so we can make sure everyone is covered and of course it looks so nice in pics.

And, we love when clients aren’t afraid of color, bouts don’t always have to be white. At a Martha’s Vineyard wedding, wild local purple anenoemes couldn’t be overlooked. For a wedding with all shades of pink, the sweetest pink sweet peas made picture bouts… We think our grooms look pretty in pink!
