Boutonnière Ideas for Any Wedding Style

Just about any bloom will work for the wedding boutonnière, but why stick with predictable picks? Luckily, there's no shortage of ideas. But how do you pick the perfect wedding boutonnière that will earn your seal of approval and still feel like a cohesive part of your floral design?

Start with the color: White, green, and yellow are all popular shades. Another great way to balance out a boutonnière is with the addition of bold greenery. Fresh herbs, leafy greens, or a modern succulent are all great additions to softer-hued flowers. Or go with one large succulent, a cluster of greens or berries, or a barely there off-white cluster of nontraditional wedding flowers—we like perennial astilbe or clematis—for a look that expresses a more modern style.

In an effort to help you select the perfect boutonnière, we rounded up some great ideas that you're sure to love.

Rosebuds and Bunny Tails

Red and white rosebuds totally pop against this gray, acutely patterned suit jacket without clashing with that funky purple pocket square. We love how the addition of feathery dried grasses and fluffy bunny tails completely refreshes this otherwise traditional rose boutonnière.

Blue Grape Hyacinths

There's nothing more evocative of a brilliant summer day than this cluster of blue grape hyacinths wrapped in a natural, bleached burlap. Best of all? The flowers were picked up from the local flower market the day before this intimate waterfront wedding.

Dried Grasses and Chrysanthemum

Now, this is posh with an organic boho twist. The oh-so sophisticated formal tux gets a brush of nature with a boutonnière of bleached, dried grasses and chrysanthemums. We can't help but drool over the color palette.

Flag Pins and a Single Rose

Let your flags fly and wear your national pride on your, er, lapel on your wedding day. This white rose boutonnière is crowned with an American and Canadian flag pin representing the newlyweds' separate nationalities coming together.

Scabiosa and Rosemary

These playful bundles present an unexpected composition. Lollipop scabiosa and fragrant rosemary come together in the most elegant way.

Green Hellebores and Privet Berries

These boutonnières of muted green hellebores, reddened foliage, and tiny privet berries encapsulate all the romance of an autumnal wedding. We love that each tiny posy keeps with the uniformity of the bunch but takes on a unique look all its own.

A Garden Rose With Tuberose and Delphinium

Now here's a romantic boutonnière. A rust-hued garden rose is framed by pale pink and cream tuberose and delphinium for a color palette that harmonizes beautifully with the pale tuxedo.

Pampas Grass and Greens

An inky tux with a black shawl collar can be difficult to accessorize. This bright pampas grass boutonnière contrasts exquisitely in both texture and tone without getting lost in the mix.

Purple Clematis

Purple and blue are far from your traditional nuptial color palette. But this purple clematis boutonniere and gray-blue suit certainly make a case for the combo.

Berry and Gum Leaves

A simple boutonniere comprised of berry, gum leaves, and additional greenery adds a fresh touch to this black-and-white ensemble. How sweet is that twine wrapped around the stems?

Mums With Dried Grasses and Ferns

We're definitely digging this combination of bold, spicy hues with all-black attire and turquoise accents. The rich boutonnière gets its character from sunset-hued mums, dried grasses, and ferns.

Ivory Rose and Rosemary

Roses and rosemary seem like they would go hand in hand, which is why we're surprised we haven't seen more of them together. This herbaceous medley consists of a single ivory rose and clusters of rosemary all wrapped in matching satin ribbon.

Astilbe Tied With Ribbon

Hello, texture! Fluffy and poignant astilbe is backed by greenery and held tightly with ribbon in this boutonnière. Check out how the pink ribbon picks up on the slightest bits of pink in the blooms.

Lavender and Olive Leaves

Fairy-tale nuptials in the French countryside clearly call for an equally enchanting boutonnière. This storybook design pairs sprigs of heavenly lavender with olive leaves and ties it all together with frayed linen in the palest shade of blue. Et voilà!

Garden Roses and Hypericum Berries

Pale green blooms and hints of white just exude "alfresco wedding." This boutonnière consists of locally foraged botanicals, garden roses, and hypericum berries in the most revitalizing of hues.

Mini Tulips and Herbs

Who doesn't instantly smile when looking at this jubilant little mix? Here, happy yellow tulips and rosemary come together in the most vivacious boutonnière.

Pieris and Dried Grasses

This charcoal suit takes on new life with a boutonnière of pieris and dried grasses. The sea-inspired textures and muted tones are a picture-perfect fit for a boho coastal wedding.

Succulent With Snowberries

If soft, cool tones are taking up real estate on your wedding mood board, you'll want to take note of these pale blues, soft grays, and powdery greens. This succulent boutonnière is accented with yellow snowberries and dusty miller leaves for a truly unique design.

Wintry Roses and Greenery

Think winter-wedding chic without all the obvious, seasonal connotations. These boutonnières of plum, dusty purple, and cranberry roses with vibrant greenery completely nailed the aesthetic.

Hydrangea Blossoms, Berries, and Acorns

A white and green boutonnière comprised of hydrangea blossoms, berries, and acorns has all kinds of unexpected textures. And honestly, how sweet are those tiny acorns?

Off-White Roses

This blue striped suit and polka-dot bow tie need little extra in the way of accessories. A classic boutonnière comprised of off-white roses and extended stems finishes off the look nicely.

Rustic Thistles

We absolutely adore a little rustic touch to an otherwise formal fête. This blue thistle and rosemary boutonnière is simple and eye-catching.

Mustache Pin With Dried Wheat

What's a wedding without a little personality? This harvest-themed boutonnière of dried wheat and pastoral flowers gets a little pizazz with a mustache pin.

Peach Ranunculus and Silver Brunia

This boutonnière of a single peach ranunculus and silver brunia highlights the fact that peach tones and silvery greens are quite complementary. We especially like the unique, duo-chrome approach to ribboning off the medley in silver and black.

And THIS one, you have not LIVED until you have smelled a Sweet Autumn Clematis. It is indescribable. Sweeter than any candy. You might notice that white flowers, in order to stand out to pollinators, produce a stronger scent than those more vibrant. And Sweet Autumn Clematis is unrivaled. (It is how it got the name.) It is invasive in places, but however naturalized in Eastern parts of the U.S.

Flowers and Official abrina Carpenter Espresso Shirt ornamentals that have grown well at our place include lupine, tansy, golden rod, perennial sweet pea, Queen Anne’s lace, prairie mallow—and a whole host of other beautiful native wild flowers, also phlox, daisy, lilies and day lilies, (the Easter lily I planted regularly grows to 5 or 6 feet high), hostas (for some reason, deer don’t seem to bother the hosta until the fall when I’m happy to have them trim down the plants for me), autumn clematis, autumn crocus, iris, peony, and sunflowers, which do well, but usually bloom after we’ve left. Again, these are plants that do well on their own. I uncover, weed around them at the beginning of summer and then leave them to grow and bloom on their own while I swim, hike, read—vacation home!

A bouquet has been left outside Gale's tent: clematis, blue hyacinth, snowdrops

Call him a romantic, but there has always been a draw to those growing months. He adores the fragrance of the gardens and the waking in his bedsheets soaked tenderly with sun. He would idle in the birdsong, savoring his liquor over symphonizing bees, and the stretch of those weeks in this reckless, sprawling season... There are few hours, he would wager, that would soothe like spring.

And now, stirring at last, this dreamer of a wizard finds that love still bold.

Oh. He eyes the bouquet, surprise, sweet and soft both, freckling his smile like a gust in warm glades. Who knows who'd prepared this, well, mesmerizing bundle of dreamy, gushing hues. Still, Gale gladly accepts it, catching a lingering whiff of this early-spring bunch, but whoever done this, he reckons, had surely thought of him longly. Mind you, he so loves his purples. And, yes, blues, too.

But mysteries are still welcome, Gale eying them again as he reads in the night.

Eventually, he slips them between his pages, preserving their beauty between sonnets and limericks. Here, Faerûn turns its shades, all pinks to emeralds to more autumnal golds and reds. How it tempers his torment to pry a book that bleeds hyacinth... Well, more reason to never dogear a manual, he supposes. The wizard sets to reading. He's all clematis and snowdrops.

Story of my favourite flower, unexpectedly!

Monologic_virgo_reader My favourite flower- Sweet Autumn Clematis. In India, it’s called Indian traveller’s joy. In Odisha, we call it “Idiya”. I love the smell of this flower, generally scented in evening, late afternoon or early morning. It’s also because I am August born, it’s said that this shrub blooms only in August and September and people born in these two months like it a lot. Might be…

1 & 2. Mrs. Anne Vyne Tillery Renshaw - author, poet, 2nd Vice Prez of UAPA & co-editor (with Lovecraft) of the UAPA's Credential.

3. Vyne's book is usually described as a work of general history but, nothing could be further from the truth.

It's actually a collection of her general poetry - most being no more than a page long.

Most of her poems are on Nature but, among them are interesting selections like:

A. "Night Visions" about myriad dream potions, being swept from reason & the network of fancy.

B. "Ghosts" with lights flickering out, goblin sounds & 'haunts' to keep kids in bed.

C. "Burial Of Dreams" has a dream- land, the murderous hand of time & lightning revealing the ghost of 'my' soul!!

D. "Could We But Know" of hidden treasures, mystic regions & spirit lands beyond.

E. "Heart Of Hunger" suffers from fancies of love a-thirst but, is actually a lost soul in a lonely Hell.

F. "A Void" with autumnal death, a new grave & our barren wastes.

Pics: Some dark humor to light the hard way forward - now that Prez Biden has stepped away from the Election...

Only 2 of the jokes can be considered true "cosmic horrors."

HPL: 1915 Output -

"A Mississippi Autumn", Part 2.

Text:

"... Striving soul, in... madness bound,¹ Renews the harvest of (our) annual round,

... Find(ing) in (seasons') death &... birth... Sign(s) of promise for (a) laboring earth.²

Late... summer from the eastern sky With treasures came³ (&) coldly passed us by.

... Fragrant roses &... feathered train, The... laughter of... moon struck Swain,⁴

Each... blessed boon the summer gave, That now, unburdened, seeks it's western grave.

Rose petals for a few; thorns for the rest: For some... bird song; now, (an) empty nest.

Some hail the end with welcome... relief, Some cling with tears of... grief.

Some with... glad content⁵ (ask) the season speed; And some with sorrow scan the fading weed(s).

Where late... rainbow blossoms lined the path, Behold the pallor of the aftermath:

Expiring summer, with... brilliant rays, Draws (its) last breath in (a) gorgeous blaze.⁶

How rich a shroud⁷... pensive autumn weaves, With fox grape purple (&) ... tinted leaves,

... Crimson dogwood &... sassafras, ... Gums & goldenrod... grace the mass.⁸

Chrysanthemums... crowd the open... door And see (a) season soon to be no more;

While... wild clematis,⁹ in (its) sacred state,¹⁰ ... Clasp(s) his throat; (a) rosary¹¹ of fate.

Like holy candles,¹² ... burning by, ... Towering reeds... watch the summer die,

And fragrant lavender, (an) incense rare, ... Lends its sweetness to... sighing air.

Earth gains the rest that frosty breezes bring, And stilled in slumber, waits (for) the sun of spring."¹³

Footnotes:

1. The "striving soul" is the dutiful farmer(s) who doesn't "lament... the... revolving year."

In fact, farmers depend on the changing seasons to know when to plant & when to "renew... the harvest."

"In... madness bound" is the part that I don't understand yet.

Unless one looks at the harvest as a sort of 'sacrifice' by Mother Earth & farmers are seen as 'her priests.'

2. This is another bad analogy - it's the farmers who labor to have the ground grow what they want...

Earth, without help, can make even deserts 'green.'

(See the prehistory of the Sahara...)

3. Cooler days & dryer air - away from the tropics, of course?

Definitely few hot nights...

(See #13 for the reason.)

4. Since this isn't a love poem, I'd skip the "young suitor" meaning & pick the older "country youth" - especially "a (mad) peasant."

("Moonstruck" =s "mad, loony." As in "unable to think or act normally - because of being 'affected' by the moon.")

5. Huh?!

The synonym for glad is "content, happy."

Howard used both - next to each other...

Perhaps, HPL meant "glad serenity" or "glad satisfaction"?

6. Though "blaze" usually describes a "fiercely burning fire."

It can also mean "to shine powerfully."

7. This "shroud" is actually the leafy biomass that serves as a sort of coating during the winter.

And, as a basic 'fuel' for the growth of new greenery during spring.

The ancient cycle of life...

8. This is not the biomass.

Rather, it's the main act of worship in most Christian churches.

But, this is a mass of Nature!

And different trees stand in for human worshippers...

9. Clematis is better known as the Leather flower!

It is mildly poisonous & so, deer proof.

Clematis blooms best in full sun & loamy soil.

And grows from late winter to mid fall.

10. The 'sacred state', of the clematis plant, refers to its 'spiritual' meaning.

White clematis symbolizes "purity & fresh starts."

It 'supports' the "cleverness" of artists, musicians & philosophers!!

Furthermore, clematis is the herbal 'medicine' used for joint pain, gout, headaches, syphilis, etc...

11. Sorry, not the rosary plant.

Instead, this rosary is used - by Catholics - to count prayers & to focus upon the deeper meaning of praying.

Strangely enough, rosary beads weren't mentioned in the Bible!

In fact, Jesus' followers didn't use them.

But, rosaries were used by the Greeks, Buddhists, Hindus, etc...

They aren't supposed to be used like necklaces!!

12. Holy candles symbolize prayers offered in good faith.

They show reverence to the church & the acceptance of God's will.

And, can be lit during particularly hard or trying times.

Votive candles, however, honor a Saint & so, are used to pray for the dead.

They signify that a vow has been fulfilled.

13. Seasons occur because the Earth is tilted some 23 degrees in its orbit around the sun!

This causes sunlight to fall with a different impact on different areas of our planet.

Northern Earth has the most direct light during May to July & so, it's summer then.

For Southern Earth, their summer occurs from November thru January.

There's a theory that Theia (another planet!!) crashed into Earth, creating the moon & the Earth's tilt!!

This Mars sized planet - from the Kuiper Belt (outer 'asteroids') - was mostly vaporized...

Or, was it?!

Geologists think that they've found pieces of it!

There's 2 blobs of dense material in Earth's lower mantle.

One under Africa, the other under the Pacific Ocean!!

Hmm...

Our planet keeps getting stranger.

End.

Maybe Autumn is my favorite season. The sweet autumn clematis and the clouds of insects around the goldenrod? Muah. Fucking unparalleled.
