How to choose the groom’s boutonniere
ď‚› The groom boutonniere is a little flower arrangement that is worn on the grooms dress lapel. The word comes from the French word for buttonhole, which is the British term. Usually it takes the same elements as the bride's bouquet but is not always made out of flowers. Its design may include design greens, crystals, ribbons, ultimately is a matter of taste. ď‚› Usually, the wedding floral decoration goes on the same style and floral species, usually two or three types of flowers accompanied by foliage or greens which are used throughout the event, from these species, the groom should choose the ones that seem more suited to his personality.
 It is possible that the groom does not like wedding flowers; in these cases florists should offer an alternative as foliage/ green plants. But this is not the only alternative.  The boutonniere can also be made from materials such as fabrics, glass, floral tape, it depends on the creativity of the groom. Among the strangest that I’ve seen, are pair of dice on a concept Las Vegas wedding; a Darth Vader Lego version, a pin, skulls, golf clubs and even a heart made out of cloth.
Tips and hints on choosing it 1. First of all, think about the design of the boutonniere. If you do not have a lot of artistic skills draw it before you take a trip to the florist, so you can be advice when buying. 2.

Choose flowers that are resistant, you will manipulate them a lot, they should stand the storm without spoiling. Ask the florist the best way to care for your arrangement. Depending on the type of flower you'll have to do it one way or another. 5. Buy several kinds of flowers for you to choose the one you would like at the time. 6. If the best man and the witnesses are going to carry on, choose flowers of the same color but different from the groom. They should be small and simple. In this case the central character is him.
