Of course your wedding day flowers would not be complete without buttonholes and corsages, but where to begin?

Etiquette suggests a buttonhole for the groom, his best man and the rest of the male wedding party, a beautiful wedding corsage for the mothers along with any other integral female members of the wedding party - both are essential to the perfect wedding day.

It’s always important to look at as many pictures of buttonholes and wedding corsages as you can. You can build up your own extensive portfolio to give a wide variety of ideas to ensure that the buttonholes and corsages perfectly complement the wedding bouquet.

Beautiful Corsages

Corsages are normally larger than a buttonhole and can be made of the same or similar flowers as those in the bride's bouquet. The mothers of the bride and groom will wear corsages and so may the grandmothers and other important guests. Corsages can also be pinned to the lapel as with a buttonhole or alternatively worn on the wrist or attached to a handbag or purse.

Ideas for Buttonholes

Buttonholes link the theme of your chosen wedding flowers with your wedding guests and immediate family, and the groom's buttonhole is traditionally taken from the bride’s bouquet to symbolise sharing. From single or double bloom the options are endless and come down to personal choice as much as tradition and etiquette.

Buttonholes can be wired and stem wrapped with or without foliage, jewel decoration or simply on its own, an expert florist will only be too happy to listen to your needs and to create stylish button holes to suit the occasion - right down to the finest detail. 

Whatever your taste, buttonholes and corsages can help make your wedding day look complete and is worth spending time and effort in making the right floral choice.
