Let's Make a "Boutonnière" to Put in the Groom's Chest Pocket♩

While you can order the bouquet and boutonnière from the flower shop at the wedding venue, more brides are increasingly opting to make their own boutonnières these days◎

Making a bridal bouquet can be challenging, but since the boutonnière is small, it’s easier to create.

☑ You can use artificial flowers or preserved flowers, so you can keep them.

☑ It can be easily made together with your partner.

☑ It's easy to incorporate his preferences.

There are so many benefits♡

So, how do you go about making a boutonnière?

Here’s how to do it♩

《How to Make a Boutonnière》

First, create the flower parts for the boutonnière♩

The flower parts involve making holes in the artificial flowers you want to use, threading wire through them, and wrapping them with vinyl tape.*

Once the flower parts are made, assemble them, secure them with vinyl tape, and wrap ribbon around them to finish♩

If you want to make it more glamorous, it’s recommended to decorate the lower part of the flowers with ribbon◎

The length of the part that goes into the pocket (the handle) should be between 5cm to 10cm, depending on the flower volume and the length of the suit pocket.

If the handle is too short, there’s a risk it could fall out when bowing due to the weight of the flowers, so make sure to have a sufficient length below the center of the pocket♩

Next, let’s introduce some handmade boutonnières from experienced brides♩
