The Art of the Boutonniere

The boutonniere is all about the details-a single gorgeous bloom, the right shade of silk ribbon, to bind the flower, a pearl button to secure it. The key is for it to appear masculine while also complementing the bride. So look for small flowers with a big presence. On a practical note, I suggest that every groom's boutonniere should be made twice-One to be worn during the ceremony and through the majority of the reception. After hugging a few hundred people, the blossoms will inevitably be battered and bruised. So the newly married man should don the second, crisp new stand-in (which should be stored under the cake table, so everyone knows where to find it) right before the couple cuts the cake and makes their toasts. What could be more 007 than to still be wearing a fresh-looking boutonniere as the dawn breaks?
