the boutonniereOne thing that I didn't think about at all AT ALL for my wedding was boutonnieres for the men in my life. It just didn't occur to me.

I am in charge of the vegetation the men will be sporting the day of the wedding. Weird concept when you think about it... But I won't think about it too long.

Often undervalued, these small delights add punch to the less flamboyant side of the wedding party. More than just a rose and a bit of greenery, today's boutonnieres can be ...
