When it comes to the little details, nothing pulls a wedding look together like thoughtfully chosen wedding boutonnieres and corsages. These small floral touches highlight the bridal party while tying in with your overall theme, colours, and style.
Start with the colour palette
Your boutonnieres and corsages should complement your wedding colours. Whether you’re going for soft pastels, bold jewel tones, or seasonal blooms, coordinating these details with the bridal bouquet and table arrangements ensures a cohesive and polished look.
Consider the style and personality of each wearer
Boutonnieres don’t all have to be the same, and neither do corsages. For example, the groom’s boutonniere may feature a standout bloom or a special accent, while groomsmen can have simpler variations. Similarly, mothers and grandmothers can wear wrist corsages, pin-on options, or small bouquets that match their outfits without overshadowing them.
Think about placement and comfort
Pinning your boutonniere on the left lapel is traditional, and wrist or pin-on corsages should be comfortable to wear throughout the day. Talk to your florist about secure fastening methods to prevent slipping or wilting.
Mix traditional and modern touches
Classic roses and greenery always work well, but modern options like succulents, berries, or even dried flowers add texture and a contemporary twist. Coordinating these elements with other floral décor creates harmony across the wedding party.
Top Tips for Perfect Coordination
Share your colour palette and theme with your florist early on.
Keep boutonnieres and corsages in water or a cool space until the ceremony.
Ensure pins or wristbands are secure for all-day wear.
Don’t forget to match the style to each person’s outfit and role.
With careful planning, your wedding boutonnieres and corsages will enhance your wedding party’s look, adding charm and elegance to every photo.
