In the old days it was common for the bride and groom to wear a flower on their lapel, usually a rose or clove. Some stories tell that the medieval knights won a bunch of flowers from their beloved ones before any battle, as a sign of good luck, and tradition was being shaped. But this accessory really became fashionable when Prince Albert won from his bride, Queen Victoria, a bouquet of flowers on the day of her engagement. He didn’t know where to put it so he made a small cut on his lapel and introduced the arrangement. Thus, the tailors of the time began to include a small cut on the lapel of jackets so that flowers could be inserted.

Just as the veil is incorporated into the wedding dress models, the boutonnières have become customary for most bride and groom wear, and some more eccentric men have even put a flower on their lapel in casual attire as well.

The important thing is to find the one that best suits your personality and outfit. So, we’ll show you tips on how to choose one that looks perfect for your big day.

The flowers

Original arrangements
