Things I’ve learned helping out the guys

It always comes in handy to know how to on the boutonnières for the wedding party and family. I thought that I would share as some people don’t get the same opportunities when it comes to adding flowers right before the beginning of the ceremony. The flower goes on the left lapel of the gentlemen. The blossom of the flower is placed to covers the faux slit in the jacket lapel. It is best to come in from behind of the lapel and pin the upper part of the stem so that most of the pin is in back and the only visible part of the pin is through the flower in front.

Always double check the flower as if it is not pinned correctly, the flower will fall/sag to the side. And we all know that looks very tacky in the wedding photos.
