The definition of a boutonnieres is “A flower or small bunch of flowers worn in a buttonhole.” First question that pops up in one’s mind is … is it not out of fashion for a groom to wear a buttonhole?Immediately I would say NO. Not all grooms will choose to wear a flower buttonhole but there are so many other types of ideas for buttonholes. You can either go for a themed buttonhole, maybe something old, something funny… the list is endless. We are going to help you decide on a buttonhole - by showing you in the next few weeks a few tutorials on how to make your own buttonhole for you wedding.For a little bit of inspiration – look at the design board with ideas on flower buttonholes and buttonhole alternatives.
Men should wear buttonholes on their lefts side just above the heart. It would be best if you can pin the buttonhole on the underside of the lapel so that you would not see the pin afterwards. If you do use a special pin with a diamante or pearl – you can consider to pin on the top part of the lapel. It will then be part of the beauty of the buttonhole.Who needs to wear a boutonnier at a wedding?

A note from “The art of manliness” to
the groom and his groomsmen:
Wear It with Confidence –
Do not be afraid to be an individual. Wear a boutonniere because you want
to.
Pay Attention to Proportion –
If you’re a small man, wear small flowers. If you’re a large man,
consider something that is more befitting your size.
Never Upstage the Ladies –
A boutonniere is a single flower or a small collection of tiny blooms; never
wear something unwieldy.
