Create a Simple Boutonniere for a Wedding or Prom

The purpose of a boutonniere is to add an elegant touch to a man's suit jacket or formal coat.  Create a simple boutonniere using a flower that matches the occasion, your dates attire, or a flower from your bride's bouquet.

Boutonniere's can be made from real flowers or silk.  I chose to make my boutonniere from a real carnation.   Carnations are hardy and will stay looking fresh for a long time.  Other flowers that, I think, work great for boutonnieres are orchids and roses.
