When it comes to your groom's boutonniere, he may not be quite as excited to pick the flowers and colors as you are for your bouquet. Many times, whether out of ease or style, grooms and their groomsmen tend to choose traditional floral boutonnieres highlighting a classic rose in a shade of ivory or blush accented with some greenery; however, more and more grooms are selecting more unique options to wear on their lapels.
Your floral designer will likely have an idea of how to incorporate your wedding color palette into a stylish boutonniere, while also offering suggestions on how to highlight the groom's personality. If he doesn't like flowers, consider a boutonniere design using only foliage or alternative materials such as pearls, swirling wire, or even one of his beloved knickknacks. Should you need to include roses in your groom's boutonniere to complement the rest of your wedding flowers, consider adding another element – such as a hydrangea floret or thistle – to add a bit more style to the classic bloom.
For those grooms who don't want the average boutonniere, we've rounded up some photos from real weddings of floral boutonnieres that don't include any white roses. You'll find styles perfect for rustic weddings that are centered around foliage, designs ideal for garden weddings with the addition of thistles and herbs, and whimsical options with swirling details for more modern and playful celebrations. Browse the images below for inspiration, and be sure to visit our photo galleries to see more boutonnieres worn by real grooms and groomsmen!
