How should I decide what kind of boutonniere to get?

Answer by  Aubs (1089)

It should match your dress, his suit, and your corsage. The best rule of thumb is for both of you to have similar flowers in the arrangement and similar colors.

A good place to start is by finding out what other people are wearing. If the boutonniere is for your prom date, ask her what color her dress is. If you're planning a wedding, match the boutonniere flower to the colors that will decorate the rest of the wedding. Choose a flower that will hold up over several hours.

The boutonniere should go with the rest of the group. For a prom or dance, whitw is always a good choice. Or if the tux has some color in it, go with a lighter shade of that color. For a wedding the boutonnieres should go with the color scheme of the wedding but a lighter shade.

The boutonniere should match the color and style of the girl's corsage and dress. Small and simple is usually the best bet so it doesn't get in the way.

First, you need to find out what your date is wearing so that the boutonniere's style and color match. Generally, go with something simple and not too large.

The kind of boutonniere to get should be based on what you and your guest (if you have one) will be wearing. You do not want the colors to clash. Also you don't want a flower that smeels bad. Some simple choices that go with just about anything include white flowers like a rose, freesia or a small orchid.

The type of boutonniere you choose is a personal decision. There are things to consider when choosing a boutonniere such as type of flower, color, and time of year. Depending on the time of year, if a certain flower isn't in season, it may be more expensive to get. Also, you should think about what you'll be wearing.

If the boutonniere is for a wedding,the flower should be one that is a part of, or at least be the same color as the brides bouquet. If it is for a dance, such as a prom, then it should be coordinated with the color of the girls dress.

Well it depends on how luxurious you want to be. If you don't want to spend that much money, then just opt for hershey kisses. If you want to go all out, then do something fancy.

I would imagine you would first need to know what the boutonniere is for. Is it for a prom or a wedding or what? Either way a good rule of thumb would be to make sure that he matches what you have weather it be the bouquet or the corsage.
