What you need to know about wedding boutonnieres.
Auf welcher Seite trägt man den Anstecker?
The wedding boutonniere is always worn on the left side – on the lapel of the jacket, close to the heart. If your jacket has a buttonhole on the lapel, you insert the boutonniere directly behind it. Without a buttonhole, you simply attach it with the pin through the lapel fabric. Important: The boutonniere should point slightly upwards and not hang down – this is how the arrangement is shown to its best advantage.
Warum Trockenblumen statt frische Blumen?
Dried flowers have one crucial advantage: they last all day – and beyond. While fresh flowers wilt quickly in the heat and, in the worst-case scenario, leave stains on your suit, dried flower boutonnieres look perfect from the ceremony to the last dance. Plus, you can keep them as a keepsake. And you save yourself the stress of having to pick up the boutonniere from the florist on the morning of your wedding – simply order it in advance and start your big day relaxed.
Wer trägt alles einen Anstecker?
Traditionally, the groom wears the boutonniere as a symbol of recognition. However, best men, fathers of the bride, and close family members can also wear a boutonniere – this creates a unified look and demonstrates togetherness. Our boutonnieres are designed in a universal size that fits everyone. Simply order the desired quantity in the same or different colors, depending on your wedding theme.
Den Anstecker sicher befestigen
Our wedding boutonnieres are attached with a sturdy pin. Insert the pin from the back through the lapel fabric and back again – this ensures the boutonniere sits firmly and securely without slipping. Tip: Only grip the outer lapel fabric, not the entire jacket, so the pin remains invisible from behind. On high-quality suits, the fine pin leaves no visible marks.
Anstecker ohne Sakko tragen
No jacket? No problem. For a more casual wedding or in summer, you can also attach the pin directly to your shirt – ideally on the left breast. A pin can also be easily attached to suspenders , for example, to the strap at chest level. This way, the pin works even for vintage and boho weddings without a traditional jacket.
Die richtige Farbe wählen
Coordinate the boutonniere with the wedding colors – it should match the bride's bouquet or the groom's accessories. Subtle natural tones like cream, white, and sage green are timeless classics. For more colorful weddings, the boutonniere can also make a bolder statement. Our tip: The groom's boutonniere can definitely be different from those of the best man and guests – this way, he stands out as the center of attention.
Einstecktuch und Anstecker kombinieren
A lapel pin and pocket square can easily be worn together – in fact, they complement each other perfectly. The lapel pin sits on the lapel, the pocket square in the breast pocket below. Make sure that both colors harmonize, but they don't have to be identical. A white or cream-colored pocket square goes with almost any lapel pin and keeps the look elegant without being overdone.
Hochzeitsanstecker als Erinnerung
A major advantage of our dried flower boutonnieres: they're not just eye-catching on your wedding day, but also afterwards. Many couples keep the boutonniere as a memento – in a box, a picture frame, or in their wedding album. Unlike fresh flowers, dried flowers retain their shape and color for months and even years. A small detail that keeps the memory of your special day alive.
