Uses for Boutonniere Pins

A boutonniere is a floral decoration worn by men, typically a single flower or bud. Traditionally, a boutonniere was worn pushed through the lapel buttonhole (on the left, the same side as a pocket handkerchief) and the stem is held in place with a stem loop at the back of the lapel. The boutonniere pin, however, is a decorative holder for the boutonniere that is made in black or silver. While worn frequently in the past, boutonnieres are now usually reserved for special occasions for which formal wear is standard, such as at proms, graduations, homecomings, funerals, and weddings.

The wedding tradition of the groom wearing a boutonniere originates in medieval times when a knight wore his lady's special colors (through flowers) as a statement of his love. Boutonniere pins offer the perfect accent to any flower the bride decides to carry in her bouquet. These treasured wedding items make it easy for the groom, the father of the groom and all the ushers to pin on the lapel of their tux.

Proms are also a special occasion where formal wear is required. All the ladies will be wearing their best gowns or dresses and the guys spiffed up in their tuxes or suits. The boutonniere pin can be used to dress up your formal wear and provide a nice holder to coordinate with the corsage of the lady. You can also have your pin engraved to create a wonderful memory of your high school prom.

Also graduation season is fast approaching. Do you have a son, grandson or nephew that will be graduating? Do you have or know someone that will be Valedictorian, Salutatorian, Class President or speaking at graduation? Make them stand out by pinning on a boutonniere pin on the lapel of his formal wear with flowers in the high schools colors. Create a fond memory by having it engraved with his name, initials and date.

Here are instructions to pinning on a boutonniere:

• Before pinning it on, make sure that any greenery, such as leaves or ferns, are in the back, and the flower is in the front.
• Pin the boutonniere on the mans left side (that means go to your right).
• Place the boutonniere so that the flower is on or just below the broadest part of the lapel.
• Put the pin so the head is under the lapel, and push the point through, over the boutonniere, and back under the lapel on the other side.
• Make sure that it stays, and you're all set!

So whichever occasion you will be needing a boutonniere for make sure you have a boutonniere pin. Not only will they provide a decorative accent for the pretty flower it houses but they also make for a special keepsake when the event is all over.
