usually, a groom's boutonniere matches a bride's bouquet -- and why not, that makes complete sense after all. but i love these ideas because they show that boutonnieres can be different and more interesting, even in subtle ways. AND they don't always have to be flowers! (i'm obviously more drawn to those of a botanical persuasion.)the boutonnieres here are created from a mix of plants (that autumn leaf is cute), twigs, barley, what looks to me like a tiny cactus, and yes, even a piece of coral (if that doesn't spell beach wedding to you, then i don't know what does).
is it becoming more and more obvious that i'm not too crazy about flowers in general -- whether they be as boutonnieres or centerpieces (see previous blog)? aside from being typical, they're costly! and if they're not costly, well, they look like they're going to die...soon. so YES, here's to alternative boutonnieres, centerpieces, bouquets, what have you. i'm all for the use of paper, luminaries, wood, fruits and vegetation (yes, i said vegetation) -- there is no end to what you can use. and speaking of vegetation, here's one flower that i actually like -- the cabbage rose. it looks more like a cabbage to me than anything else. i used these at my own wedding. looking back, it might have been nice to use real cabbage too!
