Buttonhole Inspiration

Wedding etiquette states that the groom, the best man, ushers, fathers of the bride and groom should wear a buttonhole as well as other important members of the wedding party such as grandparents and paige boys.

The choice is endless when deciding what flowers to use for buttonholes:

• Co-ordinating the flowers with the general theme of your wedding
• Complementing the colours used in your wedding
• Flowers that the groom likes
• Flowers that are in season and easily available or inexpensive
• Herbs such as lavender or even vegetable leaves/blossoms!
• Inclusion of feathers, lace, ribbons...
• Button buttonholes are all the rage too!

Wedding Style Guide searched their archives from Real Weddings to find images of the finest buttonhole inspiration.

Love this one from Nic's Button Buds! You could put a picture of a family member such as grandparents who have passed over but you want them to be remembered on the day. So perfect to place them close to your heart on such a special day!
