A boutonniere is the male equivalent of the female corsage.Theboutonniere is usually a collection of one or two small flowers, with perhaps an accent of a bit of baby’s breath or fern. Most often, the boutonniere is worn for formal occasions, such as the Debs. It is always pinned to the left lapel of the tuxedo or suit.
The boutonniere tends to be less expensive then the corsage, and they are actually one of the simplest floral arrangements to make. By ordering the boutonniere in advance, the female attending the Debs is able to discuss with her date what would be most pleasing. She is also able to suggest what her own colours will be. The couple may choose the flowers together, or the male has time to obtain a tuxedo that will best match his date’s dress and corsage colours.
