HOW TO PIN A BOUT

A boutonnière is one of the hardest things to pin (and spell!), I’m spilling all of my tips on the best way to pin a bout so it stays put on your big day…

RIBBON KNOT IN THE BACK

All Boutonnières have a knot to secure the stems, be sure that knot is at the back, against the lapel.

LEFT LAPEL{YOUR LEFT} PLACEMENT

This is the best placement location for photos!

ONE PIN DOWN & ONE PIN UP

The goal is to have your boutonniere very secure, so that it stays put during all those hugs and dancing!

• 1. We like to use two pins, the first going through the back of the lapel down through the stem of the bout.

• 2. The second should enter from the bottom and go up through the stem and back out the back of the lapel

TO RECAP - Keep the ribbon knot in the back. Place on the left lapel and secure with one pin coming down from the top and one pin coming up from the bottom, both through the stem.

HOW TO HOLD YOUR BOUQUET

Wedding bouquets, bridal bouquets (whatever you may call them) are stunning arrangements I take so much pride in creating. They are one of the main focal points in a wedding. Your bouquet will be one of the floral arrangements that get photographed THE MOST and it can be tricky to understand how to properly hold one. So, I'm going to give you tips on how to make sure your beautiful flowers always have the best angle and compliment your bridal beauty…

KEEP THE PINS TOWARDS YOUR BODY

All bouquets have a front and a back, so make sure you hold it with the front facing forward. Pins in the back, show-stopping blooms in the front.

HIDE THOSE STEMS

Hold the stems towards your body and angle the front of your bouquet down.

HOLD YOUR BOUQUET AT YOUR BELLY BUTTON

You want your gown and hair and makeup to shine! Our florals and designed to compliment those. So holding your bouquet at your belly button (although it may feel odd) is the best way for your photographer (AND GROOM!) to capture your wedding day beauty.

TO RECAP - Keep the pins towards your body, hold at your belly button with bold florals in the front, and angle the bouquet front down (so the stems are towards your body). Easy as that!
