How to Pin on a Boutonniere

The day that you have been waiting for is here!  After your date arrives to pick you up (looking handsome in his tuxedo from Vittorio’s) and hands you your beautiful corsage, you must tackle his boutonniere. While this may seem intimidating, it can be done easily in a few simple steps.

1. Before you pin it on, make sure that the flower is in the front with all of the greenery arranged behind it.
2. Pin the flower on your date’s lapel or just outside the broadest part of the lapel on his left side, which is to your right.
3. Place the head of the pin under the lapel and push the point through the coat, into the boutonniere and back through the coat.
4. Make sure it hangs straight, and you are good to go!
