Personal Flower FAQs

What side do I wear my flowers?

The traditional side you wear personal flowers is the left side of the body—left lapel or left wrist—so when you are dancing, each partner’s flowers are on the opposite side when facing each other and don’t touch.

What do I do with my flowers before my event?

Store personal flowers on the door or in the front of a refrigerator until it’s time to go! The back of the fridge can be too cold and freeze the flowers. Keep box away from extreme temperatures—heat or freezing.

What do I do if my wrist is tiny and my corsage bracelet is too big?

If you have an elastic bracelet or band, simply slide your corsage up farther on your arm to give it stability. If you have a metal cuff style bracelet, you can gently pinch it tighter on your wrist.

Can I wear my bracelet after my event?

Absolutely! The flowers are secured to the beaded or rhinestone bracelet with thin ribbons. Carefully snip the thin ribbons attaching the flowers to the bracelet and enjoy your new piece of jewelry!

Boutonnieres…

Where do I pin the boutonniere?

A boutonniere is traditionally worn on the left lapel. Often times there’s stitching for a “buttonhole” at the top of the left lapel. Historically the stitching would reveal a buttonhole that a bloom would be stuck through to create a boutonniere. Today there is no functional buttonhole, but the boutonniere is pinned on top of the stitching for placement.

How many pins do I use?

Each boutonniere comes with two pins. Pin the boutonniere from the back side of the lapel, and if it feels like it needs more support, use the second pin to secure it further.

 My pocket square boutonniere is too tall for my pocket

Your pocket square boutonniere is designed for the florals to sit along the top of your pocket as if the flowers are simply growing out of the suit. If the base of the pocket square is showing above the pocket, simply trim the bottom of the pocket square plastic base with a pair of scissors small amounts at a time until the right height is reached.

Pacemakers + Magnets

A magnetic boutonniere should never be worn by someone with a pacemaker.
