Boutonniere help needed

[shindeco]

I find that if I don't put the bulb through then the bulb becomes more prominent than the bloom which ends up sitting perpendicular to the jacket. Is there a way to avoid this? (I have seen the miniature carnations but was hoping for something a little more substantial.)

But also remember that, unless you're 6'7" or so, most people are going to look down to see the flower. The bulb will not be perceived as highly prominent unless they're much shorter than you.

You know what guys....

Hate to rain on the "Rose Parade" but, this is in the wrong room, this is being moved to General Attire...

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that such a discussion would evolve out side of the Powder room!lol

Great to hear from you again shindeco! Please check your Private Messages as I have been trying to follow up with you about my Black Tie book.

Yep, it's a grand book. Well illustrated. The trick is finding a florist who can prepare boutonierres ... or find a florist who knows what a boutonierre is ... or find a florist that actually knows anything about flowers ... or find a florist who won't burst out laughing at the thought of a man looking for a flower to wear in his lapel.
