For many years, the groom's boutonniere was a plain afterthought to the bride's bouquet.  Recent wedding trends show that the groom's flowers are becoming more elaborate and dressy.  One way which boutonnieres are becoming more elaborate is by making them in a filigree boutonniere holder.  We've featured filigree boutonniere holders in a previous post, and for the Butler Days Inn Winter 2007 Bridal Extravaganza, we decided to bling ourselves out a bit.

The boutonniere below features green hypericum berries, a purple Florigene Moonshadow mini-carnation and loops of beargrass accented with a swatch of lavender ribbon.  The boutonniere holder is attached to the coat magnetically.  Approximate price is $25-$35.
