Pick Silk Flowers for Boutonnieres

"The next step is to come up with a boutonniere that goes with it. It is always better if you get them done at the same place and the same person doing them. If you are going to a prom it is the girls' responsibility to buy the boutonniere for the gentleman. It may not be exactly like this but you could explain to them that you are using stephanotis and a purple orchid with white ribbon and some greens and so what I would try to do is try to use the same type of flower, focal flower, that is in the corsage or you could just make a cluster of the small ones if the guy doesn't really want to wear a boutonniere. Right now today's trend in the market is that the guys' boutonnieres are as elaborate and as evolved as the corsage. It is no longer just throwing the carnation or a rose on your chest. It looks much more elegant and sophisticated if you create the two to match and look good together so the next thing you need to do is try to find out what the girl's corsage is and to work the boutonniere so that it matches it because you are going as a pair."
