Lapel Flower Pin & Boutonniere Basics - How To Find The Right One For You

About this video

The Gazette team explains the considerations for choosing boutonnieres, comparing real flowers to silk alternatives. They discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each option, and introduce their curated collection of hand-crafted silk boutonnieres designed to look authentic while offering practical benefits like durability and year-round wearability.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends wearing boutonnieres with stems rather than buttons, as stem-attached flowers look more authentic and natural on a lapel
• Real flowers offer authenticity but come with practical drawbacks including limited selection, wilting, potential staining, and the pressure to wear them even when unwanted
• The Gazette team argues that high-quality silk boutonnieres that mimic real flowers provide an alternative solution, offering durability, consistent appearance, and the ability to wear flowers year-round in any season or style
