Real vs. Fake: Which Boutonniere Flower is More Stylish?

About this video

The Gazette team compares natural and artificial flowers for boutonnieres, arguing that while real flowers offer natural beauty, they have significant drawbacks including rapid wilting, difficult preparation, inconvenience, and cost. They present their Fort Belvedere artificial boutonnieres as a superior alternative, explaining how high-quality silk and cotton handmade flowers offer longevity, variety, and better value while maintaining a realistic appearance.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that real flower boutonnieres wilt quickly, require expert preparation to look attractive on a lapel, and are expensive single-use items costing $10-20 each from florists
• The Gazette team contends that properly securing a boutonniere involves threading the stem through the lapel buttonhole on the reverse side with a keeper loop, not pinning it to the front as commonly seen at weddings
• The Gazette team recommends their Fort Belvedere artificial boutonnieres as handmade from 100% silk or cotton with metal wire stems, arguing they last years, avoid petal loss and allergen issues, and cost $35 ($30 with bulk discounts) per piece
