Ok so I have my wedding flowers picked out.....?

I have finally picked out my wedding flowers and have got my bouquet already made, under my fiances approval of colors and the flower. I just thought about this though. My flowers are lavender to dark purple and Im not sure if my fiance is just telling me he doesn tmind wearing one as a boutinerre or if he really does mind and isnt saying anything. So brides would you be ok with your groom wearing this flower and color as a boutinerre?

They are a little lighter color in person as well.

I would be fine with it. I like the color!
Reply:those are my wedding colors. my fiance is pretty "manly" and if he didn't like it, he woud say so. idk if you are Christian, but purple is the Lord's color, just wanted to throw that in :)
Reply:They are totally fine, and would look great with a grey or charcoal suit/tux. Just make a stylish boutonniere out of them.

Reply:Why wouldn't they be ok? All flowers are inherently girly, to my knowledge, there are no masculine flowers. At least they aren't pink.
Reply:You know, the groom's boutonniere does not have to match. Give him a choice, white rose or carnation, or purple flowers.

Old school way gave the groom a white rose, and the groomsmen wore white carnations. And the bride almost always had a white bouquet, or white in it.

If your dress is white, he will still match you!
Reply:I think it fine, you should show it to him as well, but if he has pre-approved it i am sure he does not mind the colors. Just ask him if he is ok with it, maybe he just doesn't mind, or have any real preference.
Reply:yeah.. if you picked it out that is fine... the guy really doesn't mind the flower cause it's not what people are going to focus on.
Reply:These look like they are artificial flowers to me.



I sincerely hope that you are not using artificial flowers for the boutinere or the bridal bouquet or bridesmaids' flowers, I feel that doing so is tacky and without warmth.



As for the color, I don't think you fiance should feel effeminate or uncomfortable wearing such colors for his boutinere. However, I do wonder if the colors go well with what he plans on wearing fro the wedding ceremony and/or reception.



It is highly unlikely that your fiance would tell you that he does not mind when he actually does mind. I cannot picture him doing this under any circumstances other than to just shut you up for you to stop nagging him about all the wedding stuff in general.

Reply:This is perfect. It makes a really nice boutinerre. I don't think any guys actually like wearing any boutinerre.



Your bouquet sounds spectacular, good for you.



Congrats
Reply:I think they are pretty...and I am not sure what flower or color would be more masculine...maybe a pink rose? Haha...if you both like it why not?!
