๐ทThe buttonhole, also known as the “Button Hole” in English, is a fashion accessory traditionally worn by men for events such as weddings, ceremonies and parties. It usually consists of a flower or a small bouquet of flowers, attached to the buttonhole of the jacket.
๐ฟThe history of the buttonhole dates back to the late 19th century. Originally, it was an everyday accessory. But it quickly became a symbol of elegance; and in some cases, the flowers in the boutonniere were also used to send a message.
๐Nowadays, the boutonniere is a refined fashion accessory, often worn by the groom and his witnesses. It generally matches the bride’s bouquet, using the main colors. It’s small in size and reminiscent of the wedding theme. The colors of the groom’s boutonniere should also be in keeping with his overall attire, especially his shirt, pocketkerchief and tie.
