A single calla lily takes center stage in this boutonniere, wrapped with graceful greens and a ribbon that adds a line of color against the white bloom. It is a clean, modern take built for a man who wants something sculptural rather than a cluster of small flowers pinned to a lapel.
Calla lilies read equally well at a black-tie wedding or a prom, since the shape stays graphic instead of fussy. The petal has a waxy sheen that holds up under photos and doesn't wilt as fast as thinner flowers.
Fresh flowers are hand-tied in our studio and pinned before they leave, a family tradition here since 1903. Order online or call ahead for pickup, and ask about matching corsages for the rest of the group. Our designers can also build a matching corsage if you need the two to coordinate.
We started making calla lily boutonnieres after a bride asked for something that would not compete with her calla lily bouquet or the bridesmaids' bouquets, sometimes called bouts in our shop, carried down the aisle. The single stem felt architectural next to a groom's suit, so we kept the design spare: one flower, simple greens, one ribbon. It has become one of our most requested boutonnieres for modern ceremonies nationwide.
Here's a closer look at what's included with every order, from the flower itself to how it's displayed and worn.
What's Included: Wedding Boutonniere and Pocket Square Pairing: Each set includes one calla lily boutonniere, sometimes just called a bout in the shop, with graceful greens and a ribbon wrap in your choice of accent color. The cost per piece stays the same no matter how many you request, one or a dozen, so feel free to add extras to your cart.
Calla Lily Colors: The classic look uses a pure white calla lily, an old symbol of elegance, though we also work with blush, burgundy or pale yellow depending on what's in stock that week, all at the same price. Greens stay simple and it works with most ties, so the flower itself does the talking.
Sizes & Presentation: The single calla lily stem carries one price no matter how many you need, from one up to several dozen for the full lineup. Sized to sit at the right height on a standard lapel, it never feels heavy, even by the end of a long reception.
Groom's Boutonniere for the Wedding Party: Whether it's just the groom or the entire wedding party, each boutonniere carries the same price per piece. That covers groomsmen, attendants, fathers, the ring bearer, and the officiant, who's easy to overlook until the day of; ask your florist to add one so nobody gets skipped. Add them all to one cart alongside the bridal bouquets and everything arrives together.
Pickup and Wedding-Day Delivery: Reserve online for pickup near you, or call ahead if your date is close. For a full group, ask about delivery to the venue, or add the whole wedding party to your cart at once if that's easier.
A typical count covers groomsmen, ushers, fathers, and the officiant, though we always suggest one or two spares. Add as many as the group needs and the per-piece price stays the same throughout.
Yes, just ask our florist team. We can add matching corsages and centerpieces to your cart for the mothers, grandmothers and guest tables, keeping every cart price consistent so nobody gets skipped.
