Dendrobium Orchid Boutonniere

We started wiring dendrobium orchids into boutonnieres for a groom who wanted his to echo his bride's orchid bouquet without repeating her exact flower. The small blooms scale down neatly and still hold their shape all day, which makes matching the rest of the wedding party simple. It's become a favorite for grooms who want something a little less expected than a rose.

Here's what comes with this tropical pick, from what's included to how pickup and delivery work.

What's Included With Each Boutonniere: Each one includes a single dendrobium orchid spray with a few smaller blooms and fresh greenery, wired and taped by hand so it's ready to pin the moment it arrives. It matches easily with a pocket square and looks sharp on the groom's boutonniere or anyone else in the wedding party.

Color and Style Notes: We keep the look soft and classic, so it pairs cleanly with almost any suit or tie, from traditional black to lighter tans and grays. It reads as a little more unexpected than a boutonniere rose without looking out of place next to one.

Size and Presentation: This is a compact, single-stem design, sized to sit neatly at chest height without looking bulky under a lapel or jacket.

Groom's Boutonniere for the Wedding Party: One boutonniere works fine for just the groom, or order enough to cover groomsmen, ushers, fathers, and a ring bearer, once he's old enough to keep a pin on straight. We'd suggest one for the officiant too, since that role tends to get overlooked. Order the whole lineup together and everyone matches, from the groom down to the last usher.

If a Dendrobium Orchid Isn't Available: If dendrobium orchids aren't available close to your date, our designers substitute a comparable bloom of equal or greater value, keeping the same tropical feel.

Pickup and Delivery for Your Wedding Day: Call our store for custom requests, or reserve online for pickup at our studio, with delivery also available near you. For a full wedding party, ask about delivery straight to the venue instead of waiting on pickup.

• Keep it refrigerated until you're close to putting it on, away from direct heat.
• A boutonniere pin holds it to the lapel without leaving a mark, and careful pinning is what gets you through a full day of photos without it slipping.

• Our designers may substitute stems of equal or greater value to guarantee freshness and fullness; the overall look and color palette of the design is always preserved.

How many boutonnieres should we order for the whole wedding party?

Most couples order one per groomsman, usher, father, and the officiant, plus a couple of extras in case someone forgets theirs at home. It's easy to add more to your order before checkout if your count changes.

Will the orchids wilt before the reception?

No. Dendrobium orchids are known for lasting a full day without water, so it should still look fresh by the time you're seated for dinner, whether that's a wedding reception or a prom.
