Red Rose Boutonniere

This is our answer for a groom who doesn't want to overthink it: one red rose, one leaf, done. We trim the stem short so it sits flat against the lapel, a small detail that sets it apart from a cooler-shelf pull. It's remained our best-selling boutonniere for weddings and prom.

One rose, hand-tied fresh, pinned and ready to wear on the day.

What's Included in This Wedding Boutonniere: Each one includes a single dark red rose with fresh greenery, wrapped and pinned so it's ready to wear straight from the box. We cut the flowers close to your order date rather than pull from old stock. Making it this way takes more time than a cooler pickup, but the results are worth it, ready to pin next to freshly pressed ties and jackets.

A True, Deep Red: This is a true red rather than pink or burgundy, chosen because it photographs well against both light and dark suits. Ask if you'd like it blended with white or blush instead, or paired with a boutonniere pin in silver or gold to match the rest of the look. The price stays the same no matter which shade you choose.

One Simple, Single-Stem Design: This is a single-stem boutonniere sized to sit at chest height without looking heavy. It's built to last through a full night of photos, dinner, and dancing. There's an easy elegance to this, nothing complex about one clean flower.

Pocket Square, Groomsmen, and the Rest of the Lineup: Order one for the groom and enough more for groomsmen, ushers, fathers, and a ring bearer. Don't forget the officiant, either. Many grooms match the rose to their tie, since it reads cleaner in photos. Add matching corsages, extra boutonnieres, bouquets, or centerpieces to the same order, and everything arrives together with the bride's flowers.

If Dark Red Roses Run Short: On the rare day a dark red rose isn't available close to your date, our designers substitute a comparable bloom of equal or greater quality, keeping the same look and size. It's part of a tradition our florist has followed since 1903.

Pickup and Wedding-Day Options: Reserve online for pickup at our studio, or call ahead if you'd like a custom arrangement. Ask about delivery straight to the venue. Man of honor or best man, the steps stay the same.

• Refrigerate it until about an hour before you need to wear it, away from direct heat.
• A boutonniere pin holds it in place and it should hold up fine through the reception.
• If a petal loosens late in the night, a quick trim keeps it presentable.
• Fresh flowers like this hold up better than most grooms expect.

• 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 do we need for the wedding party?

Most couples order one each for the groom, groomsmen, ushers, fathers, and the officiant. We build a few extras, and it's easy to add more later if the count changes. Some just call them bouts for short.

Can I request a different rose color?

Yes, just let us know. Our designers can shift this design to white, pink, or purple, and can build matching corsages for the mothers too. The cost stays the same across every shade we offer.
