Non Traditional Non Floral Boutonniere Tutorial

Since my bouquet and my bridesmaid’s bouquets are nontraditional and non floral there was no way the guys would be wearing flowers.From the very beginning of my wedding planning I proclaimed I would not haveany flowers! Don’t get me wrong I love fresh flowers but I always get so sad atthe end of a wedding and all the flowers either get dumped or you have to begpeople to take them home. Since 90% of my wedding is out of state or countrythere is no way they are taking a floral arraignment home! I messed around withdifferent styles and materials for my non floral bouquets and boutonnieres andthis is what I came up with!




Things you will need:

•      Ostrich Feathers
•     White Thin Malleable Floral Wire
•      Buttons
•      Hot Glue
•      Pin with a pearl head
•      Ribbon

Step 1:
Get your buttons and lay them out. Take your thin malleablefloral wire and leave a “steam”. Thread the wire through your buttons andthread the wire back down toward the steam and start wrapping the wire tightlyaround the steam. Use your pliers to make sure the buttons are firmly in placeand the wire is firmly wrapped. Make 4-5 button flowers for each boutonniere.


Step 2:
Get your ostrich feathers and cut them down to size.  Place your button flowers on top of yourfeather and position the steams and glue them down with your hot glue gun. Wrapyour ribbon around the base covering the glue and wrap it up the steam with the ribbon and glue it to the back of the boutonniere. 


Step 3:

With a pearl head pin push the pin through the ribbon and the boutonniere can be pinned to any suite jacket or tux.   
It is an easy as that! Thanks for reading and following!!
