How to Pin on a Boutonniere

by Anne

Okay, so the moment you have all been waiting for! Here is the secret on how to pin on a Boutonniere. Very valuable information if you ask me…

1. Make sure that you have 2 bout pins. Take the first pin and push it in and back out of the mans left lapel:

2. Then push the pin upward into the stem, but not back out. The point of the pin should be safe inside the stem so no one will get hurt :-)

3. Repeat on the other side of the flower, with your 2nd pin:

And it should end up looking like this:

And I  promise it wont fall off, or tip to the side, or look stupid! YAY!

i haven’t pinned one on anyone since my prom 9 years ago (i crafted one for my date using candy, he made me a corsage of wildflowers)
but next time, i will know. it’s like tying a tie. you may not wear them, but it’s good to know :)
