Regular pinned on boutonnieres are so last year. There’s a new bout in town and you’re going to love this alternative to the pin-on type that are sharp, poke you, and never seem to stay up straight.

The pocket boutonniere is the solution you’ve been waiting for and I’m surprised it’s taken this long for an alternative to makes it appearance in the wedding world.

Instead of pinning flowers onto the lapel of your jacket, these flowers are crafted onto a type of acrylic card or sleeve that slides into your pocket.

If you’re ever pinned a boutonniere onto a lapel, it’s annoying to do and not the easiest task in the world. The pin is sharp, it often pokes the wearer and the person putting it on, and it barely ever stays up straight especially when taking photos.

Pocket boutonnieres, on the other hand, slide right into the pocket and have beautiful flowers that always stand upright.

And since they’re faux flowers or dried floral arrangements, there’s no wilting. No allergies. No need to keep chill them in water.

And when people go to hug you, the boutonniere won’t get smashed and flattened the way that traditional bouts often do.

It’s a whole thing.

Read on to find out more about pocket boutonnieres, where you can get them for your wedding, and the creative geniuses behind this amazing idea. Enjoy!

There are several places to get a pocket boutonniere, and the best part is… they’re not very expensive. Plus, since these are not fresh boutonnieres but faux flowers, you can order them early and set them aside for the wedding day. No need to refrigerate or spritz with water to keep it looking its best! Slide it out of the package and slip it into your pocket. It’s honestly so easy!

Here are the best places to get pocket boutonnieres you can slip right into your jacket to make getting ready a breeze. Plus, you’ll find out how to easily turn any ordinary bout into one of these and make your own in a pinch.
