Boutonniere Slideshow

Corsage or boutonniere supplies are available in my Wedding Supply store. You will find cool items like corsage lights, bling bling and more.

Wedding boutonnieres are not that difficult to make, but they should be made no more than one or two days ahead.

Since the stem is cut and no longer drawing a water source, be sure to mist throughly with a flower sealant such as Finishing Touch to be sure they stay fresh throughout your wedding day! Keep lightly covered with tissue or loose plastic and place in refrigerator until your ceremony.

Note . . .many refrigerators are colder towards the back. Take care that the flowers are not allowed to be subject to freezing temperatures!
