White Boutonnieres
White Boutonnieres look very elegant against a dark tux. My first advice to the bride is to always make the groom's boutonniere a little nicer than the others. My second advice is to use a flower for the boutonniere that matches something from the bridal bouquet.
Stephanotis BoutonniereStephanotis need to be attached to a stephanotis stem (which has a special head that you soak in water and push up into the calyx of the flower). It provides a water source to the blossoms. Always spray with Crowning Glory and don't handle the blooms any more than necessary or they will wilt!
Star of Bethlehem and Hypericum BerriesThis ribbon wrapped white boutonniere can pass for either a corsage or a boutonniere. It is made with Star of Bethlehem and green hypericum berries. Again, always coat every bloom with a flower sealant. I always add more than one boutonniere pin to every flower - you will really be glad you did when you go to pin them on!
Double Dutch Tulip BoutonniereThese white double dutch tulips are so pretty as a wedding boutonniere. They are accented with green hypericum berries. 
French Cuff Tulip BoutonniereThis type of boutonniere has a special ribbon wrap called a "French Cuff". Using a wider #9 satin ribbon, you wrap the stemfrom the sides and secure with pearl headed pins. Snip theends of the ribbon into a point. 
White Freesia BoutonniereThis unique boutonniere is two or three freesia blooms rolled up into a salal leave. You use Oasis Floral Adhesive to attach the blooms to the leaf. 
Dendrobium Orchid BoutonniereWhite boutonnieres made from dendrobium orchids must be handled with care. These delicate blossoms can brown from the oils on your hands. Note the decorative backing of satin ribbon and the bead pick. This boutonniere is also glued with Oasis Floral Adhesive. 
Stephanotis BoutonniereA single stephanotis bloom is used for this boutonniere. It is backed with myrtle leaves and accented with decorative wire and bead. This is such a quick boutonniere to make! 
White Rose BoutonniereThis flower boutonniere is a classic - an elegant white rose. Accented with green hypericum berries and variegated pittosporum, it is a solid choice every time! 
White Calla Lily BoutonniereWhite boutonnieres made from miniature calla lilies run as a great favor among today's brides as well! Keep the trimmings simple and let the elegance of the flower speak for itself! This boutonniere is wrapped with a stem of lily grass and secured with Oasis Floral Adhesive.
