Beautiful Boutonnieres
Boutonnieres by Zalea Weddings | Timeless Details with a Fresh Twist
Boutonnieres may be small, but they pack a serious punch when it comes to personal style. At Zalea Weddings, we believe these tiny floral accents should feel just as intentional and beautiful as any bouquet or centerpiece. Whether you're envisioning something classic, modern, playful, or bold, we handcraft each boutonniere with artistry, precision, and personality.
A Bit of History
The word boutonniere comes from the French word for "buttonhole flower," and these wearable blooms date back centuries. Originally worn to ward off bad luck or evil spirits, boutonnieres became a stylish tradition in the 19th century, especially during formal events like weddings, dances, and galas. Traditionally pinned to the left lapel of a suit jacket, they’ve evolved from a single carnation or rose to a diverse range of stylish floral options.

🌿 Floral Varieties for Boutonnieres
Today, anything goes when it comes to boutonniere design—as long as it's meaningful, well-composed, and designed to last the day (and night). Here are some of our favorite floral elements used in Zalea’s custom boutonnieres:
- Ranunculus – Soft, layered petals that feel romantic and refined. A favorite for modern weddings with a luxurious vibe.
- Spray Roses – Small, sturdy, and available in a wide range of colors, spray roses are a classic boutonniere choice.
- Scabiosa Pods – Earthy and textured, these make a statement in boho or mountain-style weddings.
- Billy Balls (Craspedia) – Bright and cheerful, these spherical yellow flowers add personality and a pop of fun.
- Thistle – Blue or silver thistle adds structure and a cool-toned, masculine feel with a hint of whimsy.
- Succulents – Trendy and long-lasting, succulents are perfect for eco-conscious couples or desert-inspired designs.
- Lisianthus Buds – Delicate and romantic, ideal for soft, neutral palettes.
- Eucalyptus, Olive, or Ruscus Greenery – A botanical base that brings movement, texture, and color balance.
- Dried Florals – From pampas to preserved ferns, dried elements are perfect for a more rustic or modern editorial look.
