Wedding buttonholes and corsages by John Paul Florist

Groom's Buttonhole

It's traditional for the groom to wear a flower on the buttonhole of his lapel. Your best man, the ushers, and the fathers of the bride and groom usually also wear buttonholes. The groom can have the same design as everyone else, or choose something a little different in order to stand out.
