 How to make a boutonnière for the Groom

The groom's boutonniere flower is usually selected from the flowers in the bride's bouquet. Have him pin it over his heart on his left lapel.

Look for all kinds of small wonderful things to glue inside, (like a love note) where only he will notice and smile.
Have fun with this. He will love whatever you make for him.
Materials needed:
To Make:
o Cut stems to
6" long. Arrange flower on bed of leaves.
o Secure stems together with thin floral wire.
o Place green tape at top of stems underneath flower and stretch the tape as
you twist it around the stems. It will stick to
itself.
