  • why is it that i see some guys wear it on their pocket area? like the place where they're supposed to place the pocket square does anyone know?? please help !

  • Ask your florist to use the new BoutStix magnet sticks! It is what they use on the Bachelorette show! tada!  You tube it!

  • Thanks so much for posting this! I love watching the video!

  • Why do you pin the boutonnière? Traditionally boutonnières were always worn pushed through the lapel buttonhole (boutonnière itself is derived from the french for buttonhole) and held in place by a boutonnière latch about two inches below the buttonhole on the reverse side of the lapel.

    One should never pin a boutonnière, especially if real flowers are used rather than the silk ones shown in the video. Piercing the stem with a pin would leave unsightly marks on one's jacket lapel.

  • I was surprised to hear that you don't put it through the buttonhole. I just finished reading a whole article on a website that said you should never pin it on. The buttonhole was originally intended for the stem of the flower to go through it and there is supposed to be a thread behind the lapel to hold the stem in place. The article even suggested having a tailor put a thread in if there wasn't one there already.

  • Gollum's doing pretty well for himself these days, pinning boutonnierre's properly and what-not.

  • i thought men always were it on the right hand side

    ahhh im so confused! prom is just in 2 weeks!!!
