Boutonniere Cost

Typical costs:

• Fresh flower boutonnieres average $10 to $20.
• Inexpensive boutonnieres featuring fresh carnations, daisies or alstroemeria typically start at $5.
• Moderate fresh boutonnieres made with fresh roses (a popular choice) fall in the middle range, from $10 to $16.
• Expensive boutonnieres with fresh flowers like Calla lilies and Gerbera daisies usually cost $16 to $25.
• Silk flower boutonnieres typically range from $6 to $15. Made of artificial materials, silk boutonnieres do not wilt; however, they may not look as realistic as fresh flowers in person or on film. See How Much Do Silk Flowers Cost.

• Boutonnieres should include at least one focal flower, such as a rose bud or Calla lily.
• A groom's boutonniere may be more elaborate than flowers worn by the groomsmen, perhaps featuring two or more focal flowers.
• Filler material like ivy leaf or baby's breath should be artfully attached to the back side of the boutonniere.
• Floral tape should be securely wrapped around the stem and a pearl-tipped corsage pin should be provided to attach the boutonniere to a man's lapel.
• A florist should show photos of actual boutonnieres in a specific color scheme and price range.

• If ordering online, expect to pay extra shipping for rush orders. Fresh flowers should be shipped overnight, which could cost as much as $75 for large orders.

• Ask the florist about special deals when ordering for a large wedding party. The groom's boutonniere might be free with a minimum order.

• Because fresh flowers wilt in the heat, pick up boutonnieres on the day of the event and keep them refrigerated until worn. MyWedding.com^[2] offers a florist locator by city, as does The Knot.com^[3] .And FTD^[4] takes orders online and fulfills them the same day through a local FTD affiliated florist.
• When ordering boutonnieres for a wedding party, make sure to account for the groom, groomsmen, ushers, fathers, grandfathers, ring bearer, special readers or musicians, and the officiant.
• For prom boutonnieres, it's a good idea to color-coordinate the flowers with the couple's formalwear. Traditionally, a female will order a boutonniere for her date, while her date orders a corsage for her to wear to prom.
• Not all flowers are created equal. When ordering roses, remember that they come in a wide range of sizes: a large rose can stand on its own, while miniature roses usually need to be grouped together to create a noticeable boutonniere.
• Specific flowers may cost more when ordered out-of-season. Consult the guide at Flowers by Mary Lynne^[5] for photos of popular wedding flowers, and ask the florist about the best blooms for the specific season--especially if planning the wedding on a budget.
