Alright guys. Normally your casual (read: XL NFL logo t-shirt, gym shorts and running shoes) sense of style is no problem, and your fiance probably isn't lying when she tells you it's "endearing." But this is your wedding we're talking about -- an event during which you will be stared at by hundreds of people, and photographed thousands of times. Plus, your wife-to-be will remember this day for the rest of her life, so you better look damn good.
I'll be honest, I didn't know what a boutonniere was until some close friends got married, and I heard the bride say it about 8,000 times when she was yelling at her brother (a groomsman) to shape up and buy one. At the time it seemed like a pointless detail, but now that I'm on the road to married-hood-dom, it's become yet another one of those weird little details I should be considering.
If you're also unfamiliar with this highly-specialized fashion accessory, you might not know where to start. For inspiration, check out this post on Brooklyn Bride, that, at the very least, can serve as inspiration.
