Boutonnieres & Corsages, Made to Match

The small pieces that finish the picture

Every bride plans her bouquet. The boutonniere is often decided in the last week, as an afterthought, and then it appears in every close photograph of the groom for the next fifty years.

Made properly, these small pieces do something lovely: they carry the wedding's flowers onto the people the flowers are for.

The groom's boutonniere

One signature bloom from the bride's bouquet, made at lapel scale. The rule I follow: it should read as a piece of her flowers that he gets to wear. My clay boutonnieres range from a single clean bloom, to a bloom with buds and leaves, up to a hero version with pearl or crystal accents for the groom who dresses up. Groomsmen's follow the same design, a touch simpler, so the groom stands out the way the bride does.

Because they are clay, they survive the whole day uncrushed. No wilted lapel by the reception, no sad flower in the 8 p.m. photos, and the groom keeps his, exactly as worn.

The mothers' corsages

A wrist corsage or a pinned cluster, made from the same garden as the bouquets, small, beautiful, and entirely hers. A clay corsage never browns in the heat of a long receiving line, and it goes home in a keepsake box instead of a refrigerator.

Made as one family

The real magic is in making everything together. Bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages from one bench, one palette, one pair of hands, so in the family portraits, every flower in the frame belongs to the same garden.

Boutonnieres and corsages are part of my services, made to order with your wedding set. Add them when you write through the custom order form. The people you love most deserve flowers that last as long as the photos.
