How to Make an Easy Orchid Boutonniere

To store the finished boutonniere, place it in a plastic zip-top bag and seal it ¾ of the way. Blow air into the bag so it is fully inflated, and the flower is protected, then seal completely.

If you have a refrigerator without ANY fresh fruits or vegetables in it, then store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Otherwise, put the plastic bag in a cool spot for up to a full day.

Just before the wedding, pin the boutonniere on the groom. (It's best to have someone other than yourself to pin it on you.) Place the boutonniere on the center of your lapel. From the back of the lapel, insert a pearl-headed boutonniere pin, cross over the stem, and reinsert into the fabric.

With this easy orchid boutonniere, you're a sharply dressed and elegant man, ready to head down the aisle and get married.
