That the buttonholes were supposed to match the colour(s) or the bride's bouquet. Just wondering who else didn't know this, and whether or not you're matching them if you did?
I think I'm having pink and Ivory silk flowers, and the men can wear ivory buttonholes.

I knew there were supposed to be some sort of theme to the flowers.

I don't think the mums corsages will match ours as I want them to complement their outfits.

i didn no oh god lol least i know now lol x x

yeah. apparently it goes back to olden days when the gentleman wore his lady's colours. *aren't i the clever one* lol ;)

yes you are well done, nice to know why now x

I've matched them just so they fit in but if you wanted you could use a different variety of flower than the bridal bouquet or grooms button but in the same colour, like carnations. x

My buttonholes won't match my colours as we are having thistles as buttonholes because the guys are all wearing kilts so it's something a wee bit different and our florist is doing a fantastic job with them she is adding feathers etc to make them look really nice and to stand out xx
