creative ways to preserve your wedding boutonnières

When planning your wedding flower preservation, the bridal bouquet usually steals the spotlight. But what about the boutonnière? Preserving the groom's or groomsmen's buttonholes is a wonderful way to keep every floral detail from your special day.

Whether you want to combine them with your main arrangement or turn them into standalone keepsakes, here are some creative ways to preserve your wedding boutonnière.

 

Combined in a Date Frame

If you want all your wedding flowers to be preserved together, you can mix the boutonnière flowers directly into your main wedding bouquet arrangement. Preserving them side-by-side in a date frame keeps your memories unified in one beautiful display.

 

Kept Whole in a Resin Block

If you prefer the boutonnière to look exactly as it did on your wedding day, keeping it whole in a thick resin block is a striking option.

Bookends: Create a matching set where one bookend holds your wedding bouquet and the other preserves the whole boutonnière.

Heart Blocks: A simple yet deeply romantic shape that showcases the buttonhole perfectly.

 

Encased in a Ring Holder

Keeping a boutonnière whole inside a small resin ring holder is another charming choice. 

 

Pressed into Coasters

For a functional and everyday keepsake, delicate elements of the boutonnière can be carefully pressed and preserved inside resin coasters. It’s a subtle, everyday reminder of your wedding morning.

Note: Both ring holders and coasters depend on the size of the buttonhole fitting inside the mould. I will always test this beforehand!

 

Working with the Details

Sometimes, buttonholes need a bit of manipulation to fit properly into smaller moulds. This usually involves carefully deconstructing the boutonnière and reconstructing it inside the mould so it mirrors its original wedding-day look.
