boutonnieres?

Hey ladies, so FH doesn't like flowers at all. He didn't wear a boutonniere for our prom and he really does not want to wear one for the wedding. I know if I ask him to he would wear it, but I really don't mind if he or any of the GM's don't wear them.

Do you think it would look bad if they didn't wear boutonnieres?

why not do something else...like i've seen little branches or something to suit their personalities, like recently someone posted a picture with a little tennis racket since the gm was a huge tennis player....or maybe i saw that in a magazine.

As of now FH says he's not wearing one either and I'm ok with that, our florist is throwing them in as a just in case type of thing if he changes his mind. I could care less if FH wears one or not

ITA it doesn't have to be flowers, here are some examples......

not weird at all. i think they get crushed when people hug you and stuff. ill let FH decide for himself if he wants to wear one but i won't push if he doesn't.

FH doesn't want to wear one either. Since yellow is one of our colors, we are going to have a yellow handkerchief folded in all of the guys' front jacket pockets :).

If he really doesn't like flowers, don't make him do it.

Its not a big deal at all if guys dont wear bouts.

I agree. And I've heard they do get crushed once someone hugs the guy and I really don't want to hug him and have crushed flowers on my dress.

I figured I'm getting so many things I want for the wedding; he should be allowed to decide whether he wants to wear it or not. His sister was making a big deal about it, saying I should make him; but I don't think it's that big of a deal.

Thanks for all your replies ladies.
