By brother and his wife are foodies..He is a fab cook, so he did ornamental peppers as his bout. They were red and orange I believe with some greens.. They tied it into their wedding by adding some in the bouquets and coursages. It was lovely. Some men skip the bouts and use pocketsquares of various colors which looks elegant.

I'm making my own based off of their designs because theirs cost $50 per for the ones I wanted. I just started the project yesterday.
