Who should wear buttonholes and should the grooms be different from the everyone elses?
Wedding etiquette – buttonholes: Wedding buttonholes should be worn by all the male members of the wedding party – That includes the groom, best man, father of the bride, father of the groom and wedding ushers. The most obvious choice for buttonholes is a flower or selection of flowers that have been used in the bride’s bouquet. The groom’s buttonhole should by tradition be the largest or the boldest colour to signify his position. All other men can then wear the same – but guests these days do not expect to be provided with buttonholes at all and usually come already prepared. This means you can spend more of your floral budget on your own or venue floral decorations instead.
