I ordered some vintage flowers from Blumchen & Co., which I saw mentioned somewhere on a blog. I can't recall where. oops. The labels on the flowers are pretty fascinating - especially the old tag that says, "Made in Germany - Soviet Occupied".
I didn't like the flowers as they were enough to use them 'as is' for the boutonnieres. However, I knew that I wanted to make something ahead of time so that I won't have to worry about them as the wedding approaches.
I took all of the flowers apart and put them together as shown. I also inserted a beading pin with a loop on the back of the boutonniere so that it will be very easy to slip the corsage pin through and then attach to the suit lapel.

I think they look excellent. Very hug/smash proof too!
Wow, great idea, they look wonderful! I tried making all my bouts and corsages early too--except they were from real flowers and if you look closely in our pictures, they're all wilty. Bad idea. Yours will be wilt and smash proof.
