Lavender Mint & White DIY Boutonniere

 

Lavender Mint & White DIY Boutonniere Instructions

1. Cut down stems of blooms and greenery. We used 1 Ocean Song Rose and plucked off a small leaf from a stem of dusty miller.
2. Wrap floral tape around base of their stems to hold in place.
3. Add a secondary flower, we chose white lisianthus for it’s delicate texture.
4. Wrap floral tape around all the stems to hold in place
5. Add a small piece of filler, we pruned a stem of queen anne’s lace so that it wouldn’t overwhelm the other flowers. Wrap it with more floral tape to create 1 smooth “stem”
6. Pick the perfect piece of ribbon for your lavender, mint and white DIY boutonniere and cover the floral tape, securing it with floral glue.
7. Pin your boutonniere to a lapel using decorative pins!
