Can a boutonniere be too big?

Mallory, on September 26, 2019 at 5:28 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 9
I made these myself my mom said they are too big I really liked them at first but maybe they are too big? Will they look too over the top or weird? Should I remove the blue thistle? Thank you!!

    How many inches is it? because even next to that remote for size, that remote looks small. i think mine seemed about that big.

    It’s about 5 inches from the stem to the top of the flower

    Does your FH have a jacket you can pin it to to test it? It's hard to tell what's "too big" without having them actually pinned

    I would put it on a jacket if you can, to see what you think. I love the thistle, we had those in our flowers too!

    To be honest, your wedding.


    If you are honestly worried, put it on a jacket like PPs stated. My FH buttonhole is a bit big imo -- but it's the deathly hallows front cover shaped into a flower to match my bouquet. If you like it, do it -- don't worry about others opinions unless you share them and the best way to figure that out is to test it on a jacket.

    Definitely pin it to a jacket or hold it next to your collar.

    Here’s a photo of it next to a suit jacket I think I like the size of it now.. still probably a bit big for some people’s taste but I don’t think it would look huge or anything. Thank you for everyone’s help!
