FLF FAQ – Where do I put my boutonniere? January 12, 2010

Pin your boutonniere to your left lapel.

The most common question the Falling Leaf team hears when the boutonnieres are unleashed from their boxes is: “Where do we put this?”  If you’re planning on sticking to tradition, plan on sticking the boutonniere onto the left jacket lapel about 3-4 inches from the tip of the left shoulder.

Random fact: A couple centuries back it was common for high-class gentlemen to wear a suit designed to support a vase that kept the boutonniere fresh throughout the day.
