There are tons of floral elements to consider for your wedding day—from the bridal bouquet to the reception centerpieces—but some are easier to forget than others. One such detail? The ring bearer's boutonnière. While your ring bearer doesn't have to don this special type of accessory, it can be the perfect finishing touch to whatever outfit he's wearing. In turn, we're here to give you some fresh, flower-filled inspiration in case you want yours to pin one on. Ahead, ring bearer boutonnière ideas that are perfect for any celebration.
We've highlighted many different types of boutonnières here, from seasonal ones befitting of a winter, spring, summer, or fall celebration to accessories that suit different wedding themes, like formal and casual. There's a whole array of colors and blooms for you to choose from, whether you love pink roses or you're partial toward something more creative like green succulents.
As you'll soon discover, ring bearer boutonnières come in all shapes, sizes, and styles. Some match other wedding flowers, like the groom and groomsmens' accessories, while others are unique to the ring bearer himself. Some are worn with bow ties or ties, and some shine all on their own. All in all, there are a number of ways to dress your young attendant, and these photos demonstrate our favorites. First up are these coordinating white ones with long stems, touches of greenery, and two statement flowers apiece. The accessories—by Maxit Flower Design—went well with their ring bearers' fancy attire. While they're undeniably pretty, they're just the start.
