When planning a spring wedding, a lot of the styling conversation naturally revolves around the bridal bouquet. But at The Floral Point, we believe the finer details are what truly elevate a wedding from beautiful to unforgettable. Spring signals a massive shift in men’s formalwear. As the heavy black tuxedos of winter are packed away, grooms are embracing a lighter, fresher spring palette.
With over a decade of experience crafting event florals, we know that a great Buttonhole (or boutonniere) should never be an afterthought. It is the styling piece that bridges the gap between the groom’s attire and the bridal party’s floral theme.
Here is our expert guide on how to match your spring buttonholes to the latest groom's suit trends this spring.
The Linen or Sand Suit: Earthy & Textured
Linen and sand-coloured suits are incredibly popular for relaxed, coastal spring weddings. Because these fabrics are light and neutral, a stark white flower can sometimes look washed out.
The Buttonhole Match: We recommend leaning into rich textures and warm autumn-into-spring transition tones. Think a single, textured native pod, a small sprig of early Banksia, or a muted terracotta ranunculus paired with a touch of olive leaf foliage.
The Sage Green Suit: Soft & Romantic
Sage green has fast become a modern classic for spring weddings, especially for outdoor ceremonies in regional spots like Lara and Bannockburn. It is a beautiful, organic colour that naturally craves a floral companion.
The Buttonhole Match: To complement the soft green tones without competing with them, we love styling buttonholes with delicate, romantic spring whites and blush pinks. A single crisp white rose bud or a layered blush ranunculus, framed by dark green eucalyptus foliage, creates a sophisticated, cohesive look.
The Soft Blue or Slate Suit: Crisp & Fresh
Lighter shades of blue are perfect for a bright, joyful spring afternoon. This suit choice offers a brilliant canvas for flowers that really pop in wedding photography.
The Buttonhole Match: You can go one of two ways here. For a classic, high-contrast look, a pure white lily or rose bud looks incredibly sharp against blue fabric. If you want to lean into the playful energy of spring, we love using a pop of sunshine yellow—like a golden craspedia (billy button) or a small cluster of early spring blossoms.
The Precision Behind the Petals
A buttonhole might be small, but it has a tough job to do. It needs to look pristine through hours of photographs, withstand dozens of tight celebratory hugs, and stay securely fastened to the lapel without drooping.
Because we operate as a strict one-person operation, we hand-craft every single buttonhole ourselves. We meticulously wire, wrap, and prep each piece in our studio to ensure maximum durability.
We focus entirely on what you want. When you book your wedding florals with us, we don't just ask about your colour theme—we ask about the fabric and colour of the suits to ensure the boutonnieres match perfectly. From the main bridal party florals to the Mother's Corsages and individual lapels, we personally hand-deliver the entire collection straight to you on the morning of the wedding.
Plus, if your total wedding order comes to over $500, we include a complimentary small throw bouquet for the bride, ensuring every detail—large and small—is covered for your big day.
