Boutonnieres Crafted from the Finest Materials

The incredibly lifelike appearance of our boutonnieres depends upon sourcing only the finest raw materials for each flower. All of our flowers begin as bolts of pristine, fine white natural fabrics: whether cotton, silk, or another substance, the material is selected based on what most closely resembles the natural texture of the flower that inspired us. The thickness is also chosen to mirror the petal width of the desired flowers.

One out of over 100,000 metal dyes is then used to cut out the shape of the flower from the fabric. Each dye-cut piece is then individually and painstakingly painted by hand by a skilled German artisan. Only Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, takes comparable care in crafting such beautiful creations.

The cuts are then shaped and given volume on special metal molds. Additional details are added as needed and the flower is then attached to its wire stem. The result? A boutonniere as beautiful as the real thing but that will never wilt.

The Benefits of a Handmade Boutonniere

While a fresh, genuine boutonniere is lovely to see, few florists today can cut them correctly, and even properly prepared real boutonnieres will inevitably wilt. To change this, Fort Belvedere developed a growing collection of boutonnieres that are finely crafted by hand to appear genuine and authentic, but will never wilt and will always look as vibrant as if they were freshly cut flowers!

How to Put on a Boutonniere

1. Locate the lapel buttonhole on your jacket. Be aware that it may be loosely sewn shut. If your jacket has a purely decorative lapel buttonhole, you will need to have it made functional by an alterations tailor.
2. Insert the wire stem of the boutonniere through the lapel buttonhole. Secure it to the back of the lapel with a keeper loop or a safety pin.
3. Adjust your boutonniere from the front to ensure it sits evenly and elegantly in your lapel buttonhole.

Care

• To prevent damage to its delicate petals, do not crush, flatten, or roughly handle your boutonniere.
• Avoid placing anything on top of your boutonniere that could flatten, crush, or press on the petals or the shape of the flower.
• When wearing your boutonniere, do not incessantly bend or twist the wire stem. This contributes to excessive wear and can cause the wire and stem to break apart.

Storage

• For safe storage, we recommend keeping your boutonniere in the Fort Belvedere gift box it came in, which have been specially designed to keep your boutonniere safe.
