Rustic-style boutonnieres look delicious and unique. But our advice is to use fresh flowers instead of dried ones in a boutonniere. Simply because your dried boutonniere can fall apart when you hug people – and we do that a lot at a wedding. To add the rustic vibe to your boutonniere, concentrate on the fabric or ribbon that keeps the construction together. You can use burlap combined with lace for a modern rustic look, different canvas, ribbons, jute rope and other natural cords, etc.
