The boutonnière is worn on the left lapel of a jacket, stem pointing downward. The pin should go through the back of the lapel, then through the stem, and back through the lapel front.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Hold the boutonniere against the left lapel at the buttonhole level
  2. Insert the pin diagonally through the back of the lapel
  3. Pass the pin through the stem (not the flower head)
  4. Push the pin back through the lapel from behind
