1. Place the boutonniere.
The floral should be facing you, and away from chest. The greenery should be against the chest. Center the boutonniere just below the broadest part of the lapel. The stem should follow the angle of the lapel.
2. Position the Pins
Hold the flower in place with your left hand, turn the lapel over and place the first pin just under the flower head/at the top of the steams.
3. Pin the boutonniere
Weave the point through the coat, into the boutonniere and back through the coat. (sharp part points inward and ends on the underside of the lapel). Place the second pin just under the first pin. The second pin should be parallel with the first pin.
4. Check the Position
Step back and make sure that the boutonniere is directly facing up and that it's securely fastened to the lapel. Once it it's positioned correctly, you're all set.
