Soft rose, sharp thistle: a buttonhole with a little edge for a night that matters.

What's in the White Rose and Blue Thistle Boutonniere

• Ivory rose: one soft, full bloom at the centre
• Blue thistle (eryngium): a steel-blue, textured flower that holds its shape all night
• Silver dollar eucalyptus: round, silvery leaves with a fresh scent
• Natural twine and pearl pin: a simple wrap and a pin to fasten it

Made to Match the Blue Thistle Wrist Corsage

Its partner is the White Rose and Blue Thistle Wrist Corsage, tied with a navy satin ribbon. It is a favourite for matric dance flowers, and at a wedding it pairs beautifully with a bride carrying the Elegant White Bouquet or any of our white flowers. Planning the whole day? Our pick of Cape Town wedding venues and our guide to what each wedding flower means are good places to start.

How to Wear Your Boutonniere

A boutonniere sits on the left lapel, over the heart, with the flowers facing up and the stem pointing down. Push the pin in from behind the lapel, through the stem and back out again, so it stays put through every hug, photo and dance.

Keeping It Fresh Until the Big Moment

Keep it somewhere cool, like the fridge (never the freezer), until you leave, and away from direct sun and fruit bowls, because ripening fruit makes flowers age faster. Our guide to caring for fresh flowers has more tips.

Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, for same-day flower delivery. This is a fresh flower piece made to be worn on the day, so we deliver it across Cape Town only.
