Step 2: Locate the Built-In Brooch Fasteners

Every pre-made boutonniere includes two discreet brooch-style pins: 

Top pin: Located near the flowers 

Bottom pin: Positioned just below the stem

This structure is designed for stability, ensuring your boutonniere stays perfectly upright and in place throughout the day.

Step 3: Secure on the Left Lapel Using Both Pins

Follow these positioning and pinning instructions:

Place the boutonniere on the left lapel, near the upper chest. From inside the lapel, push the top pin outward to secure the upper section of the boutonniere. This helps keep the flowers from sagging. Gently press the stem flush against the lapel, then insert the bottom pin horizontally to lock it into place.

Pro Tip: The dual-pin method keeps the boutonniere perfectly aligned and secure—even through hours of hugs, photos, and dancing
