Autumn Boutonnieres and Tuxedos
Once you have decided to have an autumn wedding, you will begin incorporating all types of fall items and ideas to have as part of your wedding. One very important area that needs to be focused on is the boutonnieres and tuxedos that the groom and the groomsmen will be wearing. A traditional black tuxedo is fine and a rose boutonniere will look fitting, as roses are a fall flower but to really knock the socks off your guest, the groom, and the groomsmen, give them something that will really shout out the joys of the season!
The groom’s tuxedo will most likely reflect the color scheme of the wedding so this makes it very easy to incorporate the fall theme into his dress attire. If you plan on having deep golds or reds alongside another fall color, make the brighter color the color of the groom’s vest or cumber bund. Tuxedos with tails look especially smart in the autumn as the extra material seems to be a bit too much for summer weddings but adds a very nice formal and elegant look for fall. Dark grey tuxedos can also be a warm reminiscent of the earth’s tones and can also bring a consistent feel with weather that is quite cool.
Boutonnieres are always an area where wedding planners can get carried away and autumn brings so many ideas and options, that the only problem you’ll have is deciding! Give your groom and groomsmen deep roses or single lilies to wear in their lapels and this instantly provides a sophisticated and stylish look. However, you can also use things such as clusters of cranberries on single stems or get boutonnieres that contain flowers such as wild bull thistle or pale blue forget-me-nots. Pale blues are often used in fall color schemes and boutonnieres with accents of this wildflower will look truly outstanding! Also be sure to give your boutonnieres lots of greenery or wrap the stems up with stiff twigs that can lay along the edges of the arrangement, for a truly unique look!
There are so many options for the perfect fall boutonniere and tuxedo, that just like every other aspect of your fall wedding, the only problem you will have is deciding! Whichever type of event your having, it’s important to remember that single flowers generally indicate a formal affair, while groups of flowers, twigs, or greenery would be more appropriate for a casual wedding.
