A boutonniere is the epitome of elegance in menswear or more simply spoken: the icing on the cake. Superbly dressed gentlemen including royals, politicians and silver screen stars such as the Duke of Windsor, Prince Charles, JFK, Douglas Fairbanks, or Fred Astaire wore them with grace and even decades after their death they are still admired for their elegance & taste in dress.
Although particularly popular at weddings, the lapel buttonhole flower is perfectly suitable for daywear in summer & winter with suits, blazers & morning dress as well as in the evening with a velvet jacket, tuxedo & tailcoat.
Fresh boutonnieres are beautiful but wilt easily difficult to find. In order to change that, Fort Belvedere developed a number of boutonnieres that are finely crafted by hand to look as authentic as the original. Moreover, it will never wilt and always looks as if it was just freshly cut!
White and Magenta Carnation
The quintessential boutonniere, a carnation is never out of place on a suit or overcoat. Truly versatile due to its popularity both on-screen and on the lapels of some of the most notable characters in history.
Handcrafted from fine silk and dyed using artisan techniques, the luster of a Fort Belvedere carnation boutonniere will last infinitely longer than a freshly cut flower.
Take a look at this video to learn more about the secret meaning of this flower and a few others you're bound to be interested in.
Of course, you can also combine this wonderful boutonniere with any of our ties, or bow ties together with any of our pocket squares and scarves. And why not take a look at our other evening accessories, too?
Why is this White and Magenta Carnation special?
It is entirely made by the hand of custom colored & hand-dyed silk petals
Authentic look - most man-made boutonnieres look fake from 10 yards away and even more so up-close. Fort Belvedere boutonnieres were modeled after existing flowers with great attention to detail in order to recreate a natural, authentic look. We tested them and people always thought they were real.
Made to be worn through the buttonhole - nothing looks more disgraceful than a boutonniere pinned to the lapel with a safety pin. Fortunately, these boutonnieres are designed just like real flowers to be worn through the buttonhole of your lapel.
Size & proportion - often, inexpensive pins on boutonnieres are gigantic and simply overwhelming. Men of taste have always opted for smaller sized boutonnieres that allow you to wear a pocket square as well without looking overloaded.
Threaded Wire Stem - the threaded wire stem provides you with some flexibility just like on a real flower, which allows you to adjust the blossom to your taste.
Enduring investment - unlike real flowers, Fort Belvedere boutonnieres will look the same for years to come if you don't abuse them.
All boutonnieres come in the Fort Belvedere green signature gift box, which also serves as a great storage device.
How to Store These Boutonnieres?
Just keep them in the Fort Belvedere gift box when you are finished wearing it and it will be fine. Also, make sure not to bend the wire incessantly to prevent it from breaking apart.
