Champagne Orchid Boutonnière Flower

You'll Be the Toast of the Town!

Size: About 2.75" | 7 cm diameter

Orchids are renowned the world over for their individuality. Asymmetric petals and large, impactful stamen epitomize the beauty of the natural world.

Whereas a real orchid flower is expensive to purchase fresh and won't last long on your lapel, this authentic hand-crafted silk Fort Belvedere Champagne Orchid boutonniere is designed to provide you with outstanding beauty and elegance for many years to come.

Unlike our traditional Fort Belvedere natural green silk thread that we use on the stems of our flowers, this Champagne Orchid boutonniere features a unique black silk thread. This feature enables you to pair your orchid boutonniere with black tie ensembles with greater ease, as a black silk thread won't stand out against the dark colors of your dinner jacket.

If you like this unique boutonniere, then you'll probably enjoy some of our other exotic boutonnieres such as our yellow exotic Caribbean boutonniere, our red sweet William boutonniere, or our peach spray rose boutonniere.

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.

Care

• To prevent damage to its delicate petals, do not crush, flatten, or roughly handle your boutonniere.
• Avoid placing anything on top of your boutonniere that could flatten, crush, or press on the petals or the shape of the flower.
• When wearing your boutonniere, do not incessantly bend or twist the wire stem. This contributes to excessive wear and can cause the wire and stem to break apart.

Storage

• For safe storage, we recommend keeping your boutonniere in the Fort Belvedere gift box it came in, which have been specially designed to keep your boutonniere safe.

Boutonnieres Crafted from the Finest Materials

The incredibly lifelike appearance of our boutonnieres depends upon sourcing only the finest raw materials for each flower. All of our flowers begin as bolts of pristine, fine white natural fabrics: whether cotton, silk, or another substance, the material is selected based on what most closely resembles the natural texture of the flower that inspired us. The thickness is also chosen to mirror the petal width of the desired flowers.

One out of over 100,000 metal dyes is then used to cut out the shape of the flower from the fabric. Each dye-cut piece is then individually and painstakingly painted by hand by a skilled German artisan. Only Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, takes comparable care in crafting such beautiful creations.

The cuts are then shaped and given volume on special metal molds. Additional details are added as needed and the flower is then attached to its wire stem. The result? A boutonniere as beautiful as the real thing but that will never wilt.

The Benefits of a Handmade Boutonniere

While a fresh, genuine boutonniere is lovely to see, few florists today can cut them correctly, and even properly prepared real boutonnieres will inevitably wilt. To change this, Fort Belvedere developed a growing collection of boutonnieres that are finely crafted by hand to appear genuine and authentic, but will never wilt and will always look as vibrant as if they were freshly cut flowers!

Why You Should Wear a Boutonniere

A boutonniere is the epitome of refined grace in menswear and, like the icing on a cake, is a detail that makes a huge impact on the rest of your outfit. There's a reason that superbly dressed gentlemen from all walks of life, including royals, statesmen, and stars of stage and the silver screen during the Golden Age of Menswear were often seen sporting these elegant accessories. Gentlemen of style such as Edward the Duke of Windsor, King Charles III, John F. Kennedy, Douglas Fairbanks, Maurice Chevalier, Clark Gable, and Fred Astaire all made boutonnieres a prominent component of their style and is one reason that even decades after their deaths, these men are still renowned for their sartorial sense and debonair presence.

Although nowadays often associated with weddings, a lapel buttonhole flower is perfectly suitable for both day and evening wear during any season. Whether paired with suits, blazers, morning dresses, or evening clothes like a velvet jacket, tuxedo, or tailcoat, boutonnieres make a marvelous impression in the spring, summer, fall, or winter. And, of course, a gorgeous boutonniere is the perfect accessory for once-in-a-lifetime occasions like graduations, big promotions, birthdays, and anniversaries.
