‘Boutonniere’ is the French word for “buttonhole” and also refers to the decorative flower placed in the buttonhole of a man’s suit coat or tuxedo. The term and practice originated in the 1700s in France and England. The boutonniere was devised to ward off diseases, possibly evil spirits and ameliorate bad body odors. Man of the period often wore a boutonniere blossom daily. Over the years, men’s boutonnieres became reserved for formal and special events including wedding and proms. Today, they are used simply to the together the look of a couple or to accent a man’s formal ensemble. ~ page 215
