boutonniere and pocket square?

vexie

Ok ladies... need some help here!   Can the guys wear a boutonniere *and* a pocket square or must it be either or?  FI and BM are wearing sutis and bought the pocket squares  and I've ordered bouts for them (pink gerbera daisies!) .  I never thought about whether they can do both....  advice please!!!

Thanks ladies!  The guys really want to wear their pocket squares so I'll just let them

I work in a mens clothing store and it is actually proper etiquette to wear both a flower and a pocket silk. It started back in England with the royals and has continued on. Hope this helps!!

The place where we're getting our tuxes has vests, pocket squares and ties all in the same color and fabric. That's not possible to find at the major chain stores, I found out. We're doing a navy tux with cornflower blue accessories (we'll have both a pocket square and a boutonierre).

I'll bet this place will send you  ties and pocket squares in your color. They are one-size fits all for adults or children.

It's King Tux Rentals in Kennesaw, GA. You can do a google search for them.

I say do whatever you want. I don't really like the look of the bout. so I'm having the guys just do pocket squares.
