Boutonnieres AND pocket squares?

odustudent22

My fi and I are going to go to the florist today to price things out.  I don't want to seem nieave....do groomsmen still wear boutonnieres if they have pocket squares?

I found those guys pulling off both. I saw a lot without both too though. I think it is a personal preference.

I have a question to tack on here... Do they still wear the boutonnire if they are wearing suspenders with no jacket? You aren't alone in not knowing this stuff!

Here's one with suspenders and no jacket: http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/subject/groom/picture/582788 

Here's another one, the bout is ON the suspenders here: http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/subject/groom/picture/582396

I asked my florist and the tux rental associates. Both told me no pocket square if you're wearing a boutonniere.

I would say not to put both together too. My fi didn't want a boutonniere just the pocket squares, so that is what we did.

We are skipping pockets squares and just doing bouts.

after going to the flower shop FI and I decided to make the bouts out of spray roses, which are small enough that I think it will be ok.  Thanks ladies!

For the no jacket I would be concerned with the shirt getting ruined from the pin hole. But I think it could look fine either way.

we're doing both, but are doing black pocket sqaures. So they will be there as an added touch but a neutral color that matches the jacket, so the only pops of color are the tie and bout.

We aren't doing pocket squares, just bouts.  I've only seen pocket squares at one wedding, and they had bouts too.
