It's no secret that a lot of work goes into planning a wedding, so don't let any of the details be overlooked on the big day—especially not your groom's boutonniere. While the actual bout is an important detail for your guy's look, the display of his arrangement (plus his groomsmen's!) isn't always a key detail for some couples. But think of it this way: Since your photographer will undoubtably photograph the bride's and bridesmaids' bouquets, shouldn't the groom and groomsmen's boutonnieres get some camera time, too? These little floral details make for a surprisingly great photo opp.

Whether you choose to display these important floral accessories with tags complete with each attendant's name or chose unique boutonnieres for each individual man, your hardwork should be documented. As it turns out, boutonnieres can be some of the most photogenic wedding details. Don't believe us? Just click through and see how incredibly gorgeous these little clusters of blooms can be. Whether you decide on a cohesive palette that matches your day, opt for bright and bold flowers, or go for something totally unexpected, your wedding party's boutonnieres can be shockingly cool. Here, check out real couple's boutonnieres of choice and see just how Instagram-worthy they can be.
