💐 BOUTONNIÈRE 💐
Did you know the word boutonnière derives from the French word for “buttonhole flower”.
Similar to a wedding bouquet, in the 16th century, boutonnières were used to ward off bad luck and evil spirits.
Today, boutonnieres symbolize elegance, honor, and unity, tying the groom and wedding party together as they celebrate the union of two people.
These little cuties are typically worn on the left lapel of a suit jacket, above the heart.
Just some random facts about Buttonholes, so when you’re thinking do I really need them?
Yes, yes you do.
You wouldn’t want bad luck on your special day now would you…

So I’ve had some new followers recently so I thought I would reintroduce myself..
My name is Melanie Claire.
Yes my name is actually Melanie but you can call me Mel. Claire is my middle name. I wanted my business name to be me but not. So Claire is my floral persona if you will 😉
This business is 💯% me. I am the face behind it all so what you see is literally what you get.
Here’s some random facts about me that you may or may not have known.
🌸 I’m originally from NZ
🌸 I am not actually married 😱
🌸 I have been a florist for 4 years now 🌸 Arranged by Claire is just over 12 months old
🌸 Mother of two
🌸 My drink of choice is beer 🍺
🌸 I love Christmas!!
🌸 I’m an overthinker
🌸 Love to laugh and joke
🌸Most comfortable in shorts and a tshirt
🌸 Spiders terrify me
Thanks for following me and supporting my business. It means the world.

We’re keeping it traditional with today’s style bouquet and I’m not gonna lie it’s a nice change.
This beautifully smelling rose dominant bouquet is absolute perfection, from the subtle colour palette chosen to the layers upon layers of soft textural petals, all tied off with long draping ribbons for that modern twist.
She is definitely a style that will never go out of fashion!!
What do you think? Love it or hate it?

You just can’t go wrong with a white and green colour palette. 💍 Jasmine opted for a classic look with an off the shoulder gown and a beautiful orchid cascading bouquet featuring long flowing ribbons. 💍 Meanwhile Alex awaited his bride under a simple yet elegantly draped arbour in the romantic Grove at @fleaysevents 💍 Simply perfection if you ask me!
