Dear Pragmatic Bride, let's talk about the great floral conundrum – boutonnieres on dress shirts. It's like trying to stick a flower on a smooth canvas – a futile endeavor. Sure, a vest might make it slightly less awkward, but let's save you some hard-earned cash and floral frustration. If your groomsmen are sporting dress shirts sans jackets, ditch the boutonnieres. It's like trying to force a rose into a buttonhole-sized straitjacket. Your wedding party will thank you for sparing them the floral wrestling match, and your wallet will do a happy dance. After all, who needs a boutonniere when the real bloom is the love you're celebrating? Keep it simple, stylish, and flower-free for your dress-shirted brigade
