A twist on the traditional boutonniere

Instead of flowers pinned to the lapel, a pocket square boutonniere features several small flowers and is worn in the pocket of the jacket, much like a pocket square handkerchief. The pocket squares are made on a card, which is easily slipped into the breast pocket of the suit or tuxedo. ( In some cases, the pocket will still be sewn shut. Ask the tux shop to make sure the pockets are cut open.)
