How to create a Pocket Boutonniere | Episode 38 of Blossoms and Bourbon

Pocket boutonnieres are all the rage right now in the world of personal flowers for all occasions! Watch as I show how to design this very on-trend style to be slipped right into a jacket pocket for the newest look in boutonnieres! And, a new-to-me bourbon for the pour in this episode. I’ll be tasting Lost Whiskey from the Lost Whiskey Club in Fairfax, Virginia! A wheat-heavy product, it’s nicely smooth and very enjoyable! Hope you enjoy the cocktail and the episode! Cheers, friend!

OMGGGGGG baby orchids? What? And that buillon wire is the perfect finishing touch. Pocket boutonnieres are my new favorite! Cheers to you, Mark!

You are my new favorite You Tuber...I am working on a wedding and binge watching your videos! Love the combo of what is clearly two of your favorite things:)

Hi Catherine! Welcome! And, thank you so much for watching! Are you a professional floral designer or think of it more as a hobby, helping friends and family? I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos! Please reach out anytime with questions you might have! Cheers!

Love your video! How long in advance can pocket boutonnieres be made and not wilt, etc.? Thanks!

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

Hi there! For our events at the shop, we typically work on boutonnieres on Tuesday and Wednesday for our Saturday events. I did a sample of the pocket boutonniere prior to this video and it lasted almost 10 days in our cooler in a hydration chamber. I would suggest not more than 3-4 days for important events like weddings to ensure maximum freshness! Thanks for watching! Cheers!

This is great! What’s an alternative to the oasis floral adhesive?

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

Thank you!! Honestly, it's really the only adhesive that I know is flower-friendly and will hold after cooling in the frig. There is another similar adhesive out on the market that doesn't hold nearly as well and that we do not use here at the shop. Some florists have used the hot pan melt glue, but if it is too hot, it may damage the flowers. Good luck! and Cheers!

What is the measurement of card

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

It is roughly the size of a 3” x 5” index card. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@bethanywalser4585]

where can I purchase the bullion wire?

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

Hi Bethany! I've just added a link in the description for this video to an Amazon storefront that sells the bulliion. It is based in the UK, so it may take a bit to get here. They have a limited selection of colors currently available. If you have a wholesale license, you may check with a floral wholesaler in your area. They may have it or can get it for you. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
