FUN AND FANCY BOUTONNIERES Clockwise from top left: Three staggeredlengths of silver chain dangle from an elegant boutonniere fashioned from a dusty miller leaf, a snippet of matte gold one-inch flat wire, a white button, andtwo yellow hypericum berries. Twin white dendrobium orchids are featured ina horizontal boutonniere with a loop of silver chain dangling below; this look could be created as a bout or as a pocket square. The orchids are backed witha galax leaf; between them is a medallion made with Diamond Wire in blackand silver; the foundation is a horizontal length of one-inch flat wire in silver.Next, craspedia ("billy buttons") emerge from the top of a Pipezz Boutonniere Holder that has been tricked out with coils of silver aluminum wire. The GrecianBoutonniere is backed with flat wire and decked on top with a single mokara orchid and twin blades of lily grass. Segments of silver flat wire, glued together,form an arty triangle that supports a mini succulent glued to one corner with a "ribbon" of lily grass. Finally, a narrow medallion made with alternating strips ofwhite and black midollino forms a backdrop for a pearl brooch and Diamante pin, plus three white hyacinth florets. The medallion is made with UGlu and canbe adhered directly to the boy's jacket (see the opposite page for a how-to).
