What you need to know about putting on boutonnieres

Now that we’re officially in the thick of wedding season, I thought we should discuss an often forgotten-about-until-it’s-too-late subject: how the HECK do you put on those darn boutonnieres?!

If you’re reading this, don’t worry…you’re in good company. I’m pretty confident when saying no one actually knows how to do this because at EVERY. SINGLE. WEDDING. I’ve ever photographed, someone Google’s, “How to put on a boutonniere.”

So, let’s put the subject to rest once and for all in 6 easy steps.

The Ultimate Wedding Day Detail Photo Checklist | Minnesota Wedding Photographer

Bridal detail photos...we've all seen them on Instagram and have probably pinned a butt-load of pretty photos of wedding dresses, ring photos, and flat lays on Pinterest.

I for one LOVE taking these photos but I've found that oftentimes they get over looked in the chaos of the wedding day. You've put so much thought into what jewelry you're going to wear, the design of the invites you sent out to your guests, and the flowers you'll be holding and I want to capture those details for you. I mean...you spent money on all of those things and they're part of your wedding story so it *should* be documented, right?

Aliya & Taylor | Minnesota Boat Club | Minnesota Wedding Photographer

Aliya and Taylor’s Minnesota Boat Club wedding will surely be one that I will remember for a very, very long time. Everything about the day was memorable but my two top highlights from the day (aside from the amazing weather) have to be:

1) The beautiful, heartfelt vows the brides wrote…I seriously almost cried…

And

2) When Aliya’s veil blew off and almost fell into the Mississippi River!! Luckily, it stuck on the stucco of the bridge and my second shooter was able to grab it when the wind came up again. Talk about DRAMATIC!

Kaylin & Conner | St. Anthony Main | Minnesota Wedding Photographer

I know I say this about every couple I get to work with (and I mean it 100% of the time), but Kaylin and Connor are two of the sweetest, giggliest people in the world and I'm so lucky they chose me to be their wedding photographer!

After a snowstorm canceled Connor's trip to MN, the three of us met up in late April in Minneapolis to take their must awaited engagement photos.
