Marcel Proust
I am a sucker for aesthetic rituals, including the long lost art of the everyday boutonnière. Derived from the French word buttonhole, the boutonnière was originally used to ward off evil and disease. They were once so integral to everyday menswear, suit jackets were fashioned with "stem loops" on the back of lapels to hold floral adornments in place.
Some formal boutonnières I made at Holly Flora's this weekend.
