We went with pocket squares for our groomsmen, since they weren't huge fans of wearing flowers, and the groom was wearing a millitary-esque uniform that you're not allowed to put flowers on, so I kind of thought it would be weird for the groomsmen to have something the groom didn't. They probably would have worn them if I'd asked, but I didn't really care either way. I know there were a few options of patterned ones at the tux rental shop, but we went with solid.
i like the pocket squares! i haven't gotten married yet but i really like the look of them.
here is a picture that has given me a little inspiration on the boutonnieres v pocket square
We are just doing pocket squares. I am going to make them. FI's guys will wear the same color as my girl's dresses and FI will wear two; one that matches my girl's dresses and one that matches mine.
There are a ton of different ones that you can buy online. Just do a google search for "pocket squares".
Here is just one link that I found: http://www.royalsilkusa.com/detail_pocketsilks.html?gclid=COiNotXtv6MCFQ0_agod_i6Jew
We had both boutonieres and pocket squares (and I'll be honest, I've never seen someone in a tux without a pocket square and never in a wedding without a boutoniere - but to each their own).
Go to Google shopping and search "patterned pocket square" - a ton of options come up. Or just go buy some fabric in the pattern you want and cut it into the proper sized squares!
We're just doing pocket squares. I think it's funny that you are worried pocket squares might look silly, because I actually think that bouts look silly ;-). We went with a solid color though - if you can't find patterened ones online or at Men's Warehouse, etc that work, it would be super, SUPER easy to buy fabric and make them.
We 're doing both as well. Bouts and pocket squares. I think it looks so nice together.
We did just white pocket squares. They looked really nice-I'm not a fan of bouts at all. They always look dead at the end of the night. I would love to post pics but my husband would kill me. lol.
We did salmon fly brooches in our wedding colours. A friend of my dad's designed it for us...it's called the Miramichi Bride,
Your tux rental place should have matching options to go with their ties. Ask them first.
I'm doing this for my wedding! I think pocket squares work just fine and still look rather formal and honestly...buying flowers for the guys just seems like a waste of money, IMO.
So we went with the pocket squares.....
Unfortunately the tux place doesn't have a sage green green one to match the vest/ties....and the ivory ones looked silly. So now I am going to either order some or go to a fabric store and purchase fabric to DIY them.
Thanks ladies for the opinions (and pics!)
@MrsJKH2be: I think flowers on guys look silly. ^_^ FI didn't want them. I don't even think we are doing pocket sqaures. It's not like no one is not going to know who he is.

FI doesn't want to wear a boutonniere - I don't care either way. I suggested a pocket square instead.
2 Questions:
1. Has anyone been to a wedding (or are doing this for your wedding) in which the guys didn't wear boutonnieres? Did it look silly?
2. Where the heck can I find a printed pocket square? All I can find is solid ones but I want to jazz it up a bit if this is the direction I go in..... Google search is letting me down right now because I can't find anything!
Any info is appreciated!
