Just a few weeks ago, we featured a story about the new trend, floral pocket squares. Many wedding florists are offering the floral pocket squares as an alternative to boutonnieres. Floral pocket squares are a great look for weddings, proms, and special events. Here are two great styles to try today!

How To Make A Floral Pocket Square

To make your pocket square, you will need:

• Craft Foam
• Scissors
• Floral Glue
• Floral Design Elements (flowers, leaves, whatever you would like to use to design your pocket square)

To make the pocket square:

1. Cut your craft foam length way to fit into your pocket. This should leave about 3 inches for designing.
2. Next, plan your design by laying your floral design elements in the places you are planning to put them. This way you can judge if you need more flowers, foliage, etc.
3. Begin to slowly glue down your design elements making sure to cover all the way to the edges of your craft foam.
4. Once you are finished with your design, insert the newly-made pocket square into the suit jacket pocket and determine how much you need to trim off the bottom.
5. Trim the bottom of your pocket square to fit inside the pocket.
6. Watch my video above for detailed instruction!
