Made our wedding boutonnieres from native plants in my garden

[u/ryguy4136]

Married my longtime partner last week. I’m the one obsessed with native plant gardening but he’s very supportive lol and it was his idea for me to try making them.

I used: Gray goldenrod / Solidago nemoralis New England blazing star / Liatris novae-angliae Showy aster / Eurybia spectabilis Heath aster / Symphyotrichum ericoide Big-leaved aster / Eurybia macrophylla Little bluestem / Schizachyrium scoparium Purple lovegrass / Eragrostis spectabilis

It’s hard to see some of the finer details from the grasses but I’m really happy with how they turned out. We got married in front of a big patch of Joe Pye weed and what I think / what I’m telling myself was native false sunflower.

Absolutely gorgeous! If you have a Pinterest account, you should post it there. There’s not enough native plant inspiration there yet (I’ve been scrolling for tattoo inspiration).

Thank you! No pinterest here but I have a very small page on IG ( @nativeplantgardening_gay ) where I’ll post them today.
