Brooches for men -
the modern boutonniere
From fashion week runways to red-carpet moments, the brooch is reclaiming its place. What used to be a quiet lapel detail is now taking center stage, they can be more sober or truly bold pieces, vintage pieces, bejewelled shapes and embellished brooches that shine on their own. If you're looking for something different for your wedding day, this is it.
The Lapel Pin, Reinvented
A small pin for the jacket that says a lot without saying too much. Antique inspired and bejewelled brooches and lapel pins are no longer just a ceremony accessory, they are a way for the groom, a groomsman, or the father of the bride to wear something with history, not just another button on the suit. Designer brooches of various motifs can like flora and fauna in metalwork will always be in style.
A Real Alternative to the Boutonniere
If a fresh-flower boutonniere doesn't fit your style, or you simply want something that lasts beyond the wedding day, a lapel pin is the alternative. Unlike the flower, the brooch stays: it gets kept, passed down, worn again. It's the men's jewelry piece that turns a simple tuxedo or a velvet blazer into something memorable.
Designer Pieces, Handmade
Our lapel pin collection is curated and hand-made and created in small numbers or batches. We believe in truly collectible vintage pieces that are not mass produced such as antique & Cameo Pins with Vintage gold or silver designs and with classic motifs.Each groom's lapel pin has its own character: we like to use porcelain, gold leaf, hand-made flowers and textile embellishements that are ultimately designs with history, and pieces made to last. Truly original pieces like chain swags: Metal links connecting two points on a lapel or pocket can be commissioned and created bespoke for the groom and his groomsmen.
Who are These Brooches For
The groom who wants something different from the traditional boutonniere
Groomsmen looking for a jewelry detail with style
The father of the bride or father of the groom, with a tuxedo pin that stands apart

The tuxedo pin traditionally sits on the left lapel, at the buttonhole : right where the flower used to go. A subtle piece keeps the look formal; a larger brooch turns it into a focal point. Opt for vintage pieces for a tuxedo for a real polished look. Think Cameos and Vintage Pins with classic designs like our porcelain Gold Initial brooches. -
Unlike the boutonniere, a groom's brooch doesn't wilt , we love Floral & Fauna Metalwork: Fabric, crystal, or metal flowers, animals, and insects., they can be reused, passed down, or kept as a keepsake from the day. It's an alternative built to last well beyond the wedding.

Groomsmen, the father of the bride, and the father of the groom can all add a lapel pin to their outfit. Coordinating (without matching) the men's brooches brings visual unity to the photos.

Velvet calls for brooches with texture and volume; a smooth tuxedo allows for more delicate or colorful pieces. Prioritize handmade pieces over mass production, the difference shows.
