A Style-Forward Guide to Choosing the Right Flowers

When sending flowers for a formal event, wedding, prom, or celebration, color matters just as much as flower choice. Matching flower colors to men’s suit colors creates a polished, intentional look that photographs beautifully and feels thoughtfully styled.

This guide explains how to pair flower colors with men’s suits, making it easy to choose florals that complement—not compete with—the outfit.

Why Matching Flowers to Suit Colors Matters

Flowers often act as an extension of the outfit—similar to a boutonniere, tie, or pocket square. Coordinated colors:

• Create visual balance
• Elevate formalwear
• Feel intentional rather than last-minute
• Translate beautifully in photos

Whether the flowers are worn, carried, or sent as a gift, thoughtful color pairing makes a strong impression.
