White & Magenta Carnation

Size (Life Sized): About 2.36" | 6 cm 

The quintessential boutonniere, a carnation is never out of place on a suit or overcoat. Truly versatile due to its popularity both on-screen and on the lapels of some of the most notable characters in history, every gentleman will benefit from having a carnation boutonniere in his collection.

The petals of this carnation are white with irregular refined magenta splotches along its edges. Thanks to its white body and unobtrusive warm-colored detailing, this boutonniere will pair well with garments and accessories in any color. 

To take particular advantage of the unique coordination possible with magenta, however, consider the following suggestions. Magenta pairs well with most shades of its complementary color, green, for a vibrant contrast. It also goes nicely with shades of grey, which provide a more subdued backdrop. For a monochromatic scheme, various shades of pink alongside magenta create a harmonious look. Additionally, pairing magenta with gold or teal can yield a luxurious or tropical feel, respectively.  

Handcrafted from fine silk and dyed using artisan techniques, the luster of a Fort Belvedere carnation boutonniere will last infinitely longer than a freshly cut flower.
