Hi Jeff and thanks for asking.

Most people try to put the flowers on top of the man's lapel and then
also pin them on the top. Just place the boutinerre (sp?) on top of
the lapel, hold it in place with your left hand, turn the lapel over
and insert the pin on the back side of the lapel and right through the
body, stem parts of the flower, typically carnations. Sometimes 2 pins
are necessary but if you get it fastened securely, one will hold it
all day.
